           OMG! Turkish censors asleep at the switch!

In raids conducted by the Gendarmerie in the hinterlands
on Anatolia,  3,250 coins from the Ottoman, East Rome, and 
Byzantine periods were recovered, along with a painting 
claimed to be a Pablo Picasso masterpiece (!). 

In simultaneous Gendarmerie raids in 14 provinces of  east 
and southeast Anatolia, 21 suspects were pursued and taken
into custody - 19 of them were released after giving statements
and the other two were brought before a judge but released
under judicial supervision. 

The raid in Bayburt yielded the  purported Picasso painting, 
which is now being evaluated by experts to determine whether 
it is an authentic product of that great master. The suspects 
sought to sell it for 6 million Euros.

No doubt painted during Picasso's "Bayburt Period".
