August 14, 201213 yr These new leaders in the Middle East and North Africa are going to get some rude awakenings. Erdogan in Turkey is a prime example, He is finding out the hard way that it is easier to be in the opposition than it is to rule. One of Erdogan's primary foreign policy statements/goals was "Zero Problems with Turkey's neighbors". Now Turkey is not that far from a shooting war with two of it's neighbors (Syria and Iran) and Turkey frequently launches attacks into Kurdish Iraq. Throw in the problems Turkey has been having with Israel and the long term animosity with Greece and Armenia and you are left with Georgia being the only neighbor they aren't bickering with. These guys are a bit naive when it comes to foreign relations and actually governing.
