How is turkey unique different the middle east nations?

Turkey was founded on a former Roman territory, approximately one thousand years ago. Very often, they called their state, their territory and even themselves “Roman” (Rum, in Turkish): Roman Saltanate, Rum Seljuk, Rum Province…

Today, only southeastern corner of Turkey is middle eastern. The rest is rather eastern European (Balkan, in particular). Turkish people (culture, traditions, habits) are much like Greeks, Romanians, Serbs, Bosnians, Albanians and Macedonians.

Some people think that Turkey was a middle eastern country and after the westernization revolutions it became different. This is not true. It was always different. It was a Balkan country, in negative or positive aspect, and still is.

And interesting that today the most difficult part in integrating to the rest of country is the southeastern part of Turkey: PKK terrorism, tribal structure, feudal institutions, poverty etc…

heat from the core of the earth causes convection currents to occur in the mantle. these currents slowly move the crust around.

it is very hard for the climatologists to precisely predict how will the global temperatures be changing so there's lots of models, some of which differ significantly, this is due to multiple factors, and probably the most important is the human activity.

humans have been a key factor in climate change around the globe since the start of the industrial revolution, and in the past few decades the consequences are becoming more obvious. there's lots of emission of pollutants in the atmosphere as well as changing the environment on the surface itself, so it's really hard to predict how will that go in the future because there's some countries that are reducing the damage and are going towards green energy, while others are stubbornly continuing with pollution and damages to the environment.
