Hi list,
I Want to share a news from Turkey.
At the beginning of his speech, Turkish Prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
is holding a map of Turkey and tells that he visited all around Turkey along
the year 2010. Under the map, there is a legend showing the meaning of the
colored lines.

Leaders rarely uses maps as a communication tool in Turkey. For me, any
image of map use, any map on the wall, any map on the media has a role to
the map awareness of the people. Some may have less and some may have more.
After I saw that news, I said, "this is a case, and very important for map
awareness in Turkey". One of my map makers said "what else then? Will the
map selling explode in Turkey today?"
Best regards,
Ekrem ALIMLI
