For its latest report, Eurobarometer has interviewed more than 30.000 people in the EU member states and the candidate countries, including Turkey.
In the report, "Trust for the National Institutions" section is especially interesting. According to the findings, the most trusted national army of Europe is the Finnish Armed Forces (90 percent).
Guess who's the second AND the third?
81 percent of Turkish Cypriots and 77 percent of the people of Turkey trust in Turkey's Armed Forces. Double check!
It is equally interesting that 51 percent of the same Turkish people trust in their government as well (EU average is only 29 percent).
And it may be even more interesting that 65 percent of Turks have confidence for the judiciary, too (EU average is only 43 percent).
I'm as confused as any Turk, so I won't make any comments on these findings...
