The Arab revolutions, following on the European Union’s resounding “No, Yes, But” to Turkey’s membership bid, have reinforced among Turks the attraction of the Orient while liberating their mix of nationalistic and religious impulses. Indeed, Erdoğan makes more references to God in his public statements nowadays than he ever did in the past.
欧盟对土耳其成员国资格的“拒绝、同意、但是”言犹在耳，阿拉伯革命又再次增强了土耳其人心目中东方的吸引力，并释放了他们心中的民族主义和宗教冲动。实际上，埃尔多安目前在公开讲话中比以往更多的谈到上帝。
