Best characteristics;
"“naïveté, a lack of knowledge & a refusal to consult and learn.”
"... Turkey wasn’t a Middle Eastern country, but we had links with the region. Because of its position, Turkey could have played the role of mediator in the Middle East without having to be a party to its conflicts.Davutoglu obliterated these principles. He made Turkey a part of the region’s daunting and intractable issues. He made Turkey a Middle Eastern country that looks at the world from a Sunni perspective, forming a Sunni axis with Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Once again, he made Turkey subservient to the interests of the United States and Israel in the region. Gaining membership to the European Union disappeared from our agenda.
Turkey, which was until a couple of years ago mediating between Syria and Israel, Iran and the West, is now an adversary of those countries. We have drawn daggers with Iraq. Although we are indirectly serving Israel by trying to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, we are not exactly on good terms with that country either. Our only “friend” in the region is the Iraqi Kurds.
A seasoned diplomat defined Davutoglu’s basic characteristics as “naïveté, romanticism, a lack of knowledge and a refusal to consult and learn.”
Turkey will pay heavily for this.
The new outlook of the terror perpetrated by the Kurdish Worker’s Party is the first poisoned fruit of this policy. And as long as Davutoglu remains where he is, it certainly won't be the last.
Davutoglu is an unmitigated disaster for Turkey."
