Yogi,The answer to your question is yes, I live in Turkiye,
Did you not have a 'She' Prime Minister, !!
Her words."You turn if you want to,this lady's not for turning",She kept qouting a poem by st francis of assisi."where there is darkness let there be light,where there is misery let there be hope,
Yogi,I know nothing about Turkish politics or politicians,
What Do I Know? Foreigner's are aways more than welcome in Turkiye,
