Oof.. Well the thing with Turkey is that its a powder keg with a lit fuse. This is not really about religious problems, or the war in Ukraine next doors causing problems, or the problematic relationship between Greece and Turkey.. or the problematic relationship between Russia and Turkey.. or the insane leadership of their president.. or his insane economic policies destroying the economy.. or any number of other factors.
Its the fact that all of those things are happening at once. Turkey is in a REALLY REALLY REAAAAAALLY bad spot right now and while they are technically part of NATO they are coming into increasing conflict with USA and other NATO members, including Finland and Sweden who is looking to join which would need Turkey to approve it, which they dont want to do but also brings pressure onto Turkey from the rest of NATO, but the larger side of the problem is that they are more ideologically aligned with Russia and forming closer relationships and are now thanks to their energy crisis and collapsing economy having to crawl to Putin on their knees and beg.. Its just a really bad an complicated situation.
Point is that life in Turkey right now is a crazy rollercoaster of bad things threatening to destroy them and a crazy religious zealot in the head of government making all the wrong decision. This filters down to the population which will begin to cause their own problems, such as terrorist attacks. And since Turkey has a lot of religious tensions that then becomes the excuse, the spark that ignites the trouble, the straw that broke the camels back.. whatever you want to call it.
But again, had the country not been run into the ground and put in a terrible position by a religious mad man none of this would have happened and there would not be any terrorism. So while you could simplify it as "religious problems" when making a travel alert, it would take at least a 3 year university study to actually get to the bottom of why Turkey is just about to erupt.
I don’t get it.
