"When Anatolia meets gangster rap
By Simon Bahceli

Nor is it unusual to hear loud thumping rap music coming from passing cars driven by gel-headed youths, usually of Cypriot origin. While the old city centre wails a love-struck eastern lament, the suburbs thud to a more contemporary, Western rhythm, interspersed with lyrics about sex, drugs and violence."
