Title: In Turkey non-Turks are always wasted by the Turks
Review: The review just above refers to the author's statement that "in Turkey nothing is wasted." How can this be said of a country and culture which masscared 1.5 million Armenians giving a 20th century meaning to the words genocide and holocaust? And how can we regard the destruction of 3,000+ Kurdish villages in Turkey as an attempt to save (rather than waste) something? Sure, go there as a tourist and you will be shown what remains of the Greek, Roman and Byzantine treasures. But you will not be able to see the traesures that were wasted over the centuries and the Byzantine mossaics that were covered up with stucco (wasted) in the great church of Haghia Sophia (Divine Wisdom)in Istanbul. Turkey has wasted much of its Greek, Armenian and Kurdish heritage. The fact that so much still remains is a monument to the creativity and energy of those preceding cultures which inhabited the land mass now called Turkey.
Is the review positive or negative?
