Souvenir of Istanbul, Clz

An exciting adventure stretching from Byzantium to Istanbul... A corpse at the feet of the Atatürk statue in Sarayburnu, an ancient pere in his palms... But this corpse is not the last victim, nor is this ancient coin the last coin. .Seven sacrifices, seven rulers, seven coins, seven ancient places. And one thing: the mysterious history of this city.

"We were looking at the city from the sea. Istanbul was in fog... The sea in fog... Our boat in fog. What we could see were the minarets of Sultanahmet, the dome of Hagia Sophia, the towers of Topkapi Palace. The city looked like it had never been looted, destroyed or polluted. With a pure white fog. Nature has covered everything that makes the image ugly. Like a dream that appears for a moment before the sun rises... Like a magical cloud... Like a fairy tale image... Like a newly founded city... Like a fresh start... Young, hopeful, beautiful...

We were looking at Istanbul from the sea. We were looking at the faces of our dead... At our own sorrow in their eyes. We were looking at our helplessness, the poverty growing in our hands, the cowardice sprouting in our blood... We were looking at the life that was taken from us... Our sunny days, the mornings full of hope, the fun spring evenings... We were looking at our fading memories, our dying dreams, our shattered dreams... Our fading memories, our dying dreams. "We were looking at ourselves, whom we had lost along with our city, as we carried our shattered dreams to our city that was moving away from us like a tired boat..."
