Turkish troubles. (1 Viewer)

[GWAYGWAY]

I was wondering about the latest contrived coup that Erdegan has had in Turkey, It seems to be wonderfully efficient that he has managed the completely organised arrest of everybody he claims was in control of the 'coup' Thousands of all levels of society have been rounded up teachers, Army,civil service, Judiciary, and politicians of the opposing sides. plus everyone else that might just oppose HIM. All this was done inside a day??????
I am willing to bet now that Ford wish they had not transferred their Transit factory there as they have lost senior management and technical staff to the purge, The sweep is taking most of the secular and opposition from any form of position maybe to be replaced by the hard line muslim faction. We will see soon what has happened but I do smell the Russian hand behind it with the USA on the other hand sticking their bit in trying to keep the NATO alliance. I hope that all of the people there on holiday consider getting out before it blows right up.

I think mainland Europe has so much to offer Turkey is an unnecessary risk.

I'm currently in Turkey on my own and wasn't due to leave until early hours on Sunday. Have completed the sale of my land and after trawling the net I've got a flight home tonight for £ 27.99 plus £25 for my suitcase. Haven't been affected in any way down in Dalyan by the coup. More affected by low cost holidays demise with whom I booked the package. Flight was ok but transfer to/from hotel didnt have me on their list. Not sure if I will have to stand the cost of the hotel. The owners blissfully unaware that the agent had gone tits up. They told me they haven't been paid yet for clients that were here in May. Seems this is the norm.

AFIK you do get a similar (if not the same) protection if you pay by debit card. Probably worth a call to your bank when you get back..
