This is no great surprise but it's interesting to note the formal relationship between Turkey and the United States through the auspices of NATO etc...
But at the same time there are (as always) dark forces at
work within Turkish society. There's an internal struggle over the media, the
courts, the military and politics. This struggle is projected and echoed in
Turkey's complex foreign policy.
In light of all this, one wonders how the AKP will react and
respond to American money entering Turkey under the auspices of Christian
missionary work etc...
As the social tensions increase the government will be
looking for scapegoats. The Kurds and ISIS are sufficient for the present but
that may change.
Christians abroad are placed under suspicion due to their
ties with the American Empire. They would do well to avoid such ties but power,
even ecclesiastical power in the form denominational and 'ministry' money is
centralised in the United States.
