A gift for the Turkey hating parts of the UK press.

not sure how to take your post Scunner. Since 1996 we have visited twice, sometimes thrice with our extended family. For a number of years I brought parties of Brits to Turkey. The quote reads "no European in any part of the world can walk safely on the streets". That doesn't even qualify as a thinly veiled threat and we have two hols booked in Turkey this year. If we are to be unsafe in any part of the world then Turkey would seem to be the LEAST SAFE.

We agree on one thing, I have no idea what you mean either...

[Clioman2]

We do not agree at all. The gift came from the man himself via a non-uk source.

[Scunner]

Oh did it

The point is, the President of a country popular with British holidaymakers says Europeans will not be safe anywhere.

Can you imagine what Turkey hating papers like the Daily Mail could do with this?

Sorry, I can't make my point any more bleeding obvious than this.

Safe in London?

I suppose the difference is our PM/Head of State isn't telling Asians they better change their attitude or their citizens willl be in danger.
