I tried to stay away from putting this topic here for a few days, but after Van, Ankara has seen its first cases of bird flu. And BBC report below talks about of Russians taking action not to travel to Turkey.

"Meanwhile, Russia's Interfax news agency reported on Sunday that the country's chief epidemiologist has told his countrymen not to travel to Turkey - a popular vacation destination for Russians - because of the bird flu outbreak.

"I earnestly advise Russian citizens to refrain from traveling to Turkey, especially to the eastern province of Agri and the city of Dogubeyazit... where the situation is particularly alarming," Interfax quoted Gennady Onishchenko as saying."

I think it is only a matter of weeks, not days before travel bans are in effect to Turkey. How do you think this will effect air travel in Europe and in the world?

Ý don`t see why any tourist would want to travel to Dogubeyazit, in the far east of the country against the Ýranian border. Especially not in the middle of winter!
Other than that, Ý have accustomed myself to wear a mask when travelling by plane to and from Asia, and will do it as well when flying to Dubai and on to Bangkok on the 10th and 14th.

Don't know how disruptive this would be but I don't think it would work (in containing bird flu). To stop domestic birds (chickens etc) becoming infected, you would need to ban bird migration.
