We have been asked, by the baskan, in the past what the Brits want in Uzumlu. The answers were given to the Baskan and he fluffed around, gave excuses and basicly did absolutely nothing!:(
If you want to know more about the original requests/ideas please get in touch and I can forward them onto you.
I wish you luck in your meeting with him but I do not hold much hope of any help or interest from him as far as the expat community is concerned apart from taking our taxes.
A prime example are the new roads, laid in March and April, which in the majority of cases stopped short of any expat homes...we don't have a vote so why bother giving us decent roads?
Any help would be gratefully received if you really think you can acheive anything, but I would have to ask how you could influence the Belidiere?
