I went to grammar school at the top of a steep hill within sight of Rumeli Hisar in the 50s and lived in Nisantas by the hospital(Istanbul). American children were golden, then. I could go anywhere my legs would carry me and if I looked out of place or lost a taxi driver or soldier would find a phone and call the consulate to ask where the American kid belonged, then I would get a ride home. A piece of countryside intruded into the city at three blocks from home and I went down there a couple of times and was invited in for lunch by a shepherd family in a house that looked to me like a large pile of tarpaper and sticks.
Yeah...those Americnas are much loved for not lifting a finger to help save a few Christians that were slaughtered in the parastate of Turkey
Teddy Roosevelt said in 1922: “...the greatest regret that I have as I look back on my administration is the fact that when the awful Adana massacre occurred, this government did not take steps against the outrage on civilization!”
He was referring to the barbarous Turks of course.
