Here is how we look to some people from outside.

Turks must think seriously and decide if that is how they want to look ?

What is described here is not a problem but an opportunity. Turkey as a developed Western oriented Muslim country has the chance to build bridges and increase understanding between nations. If you want peace, if you want progress you have to cooperate with those people also who are not your absolute favourites.

 

If you are worried about how you look from outside you should pay attention to a couple of other things.

Now that their covers are blown, both Mr.Cüneyt Zapsu and Mr Ahmet Kavas may be available for some respectable employment with Finnish government. Both gentlemen are rumored to be experts on cooperation with Al-Kaida.

You think Finns would be interested ?   {#emotions_dlg.alcoholics}

Interesting article, and somewhat frightening. However, I pretty much discount anything from anyone who is part of The American Enterprise Institute

As for the author, Michael Rubin, who is a regular writer for The Kurdistan Trubune, he hardly seems to have the best interests of Turkey at heart.
