Turkey Builds Sway in Iraq With Money and Culture - NYTimes.com
ZAKHO, Iraq — A Turkey as resurgent as at any time since its Ottoman glory is projecting influence through a turbulent Iraq, from the boomtowns of the north to the oil fields near southernmost Basra, in a show of power that illustrates its growing heft across an Arab world long suspicious of it.
(Noted by our Midwest bureau.)
Resurgent Turkey, BTW, would be an excellent name for a rock band.
