“Fear is a garden, fertile as Eden before the Fall.”
Katherine Nouri Hughes, The Mapmaker's Daughter

Şevket Süreyya Aydemir
“We (Turkish soldiers) were met by just a few men on horseback in Caucasian dress, like fairy-tale soldiers with silver-plated sabres in their belts. Our small procession seemed to me to be the harbinger of a great liberation, the awakening of the vast land of Turan. It was a new Ergenekon.”
Şevket Süreyya Aydemir
