The U.S. embassy in Turkey announced Sunday that it has suspended all non-immigrant visa services to Turkish citizens “effective immediately.”

“Recent events have forced the United States government to reassess the commitment of the government of Turkey to the security of U.S. Mission facilities and personnel,” the embassy said in a statement.

What a shame, I was there only 4 years ago and everything was calm. That is until the President there went full-Muslim.

I spent two semesters there as a visiting professor. I liked the country, the people, and especially my students. Things there have really gone to hell in the last fifteen years.

Sultan Erdogan is moving Turkiye from the pro-Western secularism of Kemal Ataturk toward dark Anatolian Islam. Istanbul appears to be the only enclave in the country with a Europe-oriented population.

IMO if Erdogan thought he could get away with reopening Hagia Sophia as a mosque and closing the Ataturk mausoleum for indefinite repairs, he would do both.

And bring back the fez.
