It is a shame when this happens, I think that they really did not think this through and research as much as possible, this probably would have been the same if they had gone to any other country, a holiday is one thing permanent living in Turkey is a total change of life style not suited to everyone. We have been very lucky and have more Turkish friends than British, and due to recent events they have been an absolute blessing to us.
