what a coincidence
just a while ago another jerk asked the very same question
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071027095816AAyF7lA

was it you, point-gaming dwarf? a tiny loser?
desperately babbling for stupid terrorist propaganda?

Now what? your accomplice (or your other ID) will come up give yet another stupid answer to this non-sense of yours?
And you'll pick it up for the best answer?

This question is illegal! Even the ID is taken today
Pls do the necessary

Any area on this place only becomes unsafe,when those who Visit it are ill-informed. Do your research first ; completely,before you speculate on incomplete accusations.

Ipek K

Who told you it is not safe??

Sorry to tell you but they fooled you.

wannabediva

I love turkey, i go back year after year, i don't understand the negative public perception... xx

not fair

only for trolls like you.

Istanbul must be safer than your cave.

I just got back from Istanbul two weeks ago. I am from the USA. Never had any problems. People are very nice. Its just like going anywhere else. If someone or something seems shady, dont do it and stay in public places.

Istanbul is probably safer than London or Paris.

ipek

If this is your opinion, please dont go. I like to be there right now.

The only danger in Turkey is if YOU would happen to vist it.
Quit creating panic. Istanbul is the most wonderful place I have ever visited.

Mehmet K

As I already told just couple of hours before in this section, Istanbul is only as safe as Newyork, Munchen, London etc..

I believe this question is new tool for trolls of this section...

hanibal

Alana Awareness

istanbul bogazi

Who says that? Bring me that uneducated bast... i will make him visit Istanbul and he/she will apologize for the false accusations at the end of her/his stay.
Istanbul is one of the securest metropoles of the world.
I really can't stand those uneducated,uncultured, biased,stupid people who tend to make false comments like this. Moreover i pity them because they really have small brains.

accorddouble07

I've been there like 3 or 4 times, it's not as bad as you think

Dad

who says? Its as safe as anywhere, don't buy carpets, if you are american keep your voice down and don't trash moslems.... its one of the most beautiful and ugly places in Europe all at once, and that takes some doing ....

Hurricane

Somebody must be kidding you! istanbul is so much safier than Paris or NYC believe me.BTW Turkey is not a second world country if you think so...

Eric G

I was just there in September and had no problems. It's a very Muslim country, but people are nice and welcoming to tourists. It was safe for me. The traffic was real heavy though. As any place you go, there are certain things you should watch out for, and just use your head and don't do anything dumb!

The Babe is Armed!

I heard Saruman and his Orcs have a winter home there, and Darth Vader and all the Stormtroopers hit the beach during the summer. As long as you go in the spring or autumn, you should be okay. :D

If you're not worried about either of those threats, I think you'll be fine any time of year. :)

There are a few reasons from the FCO website.

Istanbul is a safe place. i lived there like 6 years. I think every big cities are kind of unsafe if you are careless. If you leave your belongings unattended it might be stolen even in US and Terrorist attacks might happen in London, NY, paris also. So you should not hesitate to travel because of this reason.

I'm Macedonian!!!

hey!!! Who said that?!! Kill the messenger... ;o)

of course it's safe, so go for it and have fun!!!

genç türk

It is not. I urge you to tell which 3rd world country you come from.

Bosco

It gets a lot of israeli tourism but I don't think they are actually dangerous when they are on vacation. That's just back in palestine where they like to spray kids with lead.

uha1

Stay away from terrorist looking Kurds, and you will be all fine!

George M

they ant big fans of english or americans
