Chilling in Turkey and New Post (sort of)

Antalya, Turkey- I’m chilling on the central Turkish coast for a few days before a planned excursion to Iraqi “Southern” Kurdistan soon. I have an piece out in today’s Asia Times that is a reprint of a two-part Jamestown article from the past few weeks. Antalya is a major women-trafficking center and some readers may remember the beautiful seaside city being put in a macabre light in a disturbing Frontline episode three years ago called “Sex Slaves.” I’m staying down at the beach where a lot of the hotels cater to Russian and Ukrainian tourists as well as likely undesirables from said countries. But I don’t see any “Natashas” walking around, just families and young Turkish couples.
