One of them was talking about our ancient cities in Turkish history. The symposium will continue for 2 days. The first day takes place in the hall of our municipality. The second day will continue at Marmara University. The benefit of such symposiums is that people tend to forget, but with symposiums, information is refreshed and unknowns are learned. Hopefully, it will shed a new light on our cities with the communiqués to be given at the end. With these symposiums, Allah Almighty grants everyone the opportunity to travel. ”he spoke.
