My mom is a seamstress, and she made a dress for Lila ~30 years ago for one of her formal events. She works out of her house in Strovolos and Lila and her security entourage visited her during the whole process multiple times. It was surreal to see her and my mom have coffee and biscuits in our living room. The president even called my mom to express his thanks because Lila really enjoyed the experience.
Ι hope our media use this and portray us as an eternal ally of the chosen people so that USA will not dare to arm Turkey against us again.
Ah idolisation of a person of the upper class for their gender, religion, minority status, and their supposedly illustrious life as an individual from a well off and prominent family. Whose Tuesday evening would be complete without some feel-good individualistic liberal identity politics? I’m sure it makes all of us feel a lot better about the threat of war on the horizon and the massive looming capitalist crisis that will exclusively affect us ordinary working and middle class people (so not people like her) to know how much an upper class Jewish woman of Indian descent can achieve in a foreign country as the wife of a representative of the ruling class and a bureaucrat of its state 🥰
