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.

She said the airline had also suspended flights within Turkey to Mardin, Sanliurfa, and Gaziantep, because flights to these cities were not permitted by the Prime Ministry's Crisis Center. Ozturk said the suspension of the flights within Turkey had nothing to do with the reported U.S. missile that had landed in southeastern Turkey, as had been rumored. (Note: These cancellations track with THY's pre-operation planning, as reported reftels). PEARSON
