"Fighting for the soul of Turkey Can an Islamic nation founded on secularism continue to survive the politics of faith? ADNAN R. KHAN | September 10, 2007 |
In Turkey, even the winds have meaning. There is the samiel, a hot dry wind from the south associated with destruction; there's the lodos, the moist, warm southwesterly that brings with it lethargy and a tendency toward laissez-faire; then there's the karayel and poyraz, winds from the north forecasting storms and warning people to take shelter. The winds change often -- as they are currently doing in Turkish politics."
