Is Turkey shifting from the West?

These days this is a very much asked question. Where is Turkey heading to? In fact Turkey is heading nowhere. It is just adjusting its course to global developments. Has Europe accepted Turkey whereas Turkey refused to join the EU. The answer is NO. Has Turkey refused to solve the Cyprus issue? The answer is again: NO. It were the Greek Cypriots who refused while the majority of the Turkish Cypriots voted yes for the peace treaty. Is Prime Minister Erdogan representing Turkey? The answer is again NO. He only is supported by around 30% of the votes and of these votes not more than 10% are hardliners. At the end of the day Prime MinisterErdogan will lose this battle. For sure. As the elite and secular part of Turkey who represent more than 70% of Turkey’s population and are Ataturk followers will without a doubt punish the AKP and its leaders for misrepresenting Turkish values, for being pro-Kurdish, for being pro-Arab and  for being anti-nationalistic. Everybody with a little bit of sense of history should know the Turks. One of the few people on this earth who never have lived under the rule of others. Never, ever. Now Erdogan, who was elected for all the wrong reasons, democratically,  is just a dark stain in Turkish history. Nothing more and nothing less.
