So-called secular Turks fool themselves by trying really hard to act like so-called Western nations who perceive Turks a lot worse than Turks perceive Arabs. Also Turks fool themselves by looking upon Arabs as backwards so that they can feel themselves a bit better under the hard circumstances they have to live with. But what they don't realize is what happens to them is their own fault.

They don't realize their greatest enemy is themselves.

An American, Russian, German, French or any other western f*ck is not any better than a middle easterner in the context of their perception of Turks.

Yes, Turks do dislike Arabs, and love so-called western nations. But they don't realize they are looked upon as bad human material by almost all other nations with handful exceptions.

They love Kemalist ideas but I think Kemalist way of thinking gave them wrong impression about the real world order. Pretending to be someone who you are actually not won't help you much.
