Just seen a documentary about the ongoing destruction of Archaological heritage by the Turkish government in Mesopotamia, SHOCKING...
for instance the 12.000 year old city of Hasankeyf will soon be submerged because of
yet another dam in the river Tigris...
And the international community does NOTHING to stop the Turks...
They destroy our Classical and ancient heritage and have been doing so since 1453...
Too strong a wording? Perhaps, but some of them should be taught some respect for ancient history one day. I know that near the coast they are proud of Ephesus, Troy, et cetera...Only because of the tourist trade, But in the back country they do what they want.
They already ruined Constantinople (I refuse to call that city by its later name) centuries ago...
Its a shame !
