Certainly there are interest groups who fear a secure and prosperous Republic of Turkey. Those would be the same interest groups who supported terrorism there.

Some inside information: Destro's Greek family had to leave Turkey because of enmities that resulted from WW1. Any article Destro posts is guaranteed to be anti-Turk, unless he falls, bumbps his head, passes out, and wakes a new man.

You have to wonder if there's a lot of politicking going on. Maybe some Turcomen cutting deals for profit at the expense of others, jockeying for position.

At present, with Big Brother in the neighborhood, I suspect everyone is on a little better behavior than usual. That's the way it usually works. And local factions are probably all jockeying for money and power, between groups and within those groups. I guess it's not hard to understand why they do it. Lots of oil to control for years to come.
