Mayor of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Tunç Soyer, participated in the preliminary meeting of the Bornova Culture Island project, which was prepared under the leadership of the World City Izmir Association, the Levantines Association and the Service Sector Employees Education and Solidarity Association in order to bring the historical and cultural values of Bornova to tourism.

Tunç Soyer“The idea of the Bornova Culture Island Project is very valuable. SözcüClerk is also chosen correctly. Perhaps one of the strongest aspects of the project is that it will be carried out with non-governmental organizations. Levantines are the yeast that makes İzmir İzmir. If we live in this city with the climate and culture that we describe as many colors, many sounds, many breaths, and if people from all over Turkey want to come to Izmir today, it is because it is yeast. In other words, it is because there is a climate that sees these differences as a wealth.”
President Tunç Soyer“There is a need for a festival where we will bring everything from its gastronomy to its history, from its dance to its culture and introduce its beauties to the people of Izmir. This shouldn't just be fun. It should also be a meeting place where history and all these processes are discussed and Levantine heritage is discussed. It should be supported by a scientific study. We are ready to host this festival and congress,” he said.
