Mark,
Pls stop yr senseless theories and suggestions from 20.000 nm away basing on yr couple of years of turkish experience, I don't know how many years ago. Terrorising the cruisers doen't make any good to any of us, but to terrorists.
I know this is not the most appropriate place to discuss about politics but I have to give some facts:
1-the last
events have nothing to do with terrorosm like the one in Nice.
2-Neither in Nice or in Turkey there were not a
single crusiers who were affected, unless some cruisers in Nice were gathering in land to watch the "14 Juillet" activities.
3-the authors of this attempt of "coup d'état" were extra righest like Mr Erdogan protected for years by himself and thanks to him had obtained a
power in justice, buraucracy and finally in the army. When Mr Erdogan has realised that they were having more power than himself and his party, he started to cut them off. The answer of this group headed by Mr Fetullah under the shelter of CIA in Pennysilvania was to disclose all the dirthy affairs , private telephone conversations,
money traffic, etc..that Mr Erdogan, his ministers and even his
family was involved. Mr Erdogan was planning to send to
retirement many generals in
retirement shortly.
4-It's a shame for a country lilke Turkey to be in this kind of situation, but unfortunately that's the truth and Mr Erdogan has still the support of 50% of turkish voters.
5-Again, all this has nothing to do with cruising and cruisiers of any nationalities. There hasn't been any terrorist attack of any of the cruising area of Turkey.
6-Regarding the terrorism actions, unfortunaterly this is hapening everywhere and is likely to be this in the foreseable future as long as ISIL is not .
7-Said this, it's true that Turkey (6 th in the world as a touristic income) has had substabtial losses because of terrorim after the terrosit attacks in various part of the country, the conflict in Syria. Turkey is now trying to re-establish the relation with
Russia (just second to
Germany in terms of visitors) and
Israel, but this year is
lost anyway.
Regarding
Greece, they too unfortunately were heavily impacted by this kind of negative publications, Dodocanese in particular and all the islands are deserted. The cruisers have had a fear to sail these areas as it was known to be under the invasion of refugees which is not the case at all this year. In short, both Turkey and
Greece are free of any risk for cruisiers as the rest of the
Med. Anyone who needs to be 100 % safe can stay at home, I will continue cruisinhg.
Anyone who needs more specific info on the matter can PM me.
Cheers
Yeloya
