"The U.S. Support of Turkish Islamists

In the previous letter we discussed “The Importance of Laicism For Turkey” We will be surprised to find out that this importance does not seem to be understood by the friends of Turkey.
Of course, in today’s transparent world, the whole world sees Turkey’s problems. It would make sense that the states that call themselves “Friends of Turkey” would help Turks improve their laic majority and organize them for winning at the next election. It is surprising that both the United States of America (USA) and the European Union (EU), two friends of Turkey, have been supporting the religious party. Is it possible that these two friends want Turkey to become less survivable? In other words, are they really no friends of Turkey? That seems preposterous to me, but, that is exactly what many Turks have concluded and that is why pro-American vote in Turkey has sank to 9 %."
