    I'm from Turkey and Malini always asked people if they belonged to the West or the East. Choosing one side always means losing the other side, so Turkey has a chance not to choose one side. We are both East and West, we have lived through such a century and we will continue to live like this.

    The Cow , Chapter 2 , Revealed at Al-Madinah by The Holy Spirit ( Angel Gabriel ) to the Last Prophet Muhammed a.s in the early 7th century ; In the name of Allah The Beneficent The Merciful : 115. Unto Allah belong The East and The West , and whithersoever ye turn , there is Allah ' s Countenance. Lo ! Allah is All - Embracing , All - Knowing . 116. And they say : Allah hath taken unto Himself a son . Be HE Glorified ! Nay , but whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth is His . All are subservient unto Him. 117. The Originator of the heavens and the earth ! When He decreeth a thing , He saith unto it only : Be ! And it is . The Glorious Qur'an

    What makes Istanbul stand out as a fab city, is it’s heritage, culture and values. I hope it never loses it’s identity as a city that has a deep and beautiful soul. No other city comes close to the richness like Istanbul.

    I am in love with Istanbul! My love for Turkish culture began when I was 12 years old when my sister's Albanian friend introduced me to one of Tarkan's songs. I finally got a chance to travel to Istanbul when I was in university for an exchange semester in 2015. I've been coming back ever since. I finally moved to Turkey a few months ago to Tekirdag. Hoping in the next 2-3 years I'll be able to move to Istanbul, Beykoz ideally.
