Texted with my ex he’s in Izmir and said he’d call he can’t text anything now. Or you’ll walk out your door and be scooped up. It’s really bad right now. I worry for him.
This is so sad. I have worked in Turkey and holidayed that for years. Such good people, so much history. All ruined by a mini-Putin and religion. All about total control. Like Iran

I couldn’t locate this until now!

The optimism that you describe gives me some hope. But right now it certainly can’t be easy to be a Turk. Or a citizen anywhere.
Thank you for this update. All of this is happening in the context of a nation that still fails to acknowledge its attempt at genocide of Armenians.
