Turkish "Citizens Advice "

[Chucky]

Has anyone heard of or used this service? This info was posted on another forum.
Alo179 is its name and they speak English amongst other languages such as Russian, German and Dutch etc. It is advertises a 24hr service and the sole purpose is to help foreigners who live in Turkey. It is a helpline/service for foreigners in reality and covers any subject matter You can only use them from within Turkey and the email is alo.179@hotmail.com. Telephone number is 179 all work undertaken is free and they strive to act the same day you give them a complaint either against the government or individuals.
If you are having problems in court etc then forward the info with court numbers etc and they have the power to demand your case files apparently.
They will take on or advise you on problems you are experiencing with rogue builders or utilities, in fact they have quite a broad remit.
I am not sure whether you can use them in Kalkan or if they only operate in certain areas, as it is a pilot scheme. They have offices in other areas.
They are actively looking for cases to take on so that they can prove it (the service) needs extending.
you can call for ambulance, fire brigade, gendarmes and police.
Sounds interesting, I think there was mention of it in the Fethiye Times.
