Page 47 - America's Failure to Perceive the PKK

Two countries stand out amidst all this turmoil; Iran and Turkey.
Although Iran has been subjected to sanctions for a long time due to
its nuclear activities, it is stable and powerful in terms of having
observer status in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and being
an ally in the Russian-Chinese axis. Turkey, a democratic member of
NATO and ally of the West, has strongly opposed any break-up despite
the PKK terror of the last 40 years, has grown stronger despite the con-

ditions in the region and has undergone major changes with the reforms
of the last 10 years. Although Turkey is the subject of criticism on the
subjects of its relations with its neighbors, Islamization and a percep-
tion of turning away from the West, it has made great progress in the
region in economic, commercial and democratic terms, and has been
largely unaffected by the turmoil in the area.
