Others will not protect Turkey; some may even promote strife within its borders (historical examples of such tactics abound). Turkey alone can protect itself, and only by upholding truly democratic behavior at home and pursuing an external policy that promotes peace and democracy but does not take sides in the region’s ongoing battles, particularly between Sunni and Shia.
其他人不会保护土耳其；一些人甚至会挑拨离间（历史上充满了这些伎俩）。土耳其靠自力更生就能保护自己，而只有在国内建立真正的民主行为、与此同时追求推进和平和民主但不在中方兴未艾的中东战局（特别是逊尼派和什叶派之争）中站边的对外政策才能实现这一点。
