the turkish people have a lot of history to be proud of...think of historical places like constantinople, it was THE CENTRE of the church before it moved to rome, most people don't know this
indonesia is the largest muslim country, but turkey is prob the most successful, economically, politically and stable wise
they are in nato
atarurk is one of my all time historical heroes, i love what he did for his country instead of the brain dead pollies we have now with no vision....he was a legend
