Jenna Deported :)
So, apparently the whole not entering Turkey for 5 years thing is serious - I arrived to Istanbul and was informed that I would be sent back to the Netherlands. Luckily I did get to see Yalcin for about 10 minutes, and then I spent the whole day in the holding cell at the airport's police station before being deported. What a strange experience. I was so upset at first, cried my eyes out (they hurt the rest of the day), but in the end I was actually quite amused, who would have thought something like this would happen? But stupid authorities who either lied to us or didn't know what they were talking about. Grrr, apparently this is part of a new law passed January 14th of this year, and I have the privelege of being the first Westerner (European/N. American) to be deported under the new law :P
aiaiai, so I'm back in Middelburg for the rest of Spring break, at least Yalcin can now definitely concentrate on his exams. Oh, and I can enter Turkey if I either get a work or marriage Visa, the only way. We'll see, Yalcin will probably try coming here again. But first, his brother, who is quite a famous lawyer in Turkey - he was the lawyer of some parliamentary lady who had been in prison (left wing, Turkey is quite strict about Kurds and left-wing people) and he managed to free her and she's back in parliament. Anyway, he said that they couldn't do what they did and is going to bring my case to court. I actually don't think anything will work out, since the law was from the 14th and I was 'caught' on the 20th. But, they should have told us the truth, the real law.
Anyway, would be cool if I win the case, who knows.
