DAY 156

30.05.2017 Doriko - Feres, Greece. Marching straight east, near the border with Turkey. We have all waited for the important decisions to be taken. The march wasn't exactly doing what many members believed it suposed to do - march through Turkey to Aleppo, without the Turkish administration's permission. Due to unsolved fierce discussions in Thessaloniki and constant lack of approval by the CMFA leaders to march through Turkey, marchers were upset. Permission obtaining process performed by Edgard in Ankara was dubious. Coming of Anna, founder of the CMFA, brought some hope for a change. Soon it turned out that the ordinary marchers won't have a chance to vote down the majority decision. GPS Track: https://www.endomondo.com/users/13828223/workouts/933819648
