No matter where I go, Turkey will always be close to my heart. Needless to say whenever they are in the news, I am drawn to read about their current events. I am always amazed at how progressive Turkey is compared to other Middle Eastern countries, and even how much Turkey changed in the four years I was there. That being said, Turkey has been changing a lot this year. They seem to be moving further away from the secular roots that Ataturk worked so hard to establish. How knows what the future holds, but I will continue to watch.Interesting article on BBC about the current situation with Israel: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8714983.stm
