Reader comment on item: Goodbye Ankara
Submitted by Hudsol (Australia), Sep 3, 2011 at 20:14
This reaction is not of any suprise, surely we all have seen this coming over the last few years. It will only get worse for Turkey. The Military has been replaced with more compliant Chiefs so really this is the slide down hill..
