turkey safe today?

[Wolfbalden]

I may need to make a business trip to Turkey in the next few weeks. One of my colleagues told me he had been there 20 years ago but that it was very unsafe now for Jews. Anyone have any insight into this? Are there hot spots to avoid? are public, touristy places ok, is it beter or worse in the interior? Any ideas are welcome. TIA

I was there, and it FELT safe.  Don't discuss politics with anyone. Baseballcap and the usual precautions.
There are now two jewish prayer rooms in Istanbul's new airport.  They are planning for a third one.

I’ve been there four times in the last year. No issues. Just mind your own business and you’ll be fine. I wrote an Article in Ami Magazine about it. PM me if you need.

Took her through Turkey. I didn’t take her to Lebanon, but I’d be perfectly fine with taking my her to Saudi Arabia.
