Aber der einzige, der heute abend hier einsaß und dessen Finger sich weiß um die Eisenstäbe schlangen, war der blinde Riley, ein Indianer, der vor Jahren bei einer Messerstecherei beide Augen verloren hatte.

Umstritten ist die unlängst von ihm veranlasste Inhaftierung des Ex-Generalstabschefs İlker Başbuğ, dem von der türkischen Staatsanwaltschaft vorgeworfen wird – viele behaupten zu Unrecht –, einen Putsch gegen die Regierung geplant zu haben.
