In recent days, the news from Turkey seems to be producing the wrong kind of headlines.
- Bombings in Ankara, Istanbul, and Diyarbakir
- Attacks on personal freedoms and freedom of the press
- Threats against minorities and their properties
- Dark tales of loss of refugee life and abuse of displaced peoples
In light of news like this, what should our response be? Many countries have begun issuing travel advisories, telling their citizens to stay home. Parts of the city, which were once crowded with tourists are now empty except for small groups and a high police presence. Sharp declines have occurred in visitors from Europe, Russia and the United States. Many cruise lines have cancelled their stops in the ports of Turkey.
