LONELY COUNTRY
Today's Zaman, Turkey
Nov 26 2013
26 November 2013 /KORAY CALIÅ~^KAN, RADÄ°KAL A military coup took place
in Egypt. The coup is evil, and Turkey has expressed its concerns.
However, the Muslim Brotherhood is more effective in expressing
their reaction to the coup than Turkey is. Turkey entered a heated
and unnecessary debate with Egypt rather than negotiating with the
country through diplomatic channels. None of the Muslim countries,
apart from Turkey, chose this path, which led to the expulsion of
Turkish Ambassador to Egypt Huseyin Avni Botsalı. Now, we have no
ambassador in Syria, Israel, Armenia or Egypt. Turkey's harsh stance in
the Middle East serves no good purpose. Turkey is gradually becoming a
lonely country in the Middle East, despite its great economic potential
and cultural ties in the region.
