I am sure that only a few people have been following President Obama's trip to Turkey, but I would like to encourage you to do so. Of course, I do have bias for Turkey. I have traveled there and fallen in love with the people, its culture, and the country itself.
I believe that this is the first step in developing a lasting relationship between Turkey and the United States. I truly believe that Turkey would be a good ally for America in the years to come. We have much to learn from one another.
To read up on Obama's trip, I suggest stepping out of the American media and reading some from Turkey. Here is a link to the site http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/english/obama/
This news site has been very helpful for me in keeping up with the going on's of Turkey, and I know that it will be informative for you.
After some time I hope to write up a diagnoses of the trip and present to everyone my thoughts on how things are going.
Thanks for the news link; I will try to check headlines regularly. I agree that Turkey is an important ally - especially in these times.
ReplyDeleteI happened to see some of the President's news conference with President Gul. The first question was about Armenia and Turkey. Will you post your thoughts on that? I heard some of Mr. Obama's campaign comments on this issue. Will there ever be politicians who don't just engage in rhetoric when campaigning?
