[-empyre-] who owns the city? (Istanbul)

[Ana Valdés]

I am bit curious about how did the people who travelled to Istanbul for the
first time experienced the city itself, Turkey and all the contradictions
and the multiple layers of meaning residing in this old city where all the
remnants of it's past are crumbling away. As you know many Turks want to be
a part of Europe and join the EC, but many others want keep the country's
isolation.

eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will always long
to return.
