In recent weeks, White House leadership in Washington DC, USA, decided to 'recognize' Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The whole subject of 'recognizing' different regions with respect to others in the framework of Falesteen, Palestine, Israel, the Holy Land, what you may call it as appropriate, can be a switch once flipped, that could incite intense reactions to all parties affected.
In the past 10 hours thereabout, there have been a flurry of stories published in English language websites saying that Erdogan, President of Turkey, is intent on setting a Turkish embassy in East Jerusalem. On the prima facie, when left at that, a closer look to what is actually going on could increase the understanding of it.
In brief history, Turkey has been an ally to the United States, largely and generally, even though there have been some awkward moments here and there.
News stories left at, 'Turkey opening embassy in Jerusalem', does not mirror the U.S. move to open an embassy in Jerusalem, in all aspects, pertinently one critical aspect, which is, the Turkey embassy in Jerusalem has underlying rationale to recognize Jerusalem as capital of Palestine {Falesteen in regional tongue}, in contrast of recognizing Jerusalem as capital of Israel such as and whereat the U.S. government seat decision.
Organization of Islamic Cooperation meeting held in past few days which drew dozens of representatives, matter of Jerusalem and referent recognition discussed.
