"Turkey is not just misunderstood. The country is also misunderstood incorrectly. Or so goes a word game popular among Turks from all walks of life when the topic turns to how the country is perceived internationally".

A long but interesting article focusing on opinions of five people chosen from various segments of society of what they think President Obama might not know about Turkey (and should know). 

There are a few things I have learnt, one that Iranians can travel into Turkey without a visa.  That explains why there were several Iranians in Oludeniz last time I went.

 Thanks for that.  And I learnt a thing or two!!
