The Turks are already a Democratic Nation . İf this true fact has not been understood by today’s civilised world I must direct attention to the remarkable comments made by our ambassador regarding the last days of the Ottoman empire. On the other hand the American people have always relied and depended on democrasy to identify them as a nation since their inception . İt has been through this blessing that they have been placed amongst today’s civilised world as a new nation (country). This has given them acceptance as a new nation . Thus the Turkish people feel a strong sentiment of love and understanding towards the American people . I do hope that the observation of this fact will encourage further dialog and warm relations between the two nations; but this will not be all!
