The terror attack at Ataturk airport was the seventh in a series of attacks that have rocked Turkey recently. While the audacious lone-wolf-style attack is characteristic of ISIS, Turkey has made many enemies since it entered the war in Syria on America’s side. Turkey might find the answer to these radical attacks if it looks within at its problematic shift towards the Islamic Right in its political choices recently. Politics in Turkey is charged with right-wing rhetoric, a development that shouldn’t be ignored if Turkey wants to retain its unique place in the world order.
