In Turkey

Robert talks with journalist Tom Goltz about freedom-fighting Turks of Caucasian ancestry and the hostage crisis on the Black Sea. Chechens have taken 200 people hostage aboard a ferry boat and have threatened to blow the boat up once they reach Istanbul. Goltz spent the last four years in Turkey and the Caucasus and is writing a book about the wars in the post-Soviet Caucasus.
