One reason would be that Turkey might in fact be the
most dangerous country in the world to remove a
meteorite from. Turkey has extreme laws about removal
of ANYTHING! People I know say that at the airports
there are warnings about removing even a pebble or sea
shell. Jail sentances are handed down for people
caught at the airport removing pieces of "cultural
treasures" and I think that they might not like their
newest meteorite fall leaving the country in a
carry-on.
I am going to pass on this one!
