Stones and window in the Hagia Sofia.

In June 2015 I shot some medium format rolls in the Hagia Sofia (church/mosque/museum/mosque, depending on the era), Istanbul.

This is one of the least spectacular little corners, but shows the history of the place. All around the city, places are built on top of and using pieces of older places.

Israel made it unequivocally clear that any change in the deployment of foreign forces in Syria – and in particular the establishment of Turkish bases in the Palmyra area – is a red line and will be considered a breaking of the rules.”

Breaking of the rules !?!?!?!?

Israel is complaining about rules ?

@batuhancoskun and @hasan : I guess it's never too late to learn more about your country and it's people.

Probably most people in the Netherlands, like me, who have never visited Türkiye (or did, but visited touristic places only) have some vague idea of what your country "is about".

I've been lucky to have had colleagues with Turkish roots, but their background (their parents often are very conservative) does not necessarily represent the feelings of the "average" Turkish citizen - of course "average" is a too gross simplification.

I'm looking forward to learning more! I'll be using the "translate" button for toots in Turkish to learn more about you and your country. The internet has a lot of issues (I've seen a lot of scams targeting Turkish people), but being able to communicate with individuals all over the world is a nice feature.

Anyway, nice to meet you!
