Angelina Jolie in Turkey Pictures

Angelina Jolie Welcomed as "Goodness Angel of the World" by Refugees in Turkey

June 17, 2011

Angelina Jolie got quite the warm reception as she arrived in Turkey today to visit with Syrian refugees. An enormous banner calling her "goodness angel of the world" was strung up to mark her arrival — check out a picture of it in the gallery. Angelina is overseas with the rest of the Jolie-Pitts while Brad gets to work filming World War Z in nearby Malta, so she took the quick trip as part of her work with the UNHCR. The Jolie-Pitts are setting up camp in Malta, which meant Angelina took the kids to a toy store to pick up goodies for the reported $11 million mansion they're renting.

LOL. She does so much for PR, but her humanitarian work is genuine, I believe. Turkey is just kissing ass. They want attention and I don't blame them, it is needed.

She truly cares and I admire that. Most actors couldn't give a crap about the Middle East, excluding Israel. Hello its Hollywood. But Angelina is different. You'll never catch the news reporting about refugees.

I used to be hater but I have to admire Angelina. She puts her money where her mouth is and does a great job as a UN ambassador. I now thinks she's the real deal and one amazing woman. Kudos to her for her good works.

Joanna, I'm not sure I see your point. Whether or not you like Jolie, she's famous and often in publications. She's here, right now, photographed going to visit refugees. Which hopefully will spur people to go to a news outlet and read what's going on in Syria. It's the same thing any celebrity would do...Matt Damon and George Clooney included...Yes, of course it's for their PR and their own 'image' but that doesn't mean it's still not benefitting people in need...and for the record, I'm NOT a Jolie fan and don't think she's an exceptional actress, but I am very glad she's using her fame to LITERALLY shed light on situations (aka, being photographed reaching out in Syria, for example)

How much has sheding light helped excepted for her image? Matt Damon and George Clooney did the same for awhile but haven't heard much about them lately?

Say what you want about her personal life, she does a lot of volunteering and helping shed light on many of the issues around the world.
