I understood that since the foundation of the Turkish Republic that it was illegal to wear a fez in public. However, in İstanbul I saw quite a few shops selling fez!!!

Can anyone explain further?

I don't read!!!
I have been reading a book for the last 8 years and I am less than half way through it - can't even remember the title

I have started reading another book - I started 3 weeks ago and have so far read the title......but that is a Turkish children's book

Quoting vineyards:

There are tax liabilities for everyone; no one pays (except for public workers and some honest businessmen)

How does the country raise money then???

Quoting vineyards:

There used to be capital punishment in effect but no one was hung since the military junta 27 years ago.

That is true of many countries - the UK included!!!
