a non-photographer friend of mine is traveling to Van, Diyarbakir, Besni, Elazig, Mus in Eastern Turkey.

Has anyone been in this region recently? I am looking for general advice of things to do or NOT do while in this area.. and any other advice or safety concerns.. She is traveling with a group and they will have local people with them.. so she should be good to go.. just thought I would inquire of the list, as we see more things in general.

thanks in advance.

Jon
