    The state coup in 2016 i guess. I know Marmaris is far away but if you step on a landmine or got hurt in some way within 10km of the Syrian border your travel insurance won't count. For us coming from pretty peaceful countries It feels a bit strange going there.

    Also because of the political situation in turkey, it's a land that put everyone they feel is against the dictator into jail without a trail or judgment.
    I'm really don't understand people that travel to turkey to vacation either, nor by an Apartment there. But money counts......

    That's my point. I don't believe that itīs really a security risk, but I think you shouldn't "support" undemocratic countries like this (same for China 2016). It has nothing to do with the country itself or the people (my girlfriend even has Turkish roots), itīs only the political situation with Erdogan (imprisonment of journalists, opposition members etc.).

    Well, there are reasons why people vote(d) for him, although it might be difficult for someone from a democratic European country to understand that. No apologize, but an explanation. What I want to say is that I don't reproach anyone from Turkey who voted for him. So yes, I do not have anything against the people themselves.

    But now let's move on and discuss about the rally, not the political situation in Turkey.

    This current so called democracy is too overrated. So I tend to agree with N. O. T. No more OT from me.
    Let's see how Turkey handles the WRC then we can judge and throw politics aside.

    I will be in Turkey. I've traveled to over 100 countries some of which are pretty sh!tty. Turkey is pretty mundane if you ask me.
    I will report back, but I will be Gazoo VIP, so it would be a privileged first world view of the rally, but I'll try my best to see it through the lens of a regular spectator while sipping champagne at the stages lol.
