In this photo taken Friday, Oct. 15, 2010, Turkish farmer Muharrem Sevim, center, is helped by his wife Naciye, left, as they feed their animals in front of an abandoned house in Tuzkoy, a poor village in Nevsehir province, Turkey. Nearly half of deaths in this impoverished village and two others nearby are from a rare cancer known as mesothelioma, which can be caused by a mineral that's found in abundance in the area. Local authorities are so alarmed that a relocation of all residents is underway. (AP Photo/Burhan Ozbilici)AP - The caves, rock houses and fantastical stone formations in Turkey’s Cappadocia draw tourists from around the world. Nestled among the natural wonders, however, lies a village where the earth is believed to deliver death rather than rewards.
