Turkey’s 'Third Worldism'

"Turkey’s 'Third Worldism'

This newspaper’s editors may be thinking that “Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu is that rare political figure who captures the imagination of a broad spectrum of observers and analysts (“A request to Dr. Davutoğlu,” From the Bosphorus: Straight, March 16, 2011).” They may also be thinking that “Dr. Davutoğlu has developed a number of doctrines, without being doctrinaire.” Minister’s Davutoğlu’s wit and sense of humor, too, can be absolutely appealing, especially as "they were displayed at a dinner when a Daily News staffer spilled red wine down the front of the minister’s white shirt, with the minister smiling and answering: ‘Now I look like the Turkish flag.’”"
