- Hi, none of the reforms were changed back. And I have not seen a single fez during the 25 years I spent in Turkey, except in historical movies. The dervishes mentioned in the article are quite different from the "spinning dervishes" of today (which I see as a tourist attraction). The Mevlevi article says they were given permission to perform since the 1950s. Atilim Gunes Baydin 11:51, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
