When I was in the US, I got the impression that they were more open to business than UK and Europe, and the UK cannot afford to be complacent in a globalising world.
Yes, it’s worth looking at. Built at huge at huge environmental cost, between that and the new motor way & bridge it has resulted it the felling of well over a million trees, the opening up of huge areas of previously green areas for development with most of the benefits of that going to supporters and associates of the AKP.

Officially 23 people were killed during construction. Unions start far higher numbers. What can not be disputed is that police forced labourers back to work.

The dangers of no accountability and massive corruption plain for all to see.
