I'm not a big fan of Erdogan and I agree that Turkey is moving away from secularism and toward allowing religion in places where it doesn't belong.<br /><br />That doesn't have anything to do with the size and state of Turkey's economy and only serves to make more ludicrous the claim that Turkey's economy is being propped up by the USAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-49240868000409213842011-10-09T10:47:38.904-04:002011-10-09T10:47:38.904-04:00====Turkey cannot survive under the same sanctions...====Turkey cannot survive under the same sanctions Iran's under.=====<br /><br /><br />neither can IranAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-59538373932489202102011-10-09T02:59:38.139-04:002011-10-09T02:59:38.139-04:00Comparing Turkey with Iran economically is like co...Comparing Turkey with Iran economically is like comparing apples and oranges..<br /><br />One is under massive sanctions and the other is not.<br /><br />Even under sanctions, Iran's doing pretty well compared with Turkey who pretty much gets all she needs from outside with a made in Turkey label on it..<br /><br />Anon 11:34 PM..Maybe you can go live in Turkey and see how Islamic it has become.

Turkey is a very weak country, economically and politically. It has been knocking on EU door for many years and it has been rejected. It may fair better compared to Arabs (mostly culturally backward anyway) and Iran (kept backward by a devious regime). However, in general Iran and Turkey are on par when it comes to corruption and shayadi!.<br /><br />Turkey's economy is kep alive by money pumped by Germans and to some extent by US.
