adana

They have incredible subcultures, Istanbul is a great city, or the beautiful lake Adana with it's kind people.

It is not about a park or a shopping mall, you hear about Istanbul because that’s where 1/4 of the country lives in there are protests in Ankara Izmir Eskisehir Adana etc.

Early on, Armenians had perceived the CUP as allies;[citation needed] and the beginnings of the Genocide, in the 1909 Adana massacre, had been rooted in reactionary Ottoman backlash against the Young Turks.

Which ends up very interesting given the Aegean style pottery made with local clay in Tel Dan, the mention of Dan staying on their ships in Judges 5, the descendent of Moses going with Dan in Judges 18, and then the Denyen sea peoples in Adana recording their rulers as belonging to the House of Mopsus.

I've found that pretty much all Turkish places (be it a kebap shop or a restaurant, snack shop, etc.) usually sells Ayran, it's what I usually get with kebap / iskender / adana, it helps with some of the spicy sauces.

- Hamidian massacres (1894) - Armenian–Tatar massacres (1905-1907) - Adana massacre (1909) - Armenian genocide (1914–1923) - September Days (1918) - Khaibalikend massacre (1919) - Destruction of Armenian part of Shusha (1920) Preceding that you also have the Russian conquests in the Caucasus during the first half of the 19th century.

That Adavio account belongs to a young computer engineering student and “SEO expert” based in Adana, Turkey who did not respond to requests for comment.

Dawkins, a Cambridge linguist who conducted research on the Cappodocian Greek natives in the area from 1909-1911, recorded that in 1909, "when the news came of the recent massacres at Adana, a great part of the population at Axo took refuge in these underground chambers, and for some nights did not venture to sleep above ground."

Sure weird that a lot of the sea peoples conquered territories were then named for Mopsus/Muksus, including the Denyen of Adana who centuries later still had a ruling "House of Mopsus." I wonder if that has anything to do with Dan, who "stayed on their ships" in the Song of Deborah - the earliest part of the Bible, in Judges 18 ending up with a grandson of Moses as chief priest.

Our team travelled to Adana, Iskenderun and Osmaniye, cities between 70km (43 miles) and 150km (93 miles) away from the epicentre.

Adana, Gaziantep & Mersin are the largest cities there, neither is Kurdish-dominated.

There's lots of people, especially in Istanbul and the capital city of Ankara, but also in others including Izmir, Bursa, Antalya and my hometown, Adana.
