Neighbourhoods

In international relations, I do find neighbourhood an important
concept. I value it. I think Turkey should get along with its
neighbours. But those of us who live in big cities should be glad, in
contrast to small-town dwellers, that we are rid of our neighbours. Of
course, from time to time we knock on our neighbour's door when we run
out of coffee and ask to borrow some. As pleasant as this might be, it
also means opening our door to the control mechanisms of society.
