3 Republican senators secretly met a corrupt
Turkish businessman/politician in Istanbul. The senators are John Mccain, Saxby Chambliss and Mel Martinez.
The 3 American senators secretly came to Istanbul to meet with Cem Uzan a corrupt businessman and politician. The Turkish newspapers dont know what these senators were doing in Turkey.

Edited on Sun Aug-27-06 09:20 PM by Orrin_73
senators including Lindsay Graham and Richard Bom, I cant find the name of the last one. They came friday morning to Istanbul with a private plane and left at 17:00 Istanbul time. They had a meeting with the businessman and a few other men in Istanbul. Their wives were seen shopping in Istanbul.

A Turkish columnist writes that the senators were probably talking about the lack of Turkish support for American invasion in Iraq and about the political opposition to prime minister Erdogan.

6. These guys think they are above the law
why would they fly in and fly out so quickly unless they are working on filling their pockets....

Maybe they are trying to work out deals for when they go into exile in order to avoid American law....

7. I dont think that the politicians should deal with the
armenian issue. It should be left to the historians.
