Arab world's view
about Turkey has shifted significantly after a chain of developments that
started with Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's criticism against Israel President
Simon Peres at World Economic Forum in Davos in 2009.
Turkey's image
gained more strength in the Arab
world during the stand-off between Turkey and Israel following Israeli
soldiers' attack on Mavi Marmara flotilla that carries humanitarian aid to Gaza
in 2010. Prime Minister Erdogan's and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's harsh
comments targeting Israel echoed largely in Arab streets and it raised the
interest in Turkey significantly.
According to Ufuk Sanli of Vatan daily these
developments also increased the interest in Turkish institutions as well. In
order to meet such a demand Turkish intelligence agency MIT has begun to
prepare Arabic version of its official website www.mit.gov.tr to
provide a thorough information hub with Arab speakers. Sources close to the
secret service confirmed the project was about to complete.
Russian version
also on the agenda
Intelligence
service aims to make its official website, which receives 120,000 visitors per
month on average, more effective. In order to reach more people the agency is
planning to put more languages in service. Within this framework, a Russian
version is on the agenda. Once it becomes active MIT will have a unique
position among world's intelligence services. It will be the agency that has
the highest number of languages among the services that are active on Internet. In 2010, 1.04
million people visited MIT's website. Number of visitors increased by 30
percent last year reaching 1.39 million. (Vatan,
