Turkey: where are you headed ?

While there are more and more troubles that Turkey imposes to itself, the lack of progress in major matters is everyday more obvious.

No possibility to alter constitution because constitutional court doubts on the ruling party's intentions, no possibility to get closer to Europe because of one French politician, no move on Cyprus before the Greeks act, no closing of any chapter on the EU negotiations, no proposal to Armenia while creative ideas are welcomed, .. That is a long list making think that Turkey can sometimes acts like a dog trying to catch its own tail. Who are these people trying to save Turkey by whirling around the same single ideas they got for 50 years or more. Isn't threatening Turkey with bullets in the feet, a non-solution for any kind of problem? Will there be anything left to save at the end?
Turkey will in the end redefine itself as more than its 20th century antagonisms. Turkey needs to find its balance and it is time for all politicians and administrations to think that they belong to the same country. If discussions in Turkey circle around foreign rules being imposed then maybe it is high time to construct a Turkey setting the standards. For now Turkey is blocking itself from moving in any direction. Possibilities of compromises have to arise for Turkey to set new objectives and continue to enhance itself.
