Respect the truth and accept reality


SEVERAL remarks by Turkish ambassador Basak Turkoglu in the letter “Setting the facts right on attempted coup” (The Star, July 27) about my column, “Turkey on the brink” (Sunday Star, July 24) contain errors that bear correction and clarification.

The column observed that some shots and explosions at certain venues seemed to signal the end of the alleged coup attempt, but Turkoglu took this to mean these few incidents comprised the entirety of the occasion!
