Are you saying 1970's Lebanon is current USA ? (peaceful, tolerent?, multi-religious, financial capital for sure. Don't know Lebanon ever was financial capital, atleast it was playground for Arabs)

No, it was very much like Turkey, seen as a safe, secular government haven in the Middle East. For year's Turkey has been that same kind of place and we can only hope it goes back instead of following the current path.

Yeah. Understood your post. I was little confused about @zdreg post about accidental hidden message.

Regarding Turkey, I doubt it will ever go back to its secular roots after its president has pretty much acquired dictatorial powers and has destroyed institutions

I have him blocked so I don't see his messages, sometimes leads to non-sequitur to those of you seeing everything!

Damn shame, it's actually on my list of places to visit and I'm seriously considering moving my trip up to this next summer so we can see it before it devolves any more.

Turkey is a wonderful country. Of all the places I have been to, it was my favorite. The culture and the history are one of the oldest in the world.

We flew into Instanbul and then Izmir and drove to Capadocia.

If you want any advice, I would be happy to share over PM.

in a contract, imagine all the blank spaces for the amount of turkish lira until the last moment or similar method. politicians will rarely take action which requires short term pain for long term gain.
