BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

Samy, I was there, in the sixties, in Ankara, I too was a student, we all knew, especially the Turks who were recruited. And, there have been leaks, even to the United Nations in open session. A quick internet search will reveal much that has recently been declassified.

Just to keep on topic for others who read here... - we are talking about wolves, gray wolves.....

Thanks for the reply.

The first few nights I ever wild camped were in Norway, and probably because the lonely planet points out in about its first paragraph that Norway is home to most of Europe's wolf population or something, I spent a fair bit of time lying awake convinced I could hear four legged animals.

Tips for wolves
I don't know where you are travelling, and what season.
Mid and late winter food scarcity for the large predators could put you on the menu. You could be attacked if you cornered or threatened one, by for example chasing one to take a photo.
Generally all potential killer animals will prefer to avoid humans - they have a lot of bad experience with us.
As far as I know in Scandinavia no one has been killed by wolves for centuries. Bears do attack, especially if they have young cubs around.
Makes sense not to leave food, and waste, lying around to attract your new furry friends. In Northern America there is a real bear problem, and a set of safeguards to protect yourself.
Bad situation to lie in your tent and hear things, been there, better to make some noise and have a look. Use a torch. Your wolf may turn out to be a squirrel.
More of a threat to your wellbeing is the animals, wild and domestic, crossing your road. Not to mention the urban predators on two legs, drunks and druggies, or just loony or hatefull.
Hope this helps
Safe travels

Dont worry Wolves are more worried about you and are very shy, just do basic things like dont leave food out when you have finished eating. if you are really worried then once you have stopped to cook/eat then ride upwind to camp somewhere else
