  But Dr. Emre Erdogan, a political scientist and partner of Infakto Research Workshop, a major polling firm based in Istanbul, says Turkish views of the United States have deteriorated largely because of security concerns, not religious ones.
  
  "This sudden and rapid decrease in positive attitudes towards the US is an outcome of the invasion [of Iraq]," Erdogan said, adding that polls in Turkey show that the public thinks that the invasion has "led to increasing terrorist threats toward Turkey."
  
  "Turkish public opinion perceives the US as the worst enemy of Turkey as a result of the intensifying terrorist activities of the PKK," he said, using the acronym for the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which has been fighting for autonomy in southeast Turkey since 1984.
  
  According to Erdogan, Turks believe that separatist guerrillas operating out of bases in Iraq's northern mountains have grown stronger since the fall of Saddam Hussein and Turkish media frequently air evidence of alleged US collaboration with the PKK.
  ...
  "Consequently, this intolerance and antipathy towards the PKK become converted to the perception of the US as the major enemy of the country," Erdogan said.
  ...
  Erdogan says that until recently even Turks who disliked the US government tended to appreciate Americans and their culture.Now he sees an "emerging antipathy towards the Americans and the US life style."
  
  "Our previous research [indicated] that the climate of Turkish public opinion was ‘anti-Bushism' rather than ‘anti-Americanism," he said."Nevertheless, recent findings indicate a change of the climate towards anti-Americanism."

  Dr. Emre Erdogan, a political scientist and founding partner of Infakto Research Workshop, says that this is "a result of intensifying terrorist activities of the PKK" - an armed militant group founded in the 1970s also known as the Kurdistan Workers Party - which has found increasing support since the Iraq war began.
  
  The Turkish people "perceive the US as responsible for the worsening situation," said Erdogan in a World Public Opinion (WPO)/Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) analysis of the Pew results.
  
  The "increasing terrorist and political activity of the PKK" is seen to be "under direct supervision of the Northern Iraq Administration and the US," and the Turkish media "continuously present evidence for this [US-PKK] collaboration," said Erdogan.
  
  According to a 2005 Infakto poll, 71 percent of Turks think that "the West has helped separatist groups in Turkey gain strength," and a Pew 2007 survey found that 79 percent of Turks oppose "US-led efforts to fight terrorism".
  
  "[T]his intolerance and antipathy towards the PKK became converted to the perception of the US as the major enemy of the country," Erdogan said.
  ...
  Erdogan commented that, before, Turks might dislike the US government but they still appreciated its culture, whereas now there is an "emerging antipathy" towards US citizens and their life style, with 77 percent saying they held unfavorable views of US citizens.
