Its obvious the west has no interest in a stable Turkey.

Thanks for replying at the least.

If there are any negative opinions, it's due to Erdogan and recent events in Syria. Otherwise, the average Westerner just doesn't care or give a second thought about Turkey.

But anti-Turkish? That's paranoia, because, when it comes down to it, Turkey just isn't that important to the West. Yes, it occupies an important geolocation, and it has a growing economy, but in the grand scheme of things, there are larger and more important economies in the Western world.

In other words, Turks need to get some perspective and realize that they aren't at the center of the world in the same way as the Ottoman Empire.

The people on /r/worldnews represent a subset of (mostly secular) people interested in world events, and most of them are probably rather disappointed in the road that Erdogan has taken the nation, at least as far as rule of law, society, etc.
