"Ada suatu masa ketika Istanbul adalah salah satu kota teraman di dunia, karena orang-orang takut pada polisi. Orang-orang tidak lagi takut pada polisi seperti dulu. Penjambretan dulu hampir tidak dikenal; sekarang semua orang takut penjambretan. Dalam hal itu, kelemahan liberalisasi sudah dirasakan di Turki. Dan tentu saja beberapa orang takut akan etno-terorisme Kurdi, yang sangat mengkhawatirkan orang Turki daripada jenis agama."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

There was a time when Istanbul was one of the safest cities in the world, because people were afraid of the police. People are no longer as afraid of the police as they used to be. Mugging used to be almost unknown; now everybody is afraid of mugging. In that sense, the downside of liberalization is already being felt in Turkey. And of course some people are afraid of Kurdish ethno-terrorism, which worries Turks very much more than the religious sort.
