Good news, bogarde.

It's the only Western civilisation in that Godforsaken part of the world.

Really? I am sure that will come as a revelation to the Turks, the Cypriots and the Jordanians, Herbie... Roll Eyes

It's debatable how Western Turkey is. The Republic model is perhaps Western, along with the Ataturk reforms, but that's where it ends.

Democracy? YES/NO

You have to be joking. Turkey is half way to being an Islamic Caliphate under Erdogan.
Jordan is nowhere near a democracy.
Cyprus? Last time I looked Cyprus was in the Med and divided into a Greek half and a Turkish half.
