Turkey

Talking about common misconceptions about the Middle East always seems to anger me. So it's come to my attention to direct my attention on this blog back to the Middle East. The next country I plan to discuss is Turkey.

Some people argue that Turkey isn't a Middle Eastern country. 'They're not Arab and they don't speak Arabic' seems to be their only argument. I seem to find it a Middle Eastern country because it is in the region and ninety eight percent out of the entire population is Muslim. They hold close ties with the "already agreed upon" Middle Eastern countries.

I love Turkey. I think it is among the most beautiful and amazing countries in the entire world. It's very powerful, rich, and culturally unique, with a very respectable past. It also seems like they try to make treaties with every one, even though some treaties conflict with others, they are still a peace-keeping nation. I also think of them as the European Middle Eastern people. Their complexion and their characteristics aren't very Arab.

Turkey has a very powerful army that's ready for business anytime. Due to the amount of respect given to this nations from others, I don't think they'll have to use their military anytime soon. However, if it is ever needed for what ever reason, it is always available. It's large, modern, equipped, and very professional.

The Turks tend to maintain everything in their nation in order to keep stability. Their economy used to suffer from robbery caused by corruption, so that seems to impede their economic growth a little bit. But when the new regime came into power, you're able to witness a significant increase in their economy. This new increase was caused by prevention of the robbery.

In the midst of the Arab Uprising, Turkey had protests. But they were in protest of how good their government and regime was. People tend to cancel Turkey out when they think regional powers,. I'll be honest, I barely ever used to pay much attention to this amazing nation, however, after looking into them, I realized that they deserve a lot of attention.
