BBC'S JONATHAN HEAD MOVES TO TURKEY

Jonathan Head, the former Bangkok-based BBC correspondent, has moved to Istanbul, Turkey.
In an interview published in the current issue of Dateline, the magazine of the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand, Head, who had been living in Bangkok for six years and covering South East Asia for more than 13 years, says: "There are some surprising parallels (between Bangkok and Istanbul); a conservative establishment, backed by the military, judiciary and bureaucracy, clashing with a flawed, new electoral force, with a revered figure above it all who cannot be criticized. Maybe I will feel right at home!"
During his time in Thailand Head had been the subject of three charges of lese majeste.
