Ταξιδιωτική οδηγία προς τους Άγγλους τουρίστες που βρίσκονται ή πρόκειται να ταξιδέψουν στην Τουρκία να αποφύγουν τις περιοχές των διαδηλώσεων εξέδωσε χθες το αγγλικό υπουργείο Εξωτερικών.
Πρόκειται για μια πολύ σημαντική εξέλιξη και τα όσα θα ακολουθήσουν τις επόμενες ώρες και ημέρες θα καθορίσουν την πορεία του Τουρισμού στην ευρύτερη περιοχή της Νοτιοανατολικής Μεσογείου.

Protests in Turkey lead to new travel advice
The Foreign Office is warning British travellers to Turkey to keep clear of demonstrations following a weekend of protests. Anti-government demonstrations in 67 towns and cities across Turkey have led to more than 1,700 arrests. The worse affected cities were Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir. Police used tear gas and water cannons in a bid to control the crowds of protestors. According to a doctor's association, 450 protesters have been treated in hospitals in Istanbul since Friday. Updating its travel advice yesterday, The Foreign & Commonwelath Office said: "Following recent demonstrations in Istanbul and other cities in Turkey in which police used tear gas and water cannons, the possibility of further demonstrations remains high. "We advise British nationals to avoid all demonstrations." The Islamist-rooted Turkish government last month passed a bill creating far-reaching restrictions on alcohol, and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has publicly stated that women should have at least three children.

ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήIn 2001, Greece dropped the drachma for the euro. The drachma was good enough for Aristotle and very good for tourism, Greece's main industry. But when sun-and-fun was re-priced in euros, tourists swam across the Aegean Sea for kofte meatballs priced in dirt-cheap Turkish lira. Pre-euro tourist visits to Greece outnumbered those to Turkey by millions; but by last year, it was the just the opposite, with two-thirds of tourists tanning in Turkey.
With its Treasury bleeding hard currency, the government of Minister Pangalos' PASOK joined together with the opposition in a complex international currency kiting operation to conceal the losses from the public and, most importantly, from the European Central Bank.
Why the cover-up of the deficit? The answer is that the euro is more than a currency: it is a straitjacket, a set of constricting rules that, for example, prohibit any euro nation from running a deficit of more than 3 percent of GDP.
That's impossible in a recession – not to mention plain insane – as it requires cutting public spending when spending is needed most. The USA, China, Brazil, India – the nations that pulled the world from depression's brink – all ran deficits way over the nutty 3 percent cap. I asked finance wiz Nomi Prins to calculate America's debt-to-GDP ratio using euro rules, and she estimates that Obama's deficits are now way down from recession's peak – to 10.2 percent of GDP.
Greece, fearing expulsion from the euro loony bin, turned to Goldman Sachs. For a mere $400 million in fees, plus golden sacks of ill-gotten trading gain, the investment bank was willing to cook the nation's books via a complex set of derivatives transactions. [For the particulars of the derivatives con, see How Goldman Sacked Greece.]
Since the con was busted open in 2009, the Greek public has had to pay cheated bondholders a premium to insure against default of the nation's debts. The credit default insurance costs an average of $14,000 (£9,218) per family per year.
γιατί μας τα έχετε φουσκώσει με το πόσο καλή είναι η Τουρκία αλλά κανείς δεν μιλάει για το ευρώ που διαλύει λαούς εν ψυχρω.
