i(0082 Talat). His wife is i(0246 Osman Talasli's) dtr.
In i(0074 Osman Ates's) house. Widow is sister to i(Sleyman Tasdemir's) wife - met her there. She has masses of sons. Eldest i(0390 Faruk).
1. i(0390 Faruk Ates) in Saudi Arabia.
Paid TL1/2m to i(0871 Ismail Gkpinar) in order to get there.
"I ok" {gl : "much work"} - makes c. 2,000 rial a month or more, less 300 to his kefil {gl : surety}. I.e. 1,700 x 180 TL300,000 less living costs. [Savings
of TL200,000 a month for 8 months -- TL 1.5m. a year. Sounds right.]
Ates - i(0082 Talat) and i(0551 Kemal) building in Antalya using i(0552 Bekir's) name and reputation.
Present building. 50% of space to arsa owner. Arsa are very rare and difficult to get.
Building.
1 (?) 6 shops
2 6 professional offices
3, 4, 5 - 3 floors of 3 flats each
I persisted in saying that selling only half at a price high enough to cover costs and make a profit would be difficult. No joy; they simply said it depends
on having the resources to delay selling the flats.
Already a lot of approaches for sales - not selling yet.
i(0082 Talat) is planning to give up Germany fairly soon and live in Antalya. He talked about i(Mehmet).
Wife i(0246 Osman Talasli D). Tried to collect i(0246 Osman's) sons from Tehirda, i(0589 Fahrettin) and i(0598 Cemil Talasli).
i(0082 Talat) said he was taaron in Tehira after working in Istanbul in 1968 or so and he took i(0589 Fahrettin) there.
i(Tenzile) and i(Nazife)
i(Tenzile) full of woe. i(0400 Fuad), i(0270 Bilal), dtr. and gelin (i(Bayram Ali's) dtr.) all here and living in i(0137 Rifat's house).
i(Tenzile) is quite ill - pain and exhaustion. Her "karacier" {gl : liver}is swollen and her "tansiyon" {gl : blood pressure) high. Dr. said he could do
nothing much; she has to cure herself.
Gave her pills and orders to rest and keep to a diet. She wanted to talk to Emine.
i(0400 Fuad) said he is in work, and will take i(Bnyamin) to Adana in the autumn to teach him. He has a good contract but no workers because of "rgatlk"{?}.
He said the secret of success is "evre" {gl : ?network of contacts} - he has lots of contacts for getting work and for recruiting workers. This was
spontaneous.
i(0398 Zafer) is in S.A.; i(0385 Hayat) came home izinli {gl : on leave} but is not going back. Things are good in Turkey at the moment.
