Armenia - Cyprus - Syria - Turkey

Feb. 29 Turkish goodbye to american Bazaars. Istanbul - two dollar Italian neckties on sale at Istanbul's waterfront American Bazaars were going like fire-sale shish-kebabs for Turkish Lira equivalents of 30 dolars each before Turkish authorities, starting this month (March), began enforcement of new law that says that no pblic display or sale is legal of luxury items or products of forighn origin in Turkey. Before this month's shut down, Istanbul's got-rich-quick millionaires competed with each other at the American Bazaars to pay-in Lira equivalents- 110 dollars for dime-store quality plastic made-in-U.S.A. dinner sets for eight, 1, 750 dollars for two speed GM washers to clean up Levis -real or ersatz- fought over at 40 dollars the pair. Costumers of American Bazaars thought nithing of paying Lira amounts equal 5 dollars for box of American cornflakes, or 20 dollars for a jar of Maxwell House coffee
