Note:

A lot more about kefil. Everyone has to have one, and the Arabs thus exploit the Turks. [The more "formal" the employers, the less the angst.]
Lots of references to their beastliness. One or two people said "no problem".
i(0271 Salih) according to i(5279 Nazife) working on kefil's house - no pay.
[Possibly the kefil takes his cut first?]
i(0186 Hayrullah) has similar problems. i(0287 Mahir Tufan) and i(0139 Meht. Gškpinar) have none.
i(0286 Nazim): i(0287 Mahir) sent 100,000TL in 7 (?) weeks, and 300,000 more will follow in a couple of months or so. Rates of return roughly confirmed.
