| Publisher Description: The purpose of this book is to add to the understanding of the dangers of international terrorism as those affect Turkey. Turkey has been the unique target of international terrorism since 1965. Taking into consideration her geographical location, social and economic potential, Turkey has always attracted the Soviet Union's attention. It will be probably the same in the future. Turkey is the only Islamic nation in NATO. It is however, totally secular, democratic and based on free market principles. On the other hand, Turkeyis a major obstacle for the ideological and military expansion of the Soviet Union towards the Middle East. This is the main reason why Turkey has been the main target of international terrorism. Turkey has been accumulating a very costly social experience in the last three decades. There is no shortage of circumstantial evidence of outside involvement in Turkish terrorism. International terrorism has been threatening not only Turkey, but also alldemocratic societies in the world. On account of this fact, the core of the solution, depends in an effective measure which will be taken by all democratic societies, governments and institutions. |
