The turks are now enjoying their cheese Kurds now. >>
Ari Onassis was an interesting person. If you remember he saved his father
by bargaining with one of the Turkish commanders. I never thought much of
people who just made a lot of money, because if you are ruthless and lucky,
it's pretty much possible, but Onassis should be respected for the way he
saved his father.
To understand about the Greeks in Istanbul and Izmir, you must read a little
history. Greeks and Orthodox they were, but they were considered citizens of
Turkey. There is only one crime that the Turks truly cannot forgive. That
is treason. The British were advancing, and the Greeks were more than
pleased and were flying the British flag. We all know the results. As for
the Kurds. They are a wonderful people (or at least the ones I knew were).
They want their own country. Everyone understands that, and they will
struggle forever to get it. But just for now they are Turks, and if you want
to see how Turkish they can become, scratch them with a Greek.
As for the food, those who do not like Greek/Turkish food are welcome to
their opinion. I happen to like it very much. I also like Chinese, Japanese
and Korean food. In fact I can't think right off of a country that doesn't
have some food, I would love to have for dinner. I also can't think right
off of a country that doesn't have some food I never want to eat again. We
all have our prejudices. Prudy
