NATO Torture (!)

From the right-wing daily, TURKIYE:

NATO TORTURE
When the arteries in Turkish capital Ankara were closed to traffic due to U.S. President George Bush's visit, transportation was paralyzed. Many streets in Istanbul were also closed to traffic while many events have been cancelled. Some passengers missed the plane as traffic was paralyzed due to police control at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport.

...And an American friend of mine, Julie, is coming to Istanbul. I have planned a 4-day trip plan despite many limitations. As Prof Ugur told a group of visiting Greeks yesterday, these days are the worst days in the century to visit the city. Anyway, i am still hopeful:)
