A Turkish Town, Waiting for Destruction

Images of Hasankeyf, Turkey
At the request of the Turkish government, most of the people in Hasankeyf moved out of their cave like homes in the cliffs above the river forty years ago, but a small number of families still live in the caves.

Super pictures of a real live issue. But what's the "Greater Anatolia Project" when it's at home? You've just made that up. The project's called GAP, a Turkish acronym standing for Southeast Anatolia Project. Which to my ear sounds more innocent than the sinister neo-conny version you've concocted.
