My Way News - Turkey scrambles to deal with Mideast upheaval
My Way News reports: "As a NATO ally, Turkey has cultivated warm relations with countries such as Libya and Syria as part of a regional outreach that included nations with a history of enmity with the West. Now this democracy led by devout Muslims is scrambling to preserve economic and other links to Mideast nations while urging their autocrats to meet the demands of protesters who want change [...] From next month [...] Turkish and Russian citizens will be able to travel to each other's countries without a visa, and trade between the two countries exceeded $25 billion last year."

Comment: The link between Turkey and Russia is growing stronger.
