Hello, all. I am brand new to this forum and just figuring my way around, though I have followed all three threads avidly for weeks now. Seems like a good crowd here, and glad to make your acquaintances!
I speak/read a few languages (not Turkish) and read a lot of foreign press accounts, especially French ones, and just wanted to mention that yesterday I found a French news article mentioning that three Armenian women had been attacked (not sure if killed, but attacked) in the same area Sarai went missing, in recent weeks. The French press was going on about how Turkey wouldn't necessarily consider three Armenian women gone missing being a big deal (internal politics), but a murdered American woman could seriously harm the Turkish tourism industry, not to mention Turkish-American relations. I have no idea, really, though I live in Europe part-time, and have traveled there extensively (though not much to Turkey), whether I place any credence on the French point of view, but I will say that it was the first mention I'd heard of three other recent attacks in the very same area.
I will try to find a link and post it, in case any of you speak French (or I can translate it), but as I said I am new as f a half-hour ago to this forum and floundering a bit with the technicalities.
