| � �On a narrow street in a slum area of downtown Istanbul a group of Iraqi men gather under the neon glow of a floodlight.� This is the Kumkapi neighborhood, frequented by refugees and immigrants from Africa, Eastern Europe and now Iraq.� As the situation continues to deteriorate in Iraq, more and more people, those who have the finances and physical ability, are choosing to flee the chaos and head into neighboring Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.� |
