I know these history in details but i don't understand what part of my post you are disputing.
And i think you misunderstood my comment. Growing spine is not meant to be in sense of national entity. ( which turkey has better than any other muslim country ) but in the sense of greater geopolitical struggle and in term of great power competition. ( in a broader sense, Turkey took a relatively independent foreign policy only for the last one or two decade.)
And I think, i have more than enough respect for turkey and its people. you don't have to be to nationalistic about it ( fun fact, personally I have a deep and strong turkic ancestry in my veins. However, that's not the reason for my respect. I don't think pan ethnicity is a good idea in 21th century ) And Yes, one of the important attributes of turkey that, it is the only country in muslim world that never been colonized physically. Probably only three major countries in the world has that privilege. UK russia and turkey. And to understand the significance of the implications of that privilege, one only has to look at other two countries.
The uk was basically the forehead of the English speaking world in 18th and 19th century and world biggest superpower and relatively at a large extent the the center of the western civilization and still is one the few core of west. And in case of russia. Until the 1990 it was the world second superpower and the center of the independent civilization. ( Even though they lost but never the less they rivaled the west for sometimes. )
So in that sense. no wonder how much significant turkey hold among muslim country. Hundred years ago turkey was center of islamic civilization. And it is the only country in the muslim world that were able to survive the destruction of colonization. Every other muslim nations were havoced in socio-cultural and socio economical domain. So it is not surprising at all that, everybody will be looking for a 'turkish model'. Everybody will want partnership and cooperation with turkey in technology economy and trade. I don't know if you find it problematic, but I think it's very natural. WITH GREATER POWER COMES GREATER RESPONSIBILITY. And it is equally true for everybody regardless of every nation.
You said bangladesh has population of 170 million and then concluded what we should ect, ect. You are comparing bangladesh in reference to what ? Turkey ? It is true that, bangladesh has twice of turkish population but our is half of the turkish gdp. But this kind of straight forward comparison is tremendously flawed because it doesn't take into account the historical context of the compared countries.
For example, in the same logic it can be argued 'turkey should have on per with germany in term of economy and technology when it has similar population size and bigger land mass and relatively more natural resources than germany and most importantly unlike germany it wasn't havoced by world war two. But turkish economy only one fifth of german one. Or it can be said turkey has nearly twice the population of south Korea but it's ecomony less than of of Korean economy despite the fact korea was havoced by japanese invasion prior world war ii and later by the korean war. These are all dumb comparison because it doesn't take everything into account.
But if we wanna have a fair comparison between turkey and Bangladesh it will look like that. Firstly, Geographically turkey has much bigger landscape and much more natural resources than bangladesh. Now, let's talk about last hundred year. After world War I and turkish independent war for nearly last hundred years turkey had relative stability no war on its soil and probably had only one major natural disaster ( 1939 Erizincan earthquake with 32000 casualties ) and in last 70 years around 100k people died in earthquakes in turkey.
and what happened with bangladesh? World war one.
Than in world war ii, 1. bangladesh was the near Frontline against brutal japanese. And that's wasn't enough already.
2. British created bengal femine at the same time which killed 4 to 5 million bengali.
3. And then the subcontinent independent.
4. And then 1965 war.
5. And then 1970 world most deadliest cyclone in history left nearly one milion Bangladeshi dead.
6. And then 1971 independent war which killed another million.
And then 1974 femine which killed another million.
7. And then in 1990 world second deadliest cyclone.
And these are just human casualties forget about the properties that has been lost! Every renowned economist and the experts in the world were dead sure bangladesh won't survive as a nation. It is simply not possible after everything that happened. it just going to collapse. And that's what they said that time over and over again.
You see, probably no other nation in the world faced what we faced in last 75 years And yet here we are in 2021
last but not the least where did you find the idea that I am expecting turks to do all the fighting and dying? Did bangladesh told turkey to intervene in syria and libya? No! Turkey did its own for its own interests. And please don't pretend that turkey is the only who do all the fighting for good. Why do you think bangladesh has the 1st place in UN peacekeeping mission? There are way more larger nations are larger and powerful military out there! And yet by and large we have the most contributions. Over the decades In africa bangladesh peacekeepers at least by and large prevented two wars which could have killed hundreds of thousands of africans. At least, in syria and libya turkey has major geopolitical interests along with the humanitarian causes but what interest we have in africa ?
So I think you can have some respect for us too.
