By Mohammad Hassan Al Harbi, Special to Gulf News
Turkey is not so different from Arab countries when it comes to economy or politics, except for its support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and its quest, in coordination with others, to empower the group’s rule.

Erdoğan reaps what he sowed
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s attempt to impose his will on parliament after the elections is already faltering. He has invited the leaders of the parties that managed to get into parliament to separate meetings aimed at trying to discuss the nature of the coalition government to be formed. The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) and the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) have rejected this invitation outright on the grounds that it is irregular. The main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) has also made clear it is against such an initiative.

Since the beginning of the crisis in Syria in 2011, Turkey has come to host more than 1 million Syrian refugees. Moreover, the crises in Iraq have pushed the numbers of Arabic-speaking refugees up even higher around the country. Yet, in Istanbul, the cultural capital of Turkey where an estimated 350,000 Syrian refugees currently reside, literature catering to the Arab population isn't as prevalent as it should be.
