I was in Turkey 79-80, USAF security police. Got daily briefing of these PPK aggressors towards the Turkish military. Since we were on a joint base with them..we were on alert also.
I have eaten at the restaurant and talked with him. Told him I was a vet and was stationed there.

I wonder, Paul46360, if we are neighbors. If 46360 is a zip code, then I imagine that you are just over the state line from me in Michigan City. My farm is in Berrien County, MI, though my full time residence is in Ann Arbor, MI.

Turkey is one of the more interesting places in the world. My work even now takes me there occasionally, but I do not presume to know anywhere near enough to render any informed judgments about anything, except to write that the Kurds have been so long-suffering, it seems, that were I in the place of that restaurant owner I strongly suspect that I too would oppose the Turks, the Iraqis, the Iranians, etc. I am pretty sure that I would not be a terrorist, but on the surface I find it quite unlikely that he was either.
