"Turkey shows the way
BY AIJAZ ZAKA SYED
28 July 2007
I HAVE never been to Turkey. Although the country is seen as part of the greater Middle East by its Western neighbours, it’s a little out of the way for most of us in the region.
Which is perhaps why Turkey is seldom seen as part of the neighbourhood by its Arab and Muslim neighbours in the south.
However, the Muslims around the world share a special and emotional bond with Turkey. After all, it had been home to the Caliphate until the last century."
