Turkey tells citizens to reconsider travelling to US
ABC News

"Ankara is as safe as Washington, Istanbul is as safe as New York," Yildirim said.

They used to be very safe.  Now they are only safe if you are a muslim male and not wearing a suicide vest.

That said, we met a Turkish woman, she was very Westernized. In spite of everything, from what I can tell, there are still, a lot of people like that there.

There's probably a lot of Turks that went to fight for ISIS too, and I was just reading about it at Middle Eastern Eye.
