Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: During my summer vacation in Bodrum, Turkey, I was very pleased to see Greeks from neighbouring islands, only five to 10 miles away, visiting Turkey in the morning, doing their shopping and returning in the evening by ferry boat. Later I found out that Greeks do not require a visa to visit Turkey, but Turks are not permitted to visit the Greek islands without a visa, which could only be obtained by applying to their consulate in Izmir, 250km away, and it may take two weeks to receive.
I suggest the Greek people should tell their politicians they have nothing to fear from the Turks, and let Turks visit their country freely, which I am sure will bring them closer and convince them they should not be afraid of the Turks.
