[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 7690002, member: 84744"]I've no reason to suspect the veracity of these reports, but I feel compelled to note that the Anadolu Agency is widely acknowledged to be a propaganda machine for the AKP government. In any case, what a deplorable situation this all is... bad for everyone involved: collectors, archaeologists, the various governments, and the Turkish people. Meanwhile, antiquities in Turkey are neglected and turning to dust. If only they adopted the UK system where find locations were recorded, finds photographed and catalogued, and finders fairly compensated or allowed to keep/sell the items (with the government reaping some rewards in the form of taxation). Everyone on that list would be vastly better off. So, so dumb, I can't even. :mad:[/QUOTE]
