And, Azeris travelling from Nakhicevan do not even need a visa (or even a passport!) - they just get a stamp on their ID card, and can enter Turkey as often as they like.

(hope they charge double! for those big hairy Turks - yucky!)
This is getting a bit sick now. Sorryy....
Why do they pick Turkey? Why not Russia? It has more money and is a superpower.

Sometimes different circumstances drives us to different things! Many women become prostitutes not just out of poverty but out of childhood abuse, and that was still going on so running away is the only way to escape it then they have nowhere to go at 15. Then this is where these pimps and madams come in.
The same old story happenned to a few friends at school...

The going rate was (I was told by a few Turks) 10 US dollars plus hotel bill. Given that they could stay in Turkey for two weeks with a visitors visa, that could mean a large amount of money could be earned by Armenian/Georgian/Russian standards. Turkey is a lot richer than Russia - and anyone can get US currency.
Along the Black Sea all the cheaper hotels were full of prostitutes. They were mainly along the Black Sea because the more time spent travelling, the less time spent earning.
I'm not going to condem them moraly, but I will esthetically - most of the women were quite horribly ugly, with dyed blond hair and comically thick makeup. But the Turks seemed to like them, hence the Black Sea coast's heavy AIDS infection rate.
If some of you want, I'll re-tell the Black Sea AIDS joke that when originally told on a Turkish chat show later caused a machine gun attack on the TV station, and the program's host to flee abroad to escape death threats - sensitive souls will want to cover their eyes!

It has come to my attention that the incredible has been happening lately: Armenians from Armenia are actually illegally entering Turkey to work! I find this incredible and was wondering if anyone has more info. on this. For instance, about how many people are we talking about? Do they stay for a long period of time, or is it seasonal? How do they enter the country? What happens to them if they are caught?
Nothing wrong with trying to make a living, be it in Turkey, Russia or beyond. That´s what we have been most succesful at.

This is from memory - I can’t remember the name of the broadcaster or the Istanbul TV station, (and I think the various family relationships were more extensive in the original telling!). The night after the broadcast someone shot up the TV station’s reception window with a machine gun, and the Black Sea Mafia announced they had a contract out to kill the broadcaster - who by then had apologised profusely before fleeing abroad in panic. The Istanbul Turks use the word "Laz" as a term for everyone living along the Black Sea (not restricting it to the 150,000 or so ethnic Laz). The Laz are seen as a bit stupid, very moralistic, and very touchy about their reputation and sense of honour.
The joke went something like:
There was this Laz who came down from his mountain village to Trabzon to buy some supplies. While there he engaged the services of one of the town’s many Russian prostitutes. A week after his return to the village, he happened to remark to his father that he had slept with a prostitute while in Trabzon, His father was outraged - "how could you have done such a bad thing", he exclaimed! "Don’t you know that they all have AIDS. On the night of you return you will have infected your wife, the following morning she will have given it to her father, by the afternoon he would have infected your daughter, then she will have given it to your son, he will have given it to your mother, then she would have given it to me, and by now the whole village will be infected! How could you have behaved in such an immoral way?"
Another much repeated Laz joke goes like:
A Laz bought a ticket to fly from Trabzon to Istanbul. When he got on the plane he immediately entered the ****pit and sat down in the pilot's seat. The pilot tried to get him to move to a proper seat, but he would not budge. "Oh no", said the Laz, "I paid for the ticket, this is the best seat in the plane, and I’m not moving!". The pilot did not want to make a commotion, so just asked the Laz to show him his ticket. "Ah, I see you want to go to Istanbul", said the pilot, "but this part of the plane is going to Ankara, the back of the plane is going to Istanbul."
