Turkey’s Actions
* Turkish Consul General Oguz Celikkol’s concern over any “misleading portrayals” in The Times of his fellow upbeat Turks during their current “successful” trade expansion is thoroughly warranted (letter, Aug 28). Certainly incidental policy actions such as continued denial of the 1915 Armenian genocide, the relentless massacre of innocent Kurdistan villagers and, in August, brutally murdering peaceful demonstrators in Cyprus should show the world the honorable character behind Turkey’s hopes for “mutually beneficial” commercial, social and cultural relations within the Western countries.
