To answer the title question, we must first mention of Mustafa Kemal, better known as Ataturk (“Father of the Turks”), the general founder of the Republic of Turkey and its first president.\u00a0Despite its short life (he died in 1938 at age 57 years) Ataturk is considered one of the great men of history.\u00a0He freed his country in a war against the Allies who had defeated the Ottoman Empire.\u00a0By wise political, economic, religious and social turned Turkey into a modern, secular and democratic.\u00a0He abolished the caliphate, forced the Turks to adopt modern European clothing (including hats instead of fez). He changed the alphabet, which had been based in Arabic, an alphabet based on Latin letters.\u00a0Transferred the capital from Istanbul to Ankara.\u00a0He abolished the sect of dervishes and other extremist Islamic sects.\u00a0He abolished Islamic courts of justice and adopted a penal code based on the Italian code.\u00a0Established education for women, and gave them civil and political equality, before they did many European states.\u00a0He founded the Museum of Art and Sculpture (arts that had been prohibited by Islam during the Ottoman Empire).\u00a0He established the Academy of the Turkish language and Turkish Historical Society.\u00a0He reorganized and modernized the University of Istanbul, and founded the University of Ankara.\u00a0Promoted the industrialization of the country.<\/p>\n

His legacy was supported mainly by the army, which, on more than one occasion, overthrew governments that did not follow the pattern inherited from Ataturk.
\nThe current prime minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, (born in 1954, ruling from March 2003), is a devout Muslim who has managed to neutralize the army and, contrary to Ataturk’s policy is Islamized the country.
\nIn the mid 70’s Erdogan began to turn in the Islamist party, MSP, which was banned by the military coup of 1980.\u00a0In 1983 he returned to political life in the party Refah Partisi, founded by former members of the MSP.\u00a0His party won the municipal elections in Istanbul.\u00a0Erdogan tried to introduce Islamic measures such as separate places for men and women on public transport and schools.
\nIn 1998, after being sentenced to prison for publicly reciting a poem by poet Islamic extremist Ziya Gokalp (“the mosques are our barracks, domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers”), seeing that continue being openly fanatical Islamic not led to anything, Erdogan announced that he was in favor of a separation of religion and state.
\nIn 2001 he founded the Party of Justice and Development Party (AKP) which, although did not get an absolute majority, won the most votes in the parliamentary election of 2002.\u00a0Since then, gradually drew closer to the positions of other Islamic states, one of whose main expression is the antagonism to Israel, a country which was allied with Turkey for decades, especially in the aspect of military (Israel Air Force trained in the airspace of Turkey).
\nTheir convictions to Israel by the Jewish state’s actions against Hamas, have a significant element of hypocrisy, since Turkey is embroiled in a bloody conflict with Kurdish separatists, (Turkey calls “terrorists”), and is illegally occupying the northern Cyprus.
\nErdogan, despite his violent and insulting expressions against Israel, so far has not broken diplomatic relations, possibly due to the support that Israel still has among the Turkish military.
\nThe concrete result of the anti-Israeli Erdogan is that hundreds of thousands of Israeli tourists visiting Turkey annually, and they do not, causing a low of 400 million dollars annually to the Turkish tourism industry.<\/p>\n

\u00bfQui\u00e9n es Recep Tayyip Erdog\u00e1n y por \t\t\tqu\u00e9 le busca pleito a Israel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Para poder contestar la pregunta \t\t\tdel t\u00edtulo, primero se debe mencionar a Mustaf\u00e1 Kemal, m\u00e1s conocido \t\t\tcomo Ataturk (“Padre de los turcos”), el general fundador de la \t\t\trep\u00fablica de Turqu\u00eda, y su primer presidente. A pesar de su corta \t\t\tvida, (muri\u00f3 en 1938, a los 57 a\u00f1os de edad) Ataturk es considerado \t\t\tuno de los m\u00e1s grandes hombres de la historia. Liber\u00f3 a su pa\u00eds en \t\t\tuna guerra contra los aliados que hab\u00edan derrotado al imperio \t\t\totomano. Mediante sabias reformas pol\u00edticas, econ\u00f3micas, religiosas \t\t\ty sociales convirti\u00f3 a Turqu\u00eda en un pa\u00eds moderno, secular y \t\t\tdemocr\u00e1tico. Aboli\u00f3 el califato, oblig\u00f3 a los turcos a adoptar la \t\t\tvestimenta europea moderna, (incluyendo sombreros en vez de fez). \t\t\tCambi\u00f3 el alfabeto, que hab\u00eda estado basado en el \u00e1rabe, a un \t\t\talfabeto basado en letras latinas. Transfiri\u00f3 la capital de Estambul \t\t\ta Ankara. Aboli\u00f3 la secta de los derviches y otras sectas isl\u00e1micas \t\t\textremistas. Aboli\u00f3 las cortes isl\u00e1micas de justicia y adopt\u00f3 un \t\t\tc\u00f3digo penal basado en el c\u00f3digo italiano. Estableci\u00f3 la educaci\u00f3n \t\t\tpara las mujeres, y les dio igualdad civil y pol\u00edtica, antes de que \t\t\tlo hicieran muchos estados europeos. Fund\u00f3 el Museo de Arte y \t\t\tEscultura (artes que hab\u00edan sido prohibidas por el Islam durante el \t\t\timperio otomano). Estableci\u00f3 la academia de la lengua turca y la \t\t\tSociedad Hist\u00f3rica turca. Reorganiz\u00f3 y moderniz\u00f3 la Universidad de \t\t\tEstambul, y fund\u00f3 la Universidad de Ankara. Promovi\u00f3 la \t\t\tindustrializaci\u00f3n del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n

Su legado fue defendido \t\t\tprincipalmente por el ej\u00e9rcito, que, en m\u00e1s de una ocasi\u00f3n, depuso a \t\t\tlos gobiernos que no segu\u00edan las pautas heredadas de Ataturk.
\nEl actual primer ministro de Turqu\u00eda, Recep Tayyip Erdog\u00e1n, (nacido \t\t\ten 1954, gobierna desde marzo del 2003), es un isl\u00e1mico devoto que \t\t\tha logrado neutralizar al ej\u00e9rcito y \u2015en contra de la pol\u00edtica de \t\t\tAtaturk\u2015 est\u00e1 islamizando el pa\u00eds.
\nA mediados de la d\u00e9cada de los 70 Erdog\u00e1n empez\u00f3 a activar en el \t\t\tpartido islamista, MSP, que fue prohibido por el golpe militar de \t\t\t1980. En 1983 retorn\u00f3 a la vida pol\u00edtica en el partido Refah Partisi, \t\t\tfundado por ex miembros del MSP. Su partido gan\u00f3 las elecciones \t\t\tmunicipales de Estambul. Erdog\u00e1n trat\u00f3 de introducir medidas \t\t\tisl\u00e1micas, tales como lugares separados para hombres y mujeres en el \t\t\ttransporte p\u00fablico y en las escuelas.
\nEn 1998, despu\u00e9s de ser condenado a prisi\u00f3n, por recitar \t\t\tp\u00fablicamente un poema isl\u00e1mico extremista del poeta Ziya Gokalp, \t\t\t(“las mezquitas son nuestros cuarteles, las c\u00fapulas nuestros cascos, \t\t\tlos minaretes nuestras bayonetas y los creyentes nuestros \t\t\tsoldados”), viendo que continuar siendo abiertamente isl\u00e1mico \t\t\tfan\u00e1tico no le conduc\u00eda a nada, Erdog\u00e1n anunci\u00f3 que estaba favor de \t\t\tuna separaci\u00f3n de la religi\u00f3n y del estado.
\nEn el a\u00f1o 2001 fund\u00f3 el Partido de la Justicia y el Desarrollo (AKP) \t\t\tque, aunque no consigui\u00f3 mayor\u00eda absoluta, logr\u00f3 la mayor cantidad \t\t\tde votos en la elecci\u00f3n parlamentaria del 2002. Desde esa fecha, \t\t\tgradualmente, se fue acercando a las posiciones de otros estados \t\t\tisl\u00e1micos, una de cuyas principales expresiones es el antagonismo a \t\t\tIsrael, pa\u00eds que hab\u00eda sido aliado de Turqu\u00eda durante d\u00e9cadas, \t\t\tespecialmente en el aspecto militar (la fuerza a\u00e9rea de Israel \t\t\tentrenaba en el espacio a\u00e9reo de Turqu\u00eda).
\nSus condenas a Israel, por las acciones del estado hebreo contra \t\t\tHam\u00e1s, tienen un apreciable elemento de hipocres\u00eda, ya que Turqu\u00eda \t\t\test\u00e1 envuelta en un sangriento conflicto con los separatistas \t\t\tkurdos, (Turqu\u00eda los llama “terroristas”), y ocupa ilegalmente el \t\t\tnorte de Chipre.
\nErdog\u00e1n, a pesar de sus violentas e insultantes expresiones contra \t\t\tIsrael, hasta ahora no ha roto relaciones diplom\u00e1ticas, debido, \t\t\tposiblemente, al apoyo que Israel a\u00fan tiene entre los militares \t\t\tturcos.
\nEl resultado concreto de la pol\u00edtica anti-israel\u00ed de Erdog\u00e1n es que \t\t\tlos cientos de miles de turistas israel\u00edes que visitaban anualmente \t\t\tTurqu\u00eda, ya no lo hacen, causando una baja de 400 millones de \t\t\td\u00f3lares anuales a la industria tur\u00edstica turca.<\/p>\n
