I taught English as a second language classes for adults for some time and had many Turkish students. Their warmth, kindness, and ever-present sense of humor (with a wonderful appreciation of sarcasm) has given me a soft spot for all things Turkish. I worry about some of my students, who may be back in Turkey now. I've been following this closely on twitter - which seems to be the best source for up to date info. But, of course, most of the tweets are in Turkish and Google translate has its limits. Thanks for the updates in English!

Yes, there are a lot of disparate ideas out there but in order to actually put them out there effectively, there has to be some sort of organization and discussion of those ideas and someone to put them forward.
