Correction: Half An Apology For the Shah Of Iran | ELAI 17.b
Good for Turkey
Silly comparison really. I bet an average Turk is far more religous than average Iranian! There is an even famous saying: scratch an automan and underneath you find a devot moslem.
Turkey not having any oil, never went through the issues and struggles that Iran went through. In a way it was blessing not to have an oil, cause it was sheltered from brutal politics of oil. Plus not having too much money meant bulk of the population were poor (To some extent even now) and thus you never saw infusion of too much money to a traditional society that was not quite ready for it............
One thing I do give credit to turkey (right or wrong) was the fact the army always had open hand and through its history and saved the country at many occasions. Of course now with Army's power in decline who knows what's going to happen there.
In Iran different story: fearof coup by the army ( Specially after purges of army officers who were member of tudeh in 1950's) created an army that was sworn to the king and the constitution, well once the king was gone,and the constitution down the tube, the rest is history...........
