The Turkish Embassy Opens
from the pages of the Smyrna Sentinel
with your humble correspondent Ahmed Bin Barcalounger

Greetings to one and all. We here in the Ottoman Empire bid you welcome.
Do not read too much into our title of empire. We are but insignificant merchants
stuck here in the corner of the globe wishing only to trade with our neighbors.

Our embassy doors are open to all peaceful travelers.
We offer baklava, kunefe, tulumba, Shish kebabs and much more food and fabulous drink.
Come refresh yourselves and we will talk of peace and good times.

Your host,
The Senile Sultan

All hail the Turkish Taffy!

I tried to avoid the taffy lest someone accuse me of having sticky fingers
