stumbled over that article from the Turkish newspaper ZAMAN:

 It took an earthquake to improve relations with Greece, a football match provided the excuse to establish dialogue with Armenia and a television soap opera is transforming Turkey’s image across the Arab world, where the Turkish government is also pursuing mediation efforts.But what will it take to restore peace at home?

The Turkish government has successfully engaged with friends and former foes abroad in recent years, adopting a proactive diplomatic stance that has won the respect of many international observers (as well as a degree of scorn from those who see the government’s regional engagement as proof that Turkey is moving away from the West).
