RTZ was able to operate in Indonesia- a more corrupt and anti-American country than Turkey. Let's see if they can do it in Turkey. B

I'm reading lately about a serious rise in Turkey militancy against the US. Could this be why the market hesitates on ANO? ANO isn't an American company, it's Canadian, correct? I have no reason to think otherwise. Wouldn't the Turks think differently of Canadians than Americans?

C, Re: ANO and Turkey if you go looking for anti-Americanism in a foreign culture, you’ll find it You ought to speak to some people here in Canada! You'd think that Americans and their businesses were in imminent danger on our side of the border.<g> My understanding of Turkey is that many people are well educated and that the country has taken many reforms in the past decade to improve its economy. With IMF's help their economy has improved during the last few years. The country is also keen on joining the EU. So hopefully Turkey will be able to walk the "high" road here and not start a war against America or anyone that looks American. This would not be in their best interests. Is Yeman any safer than Turkey? Turkey seems to have more infrastructure and the population seems more educated. So I plan on keeping my ANO.to shares. ANO's management along with companies like Kinross, Rio Tinto, Eldorado, etc.. seem to think Turkey is safe. Also, Eldorado seems to have done well working in the same country. Copler is going to sing this year. Cheers, John
