Though our local Turks will not appreciate this - Ed Vulliamy produced this excellent piece for the Guardian.
A taste: 'Ahead of Turkey's crucial Euro 2008 qualifying match against Bosnia on 2 June, there was an affinity between themselves and the Bosnian Muslims that make up the capital's majority, a bond of culture and religion against their mutual, sworn enemies: Serbia and Greece. T-shirts and flags were for sale combining the lilies of the war-time Bosnian flag with Turkey's star and crescent on a red background. 'Bosna!' chanted the Turks; 'Turkiye!' the Bosnian fans chanted back.'

I would miss the wise law of Suleyman Kanuni and Mehmet Fatih. Better them than Milosevic.
