| | Turkey (12/05) |
 | | Turkey entered NATO in 1952 and serves as the organization's vital eastern anchor, controlling the straits leading from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean and sharing a border with Syria, Iraq, and Iran. | | | Turkey's primary political, economic, and security ties are with the West, although some voices call for a more "Eurasian" orientation. | | | The doctrine enunciated American intentions to guarantee the security of Turkey and Greece and resulted in large scale U.S. military and economic aid. |

| | Ironically, while Turkey is too Islamic for Europe, it is not enough Islamic for most of the Arab world, as it is willing to make alliances with Israel. | | | It occurred in the 1660s when a demagogue arose from the Turkish Jewish community and had perhaps half of the Jews in the world at that time believing he was the Messiah. | | | Of course Turkey is all tied up in one of the strangest stories of Jewish history. |

| | Turkey's port of Ceyhan is a major outlet for Iraqi oil exports, with optimal pipeline capacity from Iraq of about 1.5-1.6 million bbl/d, but oil flows have been only sporadic since late March 2003, following the outbreak of the Iraq war. | | | Turkey's Bosporus Straits are a major shipping "choke point" between the Black and Mediterranean Seas. | | | In December 2003, TPAO stated that it was planning large-scale exploration for oil and gas in the Black Sea, Mediterranean, and Aegean Seas (plus southeastern Turkey). |

| | Among the documented violations are the widespread use of torture, police abuse, assassinations, and "disappearances." Terrible conditions, torture and beatings in Turkish prisons were brought to light by a large hunger strike staged in the fall of 2000. | | | In addition to internal political and human rights problems, Turkey has extremely tense relations with neighboring Greece, which is also a member of NATO. | | | After similar attacks in the past, the U.N. Secretary General condemned the cross-border invasions as a violation of international law, but the U.S. State Department has voiced its support for Turkey’s right to violate Iraq’s borders to defend itself from the PKK. |

| | Domesticated turkey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Turkeys were brought back to Europe shortly after their discovery in the New World. | | | This article has been tagged since May 2005. | | | Suggestions have been made that the Mexican Ocellated Turkey (Meleagris ocellata) might also be involved, but the plumage of domestic turkeys does not support this theory; in particular, the chest tuft of domestic turkeys is a clear indicator of descent from the Wild Turkey (the Ocellated Turkey does not have this tuft). |
