    GUILTY Turkey - Sarai Sierra, 33, NY woman murdered, Istanbul, 21 Jan 2013 - #5

    I seriously doubt we will ever know much of that day, except that it was Sarai's last. To experience Istanbul was her first wish in exploring a different culture and it also turned out to be her last. Yet, we couldn't even completely grant that. For me, that irony made her case even sadder...

    Very very OT, but you just wrote Istambul instead of Istanbul. That is so cool. When speaking fast, people, or native people of Istanbul, pronounce it as 'stambul. Kind of with a silent I in the beginning of the word. It was originally used when referring to the Old City, their best...

    It's only in the movies. No matter how good they speak Turkish, I can always tell a foreigner and sometimes their nationality too. I can even tell what they had for lunch, of course not solely based on their accents. ...

    Is it really true? Because before I wrote the message I did check the Military Act, which came into force in 1927 and went through several revisions (with last one being May 22, 2012). (In fact I had initially checked it for age limits). http://www.asal.msb.gov.tr/kanun/1111_As.Kanunu.pdf...

    "where they are sent"? figuratively speaking yes. allocation of conscripts to units are completely random. any illiterate private can end up anywhere. and the commanding officer of any platoon can ask an officer (NCO) to teach the illiterate privates how to read and write. it's not...

    There is, Alpmighty. We should be careful when answering these questions about Turkey because sometime I get this weird feeling that there are members among us who are actually reading other members' posts. They won't let a 85-year old guy in the army. 40 is the last age for training...

    And you couldn't remember the latest age for the military service? Couldn't remember? ThinkHard, why on earth did you even need to learn that in the first place? You are really scaring me. Sometimes you sound like the Temperance "Bones" character that Emily Deschanel plays in Bones. Unless...

    So, you mean they asked Z to bring SS to them by force. That's more likely. So, I am guessing that Z wasn't announced as the major suspect when he was in Karabük. If he was, that'll make everyone who talked to him some sort of accomplice. And he still tells his friends about the murder and...

    GUILTY Turkey - Sarai Sierra, 33, NY woman murdered, Istanbul, 21 Jan 2013 - #5

    Yes, but first of all Z is really no Brad Pitt. Luring SS inside the walls would be just asking too much from him. Secondly, what you're saying is exactly what I'm saying. The moment you can guess a professional's behavior, you should be expecting him/her to have done the opposite. And he/she...

    GUILTY Turkey - Sarai Sierra, 33, NY woman murdered, Istanbul, 21 Jan 2013 - #5

    Ok, here is a crazy theory from me. The craziest part is that Z afterall is not as evil as we think him to be. When SS is taking photos, Z approaches SS, SS panics, screams. Or she is not even afraid of Z but sees the druggies grouping behind. That's why she might have screamed. Hearing S...

    Thanks for the post. I read it all. Probably, Fantazteko too. I was just kidding in my earlier post. If a professional wants to kill someone in Istanbul and lose the body, there are a thousand safer ways to do it. He would never pick a spot like that. IMO No professional organization would...

    That is crazy. Maybe Ziya had made himself believe that he was the guardian of the city walls. And that's how things got started. :) Very unlikely. But I have heard of this mentally ill guy on one of the Prince Islands, some islands in Marmara Sea off the coast of Istanbul. From time to...

    First, he is not Almighty, he is Alpmighty. Almighty is someone else. Secondly, I looked again, but couldn't find any news about the identity of that woman. But Sarayburnu is a famous spot where most dead bodies surface. I also know of a rumor that Sultan Ibrahim (1615-1648) had 300...

    The coffee shop in karabuck? Really? It's Karabük. You'd know that, too. You were thinking of Starbucks when you were writing that. And that was a Freudian slip, right? So funny.
