Turkey's Consulate in Mosul has been raided by a terrorist organisation called ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and Levant). The entire diplomatic mission, together with their families, has been abducted. Turkish sources could only trace back their whereabouts to learn that they were in good health. While composing this article, the diplomats were always missing.The storming of the Turkish Consulate in Mosul, the only diplomatic mission in the city, should have made headlines all over the world. Incredibly enough, the international media focused on other things: only providing limited and superficial coverage of the issue. NATO ambassadors have been convened by Turkey to brief the situation, but not much support has been extended from that side.The choice of Anders Fogh Rasmussen as NATO Secretary General, a nomination Turkey had vehemently opposed at the time, was openly an error, something evidenced by his latest stance. Prime Minister Erdoğan has had a phone conversation with U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden, the White House issued a declaration describing their "deep concern," but no other support has been extended from our other allies. There is a widely shared attitude of "letting Turkey doing its business alone in its backyard" among Turkey's allies.Such an awkward and biased analysis of the prevailing situation has been made possible because of two main reasons: the first reason is that both Syria and, to some degree, Iraq have turned in open warfare areas, it is very difficult to decipher the dynamics of existing armed forces and their alliances, nobody can see it clear in that quagmire. The second reason is the attitude of the Turkish media, where anything that could be used against the government is published and circulated, without any control. A huge number of hoaxes and unverifiable allegations are made available daily. The international media is definitely influenced by such an outburst of legends and atrocities. Everyone remains convinced that Turkey helps and arms military terrorist factions both in Syria and Iraq.Time and again, we have tried to explain that Turkey had to open its frontiers because it cannot afford to turn its back to the huge human tragedy that was happening just across the border. However, thinking that Turkey is capable of manipulating a terrorist military organisation chiefly made up of former officers and soldiers to Saddam denote a total refusal to see the reality of the region. There is a myriad of alien agents working for, among others, Iran and Russia, overtly and with total impunity, carrying out all the evil they can. It is a criminal irresponsibility to consider Turkey among such actors.There has been, though, some positive dynamics that have happened after the storming of the Consulate: Turkish political parties have rallied around a common understanding of the issue, which is a terrorist attack against a democratic regime. Secondly, Turkey's Kurdish peace process has emerged as the only positive and peaceful dynamic in this sorry region. There will certainly be more provocations like taking out the Turkish flag from the military base, but everything must be done to continue in the path of reconciliation. Ultimately, for all foreign analysts who were willing to see a new Pakistan or Libya in Turkey, this evolution has produced a very bitter denial. This biasness should be denounced clearly; Turkey is the only democratic regime of the region, as stated by the new President of Israel, Reuven Rivlin, who took 119 votes out of 120 in the Knesset.Turkey, alone, will not be able to stabilise and bring peace to this region. However, leaving Turkey alone to deal with this inhumane maelstrom will be detrimental to every democratic country. The price to pay by all our allies for inaction and absence of support could be very high.
