The Turkish Version of Vendetta

Sinan Çaya

Vandettas (feuds), based on collective revenge, are among ancient characteristic traits of primitive or
underdeveloped societies. In rural sections of Turkey the tradition still lingers in some remote places, despite
diminishing tendencies along the course of modernization. Psychological and sociological considerations seem to co-work to perpetuate it.
