I am trying to make sense of the instruction manual ( a few bits of paper can hardly be considered a manual!) that came with my newly arrived aluminium greenhouse . As it was manufactured in Bolton, the text is in Northernese, which is a language understandable only by them. At first glance it appears to be English but none of the rules of grammar or even logic seem to apply . The number of spelling errors is doing nothing for my confidence in the firm. Needless to say, there are quite literally hundreds of pieces to be assembled!

Kan Uykusu -The Blood Slumber By Serdar Akinan

Unutulanlar Dışında Yeni Birşey Yok - Nothing New Except The Forgotten Ones By Osman Pamukoğlu (Major General T.A.F.-ret.)

These two books are about the struggle against PKK Terrorism between 1993-1995. these years are important because T.A.F. has changed his main doctrine and left the stationary defensive position, instead of this they started to make a irregular war (sorry about poor translating, maybe our military prof. members can correct me) which is a kind of Guerilla-like war.

Thanks to Major General Osman Pamukoğlu (ret.) and his tactics...

i think you (all military members) may find it interesting. a lot of pictures in this link.
KAN UYKUSU like:


Monument of Martyrs






it is a very hard place and weather conditions to even find the enemy
