US embassy cable - 04ANKARA5767

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

2.  Please note that many Turkish businesses and/or GOT

also during the entire month of August.  Blue Lantern end use 
checks that would require travel to eastern Turkey or other 
remote areas, particularly during the winter, are likely to 
lengthen the overall time-frame of the check.
