Turks pooh-pooh `Mein Kampf’ popularity
Jewish Telegraphic Agency

A Turkish official downplayed the popularity of Hitler’s manifesto.
`There is no racism in the country,’ government spokesman Cemil Cicek
said Monday when asked to comment on news that `Mein Kampf’ has been one
of the top-10 best sellers in Turkey over the past two months, Reuters
reported. Observers say the popularity of the book, which outlines a
case for German nationalism in addition to its fierce anti-Semitism,
reflects rising nationalism in Turkey at a time when many Turks worry
that their country is making too many concessions to the West in a bid
to join the European Union.
