Thanks for the article. I did not know that bird flu had occurred in Turkey in October. Very interesting. Do you have a link to that information? I am following bird flu carefully, as you can see if you visit my blog, The Tao of Politics. I feel very bad for the Turkish people during this time of illness. Sincerely, Ed
If you search the October archive of this blog, you can find several articles about bird flu in Turkey.
For instance: http://turkishdiary.blogspot.com/2005/10/turkey-romania-slaughter-poultry.html, http://turkishdiary.blogspot.com/2005/10/erdoganthere-is-no-single-bird-flu.html, http://turkishdiary.blogspot.com/2005/10/nationwide-measures-taken-across.html etc.
There is also a weird story: Sunday Times reports birds flu thieves in Turkey.
What journalists don't say, is that it's the Kurdish people who are living this tragedy.
Thank you for you comment.
Yeah, there are a couple of videos I posted on my blog. They help bring home the starkness and seriousness of what they are going through over there.
