For all the fast talk of political Islam and a return to piety, there truly are two sides to this magnificent resurgent nation.

I have long thought that Turkey’s youth will shape Turkey’s future. At twenty-one I suppose I am considered ‘young’. I live and study in Turkey as a foreign resident and most of my friends are Turkish. For me, and for many of them, clips like these are inspirational. Thank you for sharing them.
