Right now I would avoid the region as much as I could, just to be safe

..Tolia..

I went to Istanbul last week,
and of course I had no problem at all!

I go very often to Turkey and so far nothing bad happened to me or to any friends I know !

Security is everywhere, and there are control systems by the police, in order to prevent any kind of attacks or bad behaviors

I feel safe to my neighbor country!

and I ll definitely go there soon!

Well we are eating tourists here.

I most like the soup that done by UK LAdies arms. Lets call it UKaLA soup.

Ofcourse Turkey is safe for all activities.

Here some information about Turkey.

Have a nice holiday.

Safe is a state of mind,

List of countries by homicide rate per year per 100,000 inhabitants.

Homicide demographics are affected by the improvement of trauma care, leading to reduced lethality of violent assaults—thus the homicide rate may also not necessarily indicate the overall level of societal violence

The higher the ratio number the more deadly, the lower on the list the safer.

Actually I think UK and USA are more dangerous. I was in Turkey in May and in July. The south coast is dangerous though if you stay in the sun too long. It is so hot you can get sick. So be careful, wear a hat and suntan lotion.
If you are afraid of the heat and all the delicious food (getting fat), then Turkey is dangerous. Don't come!

dont let me go™

omg i have been there in 2004,2005 and it was GORGEOUS AND AMAZING!!!!! nothing happend to!! you should totally go dude! it was beutiful. i was in Istambul and bodrum.

Weatherman

It's no more dangerous than many other holiday places, Spain for instance has as many terrorist attacks (Basque Separatists for instance) as Turkey, but that's seen as safe

Totally Blunt

We haven't had anything worse than forest fires, and other countries in the Mediterrenean are having them, too.

Don't worry.

URANIUM

YES IT IS!

Hi Roj,

Anatoli (Tolia) gave the best answer and you can trust her ...

Qu'est ce que tu pense?

Road side bombs? What country are you talking about exactly...Iraq? Turkey is perfectly safe and people like you shouldn't even come to see this beautiful country if you're going to act that way. Turkey is just as safe as any other country in the world.

A friend of mine just got back from a vacation in Turkey. It seems to be fine there, but nobody can be absolutely sure ...
I decided to go to Thailand on holiday...tsunami ????? U know what I mean.... ;)

Fenerli

It's safe. We go almost every year for a few weeks. No matter where you go on vacation or live there is a chance of some stupid person/group doing something. But if you live like that then you should just live in a bomb shelter and call it a day. Turkey is fine ... you'll love it.

Tevfik

ABSOLUTELY SAFE, TRUST ME....

This question of yours shows us that u have been to turkey... (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuP_P7x7iJLVAsVmC54wFbXsy6IX?qid=20060626133318AAfj9Bm ) so you should know that TURKEY IS REALLY SAFE!

genç türk

Better than Iraq. Hey kurd, take you business elsewhere and stop trying to scare off tourists...

Destructor

It is safer without you, the KURDS...

mohamad _mosic1370

if do you think about bobms or killers or anythink like that its safe but in turkey they have rubbers and they can rub things in 5 secs and finish and you cant get them any more.

Fate

Of course Turkey is safe, what the hell are you on about!

I'm speaking from Turkey right now and I'm fine, GET YOUR *** OVER HERE!

Scott

I always enjoy a some Turkey for Thanks Giving and Christmas.

And Occasionally A few Shots of Wild Turkey When its Required...

I've never found it to be Unsafe to eat Turkey unless its under cooked.....

Miss Alexis

If they say the country is unstable, why would you want to go there? Common sense would say no, stay home...
