Read Orham Pamuk. A wonderful writer. "My Name is Red", most of "Snow". Travelled there with my youngest son to Istanbul a couple of years ago and it was a great trip with very friendly Turks eager to converse and make me feel welcomed. Never thought I would go to Turkey as my Lebanese grandfather had killed a Turkish soldier during the Ottoman Empire and left for America plus the cruel image of Turks in history and films. But people are people, afterall. However, no more "smoking like a Turk" I read as your government leader sounds like Mayor Bloomberg of NY,NY. Very handsome men and women. Well behaved in public. The trams are too crowded. :-) Amazed to find how large a part apparel plays in their exports- never saw so many clothing/designer shops in my life! Tons of Russian shoppers.
