Turkey's paid lots of lobbying money to be mentioned in this way. Turks are hated by the Arabs. Centuries of Ottoman occupation will do that to you.

I saw someone else in the US news mention Turkey in these terms the other day. The Turks have been looking for legitimacy ever since they aligned themselves with the Nazis during the war.

These kinds of articles are written for a pretty naive American public in mind.
