“BAZAAR WILL RETURN TO ITS OLD LIVE DAYS”
Bekir Ödemiş, Head of the Department of Cultural and Natural Heritage, gave information about what to do in the 60-year-old Anafartalar Municipality Bazaar.
“It is a bazaar with 60 years of history. It has a very special place. But as you can see, the 60-year-old bazaar had lost its original texture, especially because it had been neglected for a long time and due to the later additions. As part of the other works of our Honorable President Mansur Yavaş in Ulus, we are doing our renovation work here as well. Our aim is to reorganize this special bazaar, which has a very special place in Ankara's city history, according to its original texture, and to restore it to its old vibrant days, to the place it deserves in Ankara shopping history."
