Hughes in Turkey

The Bash Karen Hughes Tour stopped in Ankara, Turkey yesterday before moving on to Istanbul. Both NYT and WashPost report pointed questions about Iraq. My personal favorite quote from one of the female human rights advocates who met with Hughes was, "States cannot interfere through wars." So what is that whole Cyprus thing about. Then there were complaints about the American occupation. I found it odd that a self-described Kurdish activist decried the war considering that the biggest fear the Turks had about the war was an independent Kurdish state bordering them and giving aid and comfort to Kurds in Turkey.
