Your math doesn't add up. Bookings down by 40% means that 40% of those people who would have gone to Turkey haven't for one reason or another. This is a huge loss to any countries economy.

As for your comments about the coasts being safe, ask those poor bds who went to Tunisia how safe their coast was.

Or the Russians flying back on that plane, from Sharm el Sheikh.

Absolutely - they've been supporting and facilitating that bunch of nutters in Syria by allowing them over the border (both directions), supplying them with weapons, laundering their stolen oil and bombing the Syrian Kurds who are fighting them.

Now, surprise surprise, it turns out to be a bad idea to foster a bunch of fundamentalist psychopaths. Who knows how much worse it can get as the fundamentalist ideology takes hold - still, thanks to Merkel, millions of Turks will soon have visa-free travel rights to Schengen EU countries so they have somewhere to flee to if it all goes pear-shaped.

All fair points but the dead haven't sowed anything - most of them have nothing to do with Ergodan's policies in Syria and Iraq.

Btw what do folks here thing about the argument below?

Why don't we stand with Turkey, like we did with Paris and Orlando?

Seeing a lot of similar views being expressed on social media.

Do these people have a point?

Or the people having a meal in Paris.

Or the people at a club in Orlando.

What on earth has any of that to do with Turkish coasts?
