Congratulations to Consulate General Istanbul employee Ismail Türk, who won 20,000 Turkish Lira on February 11 on Turkey's most-watched game show.  Ismail has been a popular fixture on the show for four months.  Consul General Sharon Wiener and Management Officer Bob Hensley made guest appearances, were interviewed by host Acun Ilıcalı, and opened boxes for Ismail in his quest to win up to 500,000 TL.  Many Consulate staff were in the audience to cheer Ismail on!  The show averages nine million viewers from all parts of Turkey and walks of life.
