<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; &gt;Well, it seems more like one of Arif&#39;s virtual enclaves to me. The<br/>
&gt; &gt;treaty wording is that the tomb &quot;will be the property of Turkey, and<br/>
&gt; &gt;Turkey will place guards there and will raise the Turkish flag.&quot;<br/>
&gt; &gt;There&#39;s no mention of it being on Turkish soil, so it seems more like<br/>
&gt; &gt;an embassy than an enclave - sitting on top of Syria, rather than<br/>

 </span></blockquote>Yesyesyes. But I think what I&#39;m quoting there *is* Article 9 of the<br/>

their various intricacies. Maybe someone with a tighter grasp could<br/>
maintain a text file of brief descriptions in the Files area?<br/>
(On which theme, I&#39;ve just updated Perfs & Frags in the light of the<br/>
hard information on the new Moldovan exclave that sharp-shooting Peter<br/>
S has turned up for us.)<br/>
