I think many people want turkey to host the olympics as it is a country that can provide a bridge between the western and arab world. Turkey, a country in which Islam is the dominant relgion, would be the first muslim country to ever host the olympics, a significant moment in history. Turkey itself wants to use the olympics to showcase that an islam country can be succesful. Turkey should also host the olympics because it will allow the games to be branched out to different areas in the world, and not for the games to be traded amoung the dominant powers, for example, the IOC have told the USA they will not be getting the games in a long time. (2012 will be Londons 3rd games, Paris have said they will bid until they get the games, ) So with turkey hosting it will allow for new areas of the world to host

Turkey is NOT a 4th world country (ELDC). It is a developing country. I am from turkey and I an not economically less developed. I am a normal person as others in the globe.
According to CIA world fact book it's a developed country.
No. The turkey came from the New World. The fact that the country "Turkey" and the fowl "turkey" is the same word is merely coincidental.
Why Turkey is a secular state with no official state religion?
Turkey is the 37th biggest country in the world, so yes it is big
No its not 3rd world country, turkey has had many political problems but in the past 20 years the country has improved itself in many ways. i have lived in many European countries as well as turkey and i confidently can say turkey is just as nice as Europe. the only difference between Europe and turkey are the mosques . you see mosques all over turkey, woman with scarf is same as Germany :)
