Waiting for the Karma Truck 
We have a cancer center in Instanbul and have been concerned for some time. Thanks Mimi for the reblog. Bill
I would imagine this doesn’t help assuage those concerns Bill – I wish it did.
No, it doesn’t, but this part of the world is so unpredictable and has some many health care needs. Thanks again Mimi.
I heard a report about this situation on NPR yesterday–very, very disturbing. Turkey has done an admirable job of walking the “secular line” for many years in a region that can be so volatile. I hope that things improve, and soon…. Thx for sharing this Mimi…
These increasing levels of unrest and dissatisfaction strike my core. The frustration so palpable and the lengths the government will go to mute their voices…
Wow! RB at http://villageundertaker.wordpress.com/2013/06/04/read-this/
indeed
Thanks for sharing this, Mimi.
My pleasure (and admittedly my dismay)- I can take no credit for its contents. Just forwarding it along.
Thank you Mimi, for posting this for us…
I was so touched by the candor that comes from actually ‘seeing’ before reporting out, you know?
I found this interesting thanks for reblogging it
You’re welcome Joanne..hope all is well with you and yours.
This is tragic. Turkey, in particular Istanbul, has long been regarded as the beacon of hope in the Mideast. A place where people of many faiths not only lived together, but prospered. Very sad, indeed.
I found it very sad as well..It is interesting to speak with some of my friends from Turkey who live here now and have family there. They have been so proud of their country’s ability to sustain a cultural neutrality in spite of the extremism all around them.
Yes, I think the words from your poster reflected the sadness in seeing a bit of this tolerance leave.
Thank you for reblogging and enabling us. We too share across…
Tragic goings on in Turkey under a hubristic leader backed by a brutal police force. Another revolution in a turbulent region is about to begin.
Couldn’t agree with you more Alex
This i s a great reblog. I appreciate getting that news as have not heard a whisper.
I’m so glad it was informative for you!!
Where have you been, Mimi?
Just lying low Fran – all is ok. My get up and go, sort of got up and went…I’ll be back this week. hugs, m
