Great and meticulous job! Thank you so much. I enjoyed working for Turkiye from 1973-1975 and all the fresh food there. Thank you for your service. Warmest regards, Casey, Arizona, USA
My sincerest condolences to yourself and the people of Turkey for the staggering loss of lives in the recent earthquakes. Turkey is a great nation, and will recover materially. But, so many souls lost are unrecoverable.
