You're going to have a fun time trying to do that.

Regardless of the truth, rights and wrongs, the Turkish government and, according to local media, many Turkish citizens are blaming America for the coup attempt.

Whilst I take whatever any politician or newspaper says with more than a little pinch of salt, many people read and believe without the slightest consideration of the truth, or the thought individual Americans probably have no interest in politics anyway.

I think your only hope is to try to talk to them, assuring them you have nothing to do with politics and have no ill intent to turkey or its people.

The other possibility is the silly head of racism, or perhaps a combination of the two.
Racism is always a tough one as those who believe skin colour makes a difference to who a person is must be a bit stupid to start with, thus  are hard to talk to at all.

Thanks and really agree with your line of thought. I have to keep going because ''when the going gets tough only the tough can keep going''.
