Turkey

Reader comment on item: Is the Middle East "Freer, More Hopeful, and More Promising"?

Submitted by Bruce Godfrey (United States), Dec 14, 2008 at 09:54

Prof. Pipes, is it possible that you exaggerate about Turkey being the most anti-American country in the world? More than Iran? More than Cuba or Venezuela? At a minimum, claiming that a NATO ally is more anti-American than those three countries is the sort of thing that merits some linking and substantiation, at least in my view.

Respectfully, Bruce Godfrey

Daniel Pipes replies:

It's been established in poll after poll that fewer Turks are pro-American (about 9 percent) than in any other country. Look it up.
