Imbros or İmroz, officially changed to Gökçeada since 29 July 1970, (older name in Turkish: İmroz; Greek: Ίμβρος Imvros), is the largest island of Turkey and the seat of Gökçeada District of Çanakkale Province. It is located in the Aegean Sea, at the entrance of Saros Bay and is also the westernmost point of Turkey (Cape İncirburnu). Imbros has an area of 279 km2 (108 sq mi) and contains some wooded areas.
According to the 2014 census, the island-district of Gökçeada has a population of 8,644. The main industries of Imbros are fishing and tourism. The population is predominantly Turkish but there are still about 300 Greeks on Imbros, most of them elderly, but including some families with children. The island was primarily inhabited by ethnic Greeks from ancient times through to approximately the 1960s, when many emigrated to Greece, western Europe, the United States and Australia, due to a campaign of state-sponsored discrimination. The Greek Imbriot diaspora is thought to number some 15,000.
Guarantee is just a crutch for you if you can't handle drugs
That's why I'm goin out on a limb
Cause that's where all the fools
Prejudice is as strings
For all you muppets to cling
Cause you're all in a sting
And loves a state of being
Don't need to travel round the world
To realise the sky is blue
Everywhere where ever we move
Feelings of approve
Please ?? open your heart
When your happiness comes
Go on and treat yourself to a face lift and smile
Come on and smile
Come on and smile
Come on and smile
