GOREME. TURKEY

I am deeply sadden by the recent terrorist attack at Istanbul Airport. This has inspire me to tell you how kind, TOLERANT, open minded the Turkish people are. They too are victims like the rest of us. 25% of their employment relies on the tourism sector. But their tourist numbers has taken a nosedive within the year from 30 to 5 million. Many factors have contributed this. Their neighbor Russian government has placed an embargo on their commercial airlines to fly into Turkey, and the Syrian, Iraqi, and Afghanistan refugees flooding in by the millions is scaring off the international tourists. Turkey is in a very fragile state at no fault of their own. They need all of our help. Do not allow fear and your government and media manipulation deter you from visiting Turkey. Turkey is a beautiful country with warm hospitality and has a lot to offer.
