Dear Turkish
Airlines
|
|
|
Reference
your letter dated 10th May.
I will be flying with your
airline to Turkey in a couple of months, but before I visit your country I
would be grateful if you could help me with a little
query.
Geography has never been my strong suit and when I
looked up Turkey on the map I was quite alarmed to discover just how near it is
to Kurdistan, and I'm sure I've no need to tell you that this is where Saddam
Hussein and his cut-throats are currently waging war with the local populace.
Personally I think that the Iraqis should let the Kurds have their whey - a
little joke there - but that's another matter.
The thing
is, Kurdistan is far too close to Turkey for my liking, and just in case Saddam
tries to enlarge his little empire at your expense while I'm over there I am
considering bringing my shotgun along to protect myself with, should the need
arise. Would this be in order? If not, is it possible to buy a decent firearm
in Turkey? I am told that the Turks will try to sell anything to tourists - in
fact a friend of mine told me he had bought a hooker in a tobacco shop in
Bodrum. However I won't be bothering myself because I have never had to pay for
sex in my life and I don't intend starting now. But does the Turks overpowering
desire to sell things to tourists extend to firearms?
I
look forward to hearing from you.

Yours
sincerely
T Ravenscroft (Mr)
