Is Turkey the only thing stopping the Middle East Terrorist's from openly Attacking Europe ?
The Stratejic importance of Turkey has only just been recognised by the Fools at the EU.
Read this
" In an interview with a Finnish newspaper, Mr Rehn pointed to the strategic importance of Turkey for the European Union and said that the crisis in the Middle East could contribute Turkey’s EU membership process."

How quickly people's view's change when they need you to defend them!

What do u mean...most of the middle east Arab / Muslim countries dont have great regards for Turkey. Greece and Cyprus has better diplomatic relations with most of the middle east countries than Turkey has.

I think Arabs dislike Turks more than Greeks are supposed to lol.

Turkey and Israel traditionally have strong diplomatic and military ties.

You have to add the whole Ottoman opression of Arabs too into the equation.
