Foreign policy, in the hands of Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu , who aspires for Turkey to regain its former leadership of the Middle East, over-reached even more blatantly. Ankara not only adopted a more belligerent approach to Cyprus but recklessly inserted itself in such sensitive topics as the Iranian nuclear buildup and the Arab-Israeli conflict . Most surprising of all has been its backing for IHH, a domestic Turkish “charity” with documented ties to Al-Qaeda . विदेश मंत्री अहमत दावतोग्लू के हाथों में विदेश नीति ने तो और भी ऊँची उडान भरी है जो मध्य पूर्व में तुर्की की पूर्व स्थिति के नेतृत्व को प्राप्त करने के आकाँक्षी हैं। अंकारा ने न केवल साइप्रस के विरुद्ध युद्ध जैसी मानसिकता अपनाई वरन बहुत ही लापरवाही से स्वयं को ईरानी परमाणु तैयारी के मामले में भी शामिल कर लिया और साथ ही अरब-इजरायल संघर्ष में भी। सबसे अधिक आश्चर्यजनक बात तो IHH नामक् घरेलू तुर्की “ प्रदाय” संगठन का समर्थन है जो कि अल-कायदा के साथ सम्पर्कों के लिये अभिलेखित है।

Mr. Pipes is director of the Middle East Forum and Taube distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University. since 1974, Cyprus and its Church have been experiencing the most difficult times in their history. ... Turkey has implemented a plan of ethnic cleansing. It drove out the Orthodox Christians from their ancestral homes and brought - and continues to bring - hundreds of thousands of settlers from Anatolia, thus altering the demographic character of Cyprus. In addition, it has changed all the historical place names into Turkish ones. Our cultural heritage has been plundered relentlessly and our Christian monuments are being destroyed or sold on the markets of illicit dealers in antiquities, in an attempt to rid the island of every last trace of all that is Greek or Christian. ... एरडोगन का दावा है कि उत्तरी साइप्रस में तुर्की की सेना का नियंत्रण नहीं है वरन तुर्की की ओर से सत्ता की गारण्टी है जो भी इसका अर्थ हो। वैसे बाहरी विश्व मूर्ख नहीं है। यदि एल्विस कोस्टेलो ने अभी हाल में फिलीस्तीन के लोगों के कष्ट के विरोध में तेल अवीव में कार्यक्रम से अपना नाम वापस ले लिया तो जेनिफर लोपेज ने अपना कार्यक्रम उत्तरी साइप्रस में मानवाधिकार उल्लंघन के विरोध में नहीं किया।

Israel views Cyprus and Greece as part of the “Western arc” of its periphery strategy, along with other European countries such as Christian Romania and Bulgaria, and Muslim Albania, which has been a standout defender of Israel in the United Nations. Israel now also has allies to the east, such as Georgia and Azerbaijan in Central Asia. And as part of its southern diplomacy, Israel recently established an East African alliance with predominantly Christian Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia and South Sudan designed to fend off Iran and Islamist terrorism. Israel's stock in East Africa is particularly high because of its role in gaining independence for South Sudan, the world's newest state. Solomon concludes with a big-picture view of Israel's geopolitical circumstances: Focus on Israel and it appears to be a tiny isolated country surrounded by a sea of hostile Arab nations. Zoom out, though, and it is the Arab nations that are revealed to be isolated, increasingly surrounded by age-old adversaries, most of which have growing ties to Israel. इजरायल और अन्य पश्चिमवासियों के लिये इसका अर्थ कृषि, स्वास्थ्य और शिक्षा में सहायता प्रदान करना है और उन्हें यह सलाह देना है कि सुरक्षा और विकास पर ध्यान केंद्रित करें परंतु अपनी इच्छा के युद्ध से बचें। एक सफल दक्षिणी सूडान वास्तव में एक क्षेत्रीय शक्ति बन सकता है और न केवल इजरायल का वरन समस्त पश्चिम का एक शक्तिशाली मित्र हो सकता है।

It is the far-flung, easternmost island of Greece, 80 miles from Rhodes, 170 miles west of Cyprus, but just 1 mile off the coast of Turkey. Kastelorizo (in Greek, Καστελόριζο; or officially Megisti, Μεγίστη; Meis in Turkish) is tiny, comprising just 5 square miles, plus some yet smaller, uninhabited islands. Its 430 inhabitants are way down from 10,000 in the late nineteenth century. The Lonely Planet travel guide has picked it as one of the four best Greek islands (out of thousands) for diving and snorkeling. There's no public transportation from nearby Anatolia, only from distant Rhodes by airplane or ferry. यह साइप्रस से 170 मील दूर, रोडेश से 80 मील दूर तथा ग्रीस प्रायद्वीप से सुदूर उत्तर में है लेकिन तुर्की के तट से मात्र एक मील की दूरी पर स्थित है। कैस्टेलोरिजो अत्यंत छोटा है जो कि मात्र 5 वर्ग मील में विस्तृत है और उससे भी लघुतम स्वरूप यह कि यहाँ लोगों की बस्ती नहीं है। उन्नीसवीं शताब्दी में इसके 10,000 निवासी अब 430 तक सीमित रह गये हैं। इसके अकेलेपन के कारण यह ग्रीक प्रायद्वीप के सबसे अच्छे चार द्वीपों में है जो कि मौजमस्ती के लिये सर्वाधिक उपयुक्त है। अनातोलिया के निकट से यहाँ के लिये कोई सार्वजनिक वाहन नहीं है केवल सुदूर रोडेश से विमान या नाव मिल सकते हैं।
