What did the Ottoman Empire bring to the peoples under its yoke other than massacres, oppression, and tyranny? Does anyone miss Ottomanism, providing a reason to deliver a New Ottomanism? And what does the zero problems with the neighbors policy mean? Does it mean that all neighbors should obediently do what Turkey wants them to do and satisfy Turkey's preconditions? There are probably neighbors for whom it is quite beneficial, but we are certainly not among them.
