"Book Review - Turkey at the crossroads
The New Turkey: The Quiet Revolution at the Edge of Europe. By Chris Morris. London: Granta Publications, pp. 245, 2005, HB, £17.99.
Modern Turkey consists of only a fraction of its former self. Chris Morris, the author of the book under review, is right to say “Trying to understand contemporary Turkey is impossible if you don’t know something of its historical roots. A country which is now ninety-nine per cent Muslim contains some of Christianity’s earliest sites, such as the underground rock of Cappaddocia, and the ancient Syrian monasteries of Tur Abdin, where monks still speak Aramaic, the language of Christ.
