I am sure you have never been in Turkiye and do not know so much about Turkiye. Believe me comparing Turkiye Qatar is very boring country. I am coming from Antalya where you can swim in nice beaches with many nice clubs where the green forest starts at the end of beaches. And there are historical remains of old cities in those forests. And in Antalya you can swim and the day after you can climb to a mountain called saklikent (hidden city) make make skiing there. And as a scuba diver it has much richer under water life.
But Gulf area countries are also very lucky because you have oil. And we do not have so we both shall thank god for the things that he gave us.
For Ottoman Empire in the end it was in the past but you shall read a little bit history. Maybe Ottoman Empire was the only big empire that didn't rule countries with so much violence as much as the other empires were ruling in those old times. Think about what happened to indians, the natives of north America? How many of them were killed? What happened to the natives of Australia? How many aborigines left and living with their own culture as you can do now as the people of Arab countries? What happened to the whole nations of Inca and Aztec Empires? Do you have any idea how many people were killed in 16th century in Central America? Let me tell you 10 thousands of them were killed in violence. What happened in North/South African countries for their resources(and still in our time what is going on for diamond, oil and such resources in African countries, in Iraq, etc...) Do you have any idea how many people died in WW II for more earth, money, power; which we did not take place as Turks? Around 2 million or more? Most of the countries and nations have some stories like that. We shall not hate Germany because what Hitler and 1940s Germany caused. Or the other countries/nations I have mentioned above, for the things they have done in the past. Before blaming; you shall think and use your brain a little bit more ;)

Everyman dies; but not every men really lives.
