US journalist says he was denied entry to Turkey
ISTANBUL – Doğan News Agency
Journalist David Lepeska was sent back to Chicago from Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport.
“Once you’re denied entry to a country is all your future writing on that place seen as suspect? I don’t hold it against you, Turkey,” he tweeted.
“Was just hurried onto a flight to Chicago after being denied entry at Istanbul Ataturk. This is not the last I will see of you, Turkey. My love for you is deep, thanks mainly to the steady stream of lovely lively people I met here. Be well, Istanbul,” Lepeska wrote in a caption of a photo he shared on his Instagram account.
