Turkey's involvement in nuclear black-market, illegal weapon trafficking, narcotics, the Islamization of Central Asia, and illegal activities within the US Government are also very well-guarded secrets.
Turkey’s Lead Role in Afghan Heroin Trade is One of the Best Kept Stories of the Wars on Terror & Drugs
According to the State Department's Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs' 2006 Report:
1) Turkey is a major transit route for Southwest Asian opiates to Europe, and serves as a base and refining center for major narcotics traffickers and brokers....
2) Turkey is also a base of operations for international narcotics traffickers and associates trafficking in opium, morphine base, heroin, precursor chemicals and other drugs. The majority of these opiates originate in Afghanistan, and are ultimately trafficked to Western Europe.
3) Turkey remains a major route, refining center and storage, production and staging area, for the flow of heroin to Europe. Turkish-based traffickers and brokers operate in conjunction with narcotics smugglers, laboratory operators, and money launderers in and outside Turkey. They finance and control the smuggling of opiates to and from Turkey. Afghanistan is the source of most of the opiates reaching Turkey.
3) Opiates and hashish also are smuggled to Turkey overland from Afghanistan via Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.

14 hurt in Muslim riots over alleged Qur'an desecration in Greece
An update on this story. "Muslim migrants riot in Athens," from The Age, May 24 :
Dozens of cars have been smashed, 14 people injured and 46 arrested in riots by Muslim migrants over the alleged defacing of a Koran by a policeman.
Police fired tear gas and stun grenades at hundreds of protesters outside Parliament in the city centre.
Police said they would investigate the allegation that an officer tore up an Iraqi migrant's Koran while checking his identity papers in Athens last week. "But this isolated incident cannot justify these acts of violence," said Interior Minister Christos Markoyiannakis....
Yes, but how many of them are in Greece legally? Although Greece knew well that the slave labour of the albanians was a necessary evil, she was alert enough to not make any of them legal residents, or even give them work permits. What are their rights, and who will stick up for them?
Greece will soon have its own version of the Pacific Solution - they will probably dub it the Aegean solution.
I'm sure that officer will be very thoroughly investigated. They will probably promote him to the post of community relations officer in Xanthi Prefecture.
