I never met Asil Nadir but in the summer of 1990—just prior to the collapse of his British-based food and electronics conglomerate, and later escape from investigators to northern Cyprus (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus)—I published a story in Turquoise, Nadir’s glossy magazine about the Turkish world. The article, titled “Jereed,” followed an October visit by me with photographer George Obremski to the Eastern Anatolia mountain village of Haydari, not far from the then Turkey-Soviet Armenia border.
In remembrance of Asil Nadir’s cultural contribution to the world, I’m reprinting the story here.
I'm the author of five books: The Altenberg 16: An Exposé of the Evolution Industry; The Origin of Life Circus: A How To Make Life Extravaganza; The Paradigm Shifters: Overthrowing 'the Hegemony of the Culture of Darwin'; Royal Society: The Public Evolution Summit; and the most recent---Darwin Overthrown: Hello Mechanobiology.
My reports have appeared in the Financial Times, The Economist, Forbes, Newsday, Archaeology, Astrobiology, Connoisseur, Omni, Huffington Post, Progressive Review ("How Bush Got Bounced From Carlyle Board"), CounterPunch, Scoop Media and other publications, as well as on PBS, CBC and MBC.
More than a dozen of my stories related to the Rome antiquities conspiracy trial were featured in Harvard Law School's Art Law Syllabus 2008.
I've covered the wars: Colombian Drug War, Gulf War, Sudan, and Kashmir (from both the Indian and Pakistani sides of the conflict).
And I’ve been a guest on Charlie Rose, McLaughlin and various Fox Television News programs talking about those crises and others.
For some years along the way, I was a runway fashion model for legends Geoffrey Beene, Bill Blass, Giorgio Sant' Angelo and so many more.
