The Clintons couldn't avoid their admiration. They expressed their feelings by saying: 'Beautiful, unbelievable and charming!'…

CLINTON GAVE HOPE ! Erkan Mumcu, the minister of Ministry of Tourism who stated the Turkish tourism will beat all the records in 2000 said "Clinton had a really important presentation for Turkey"

BECAME A VOLUNTEERED AMBASSADOR: The President who admired Ephesus and Virgin Mary's House handled the role of volunteered ambassador by saying "We have to tell about here to the Americans willing to join the faith tourism"

SPLENDID: We are so grateful to Chelsea as she and her mother visited Turkey before and they convinced Clinton to visit Turkey too. Chelsea who is a 22 year old girl attends Stanford University; she will graduate from the university in 2001. Being a very modest and a very well educated Young girl, she was admired in Turkey. Chelsea made Ephesus to be known by the whole world. So, we thank her a lot ! THANKS CHELSEA ! While leaving Turkey she promised she will come to Turkey again to see TROY in Dardanelles.

A PRESENT FOR THE PRESIDENT: President Clinton was given a crystal cross, a Virgin Mary figure and a small Jesus Christ statue by a gift shop owner there and he accepted the presents with thanks. The Clintons became pilgrims there. They were also sanctified at Virgin Mary's house. After the ceremony, they said it was a great pleasure for them to be at Ephesus and to breath the beautiful atmosphere there.
