We'll do everything to oust this worthless dictator from power. Please kindly let all philosophers following your highly influential reports to the following (reasonably independent) link:
The e-mail address of the Turkish embassy in Washington DC is: [email protected].
I'm opening comments for readers to post additional information, links, or anything else relevant.
UPDATE: In the third comment (see below), a useful link to a website with a template letter to the U.N. has been posted. Scroll down to the third comment for more information.
