Foreign policy magazine hails Davutoglu as a modern-day kissinger

In its current issue, Foreign Policy magazine hails Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu as one of four modern-day Kissingers, referring to Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, one of the 20th century's most important diplomats. "A keen student of history, the brash and outspoken Davutoglu believes in restoring Turkey's Ottoman glories so that Turkey once again carries weight in the Middle East," said the magazine. "Under his guidance, Turkey has strengthened its ties with Arab governments and sought to play the role of mediator in Arab-Israeli conflicts."
