by Stanley Hyland
Arpa Cayi, the Barley river, is the narrow stream that divides Turkey from Soviet Armenia. In spring of this year Stanley Hyland made a journey from Ankara, the capital city of Turkey, to Zonguldak on the Black Sea, from Zonguldak to Istanbul, across the Sea of Marmara to Yalova, Bursa, and Izmir, then inland along the river Meander to Denizli in the western mountains of the Taurus range. From Denizli he went back to Ankara and made the long train journey eastwards across the plain of Anatolia to Erzurum and Kars and on to the Russian border.
In this talk he gives some of his impressions of western and eastern Turkey.
