Description

Turkey took center stage again this week by making a last-ditch attempt to end the fivemonth-old violence, which has cost Syria an estimated 2000 people. Turkish Foreign Minister Davutoglu made a quick visit to Damascus where he met President Bashar al-Assad and other members of his government to explore solutions to the crisis, which Ankara considers a potential threat to its national security. Turkey's intensified interest in peace-making efforts in Syria is a reflection of Prime Minister Recep Erdogan's policy of developing friendships in the Middle East. Already Erdogan has an unspoken pact with the Turkish electorate: he delivers rapid economic growth, jobs and money, and voters let him shape what kind of democracy this Muslim nation of 74 million people becomes. So far, the deal has served him well. Erdogan has overseen a near tripling of per capita income in the last decade. That has helped blunt misgivings over the way he deals with dissent, and allowed him to subordinate Turkey's powerful military, which has long seen itself as guardian of the country's secular soul. Last year he used a plebiscite on constitutional reform to break the cliques in the judiciary, another bastion of Turkey's secular old guard. The prime minister's Justice and Development Party (AKP), socially conservative and successor to a banned Islamist party, won a third term with 50 percent of the vote in parliamentary elections in June thanks largely to the success of its pro-growth free-market policies.
