Do you care?

Reader comment on item: Turkey, Still a Western Ally?
in response to reader comment: Once more with clarity, if you please

Does us or European public care about it, especially about Turkey. Even putting Turkey on this list is just meaningless and orientalist. Could workers strike in P.R. China: NO, could they set labour unions: NO. Could in Saudi Arabia, people from any religion have any rights whatsoever: NO. But, it is the sweet gum in your mouths, lets talk Turkey. I am aware and know orientalism and occidentalism both are extremely serious mental disorders in the east and west.
