Haluk Levent

The nation is commemorating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Turkish Republic with celebratory events across the country, paying tribute to the country's founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

Commemorations are spread across major cities, bringing citizens together for concerts, parades and public gatherings.

The seventh stop of the Turkish Cultural Road Festival, organized by the Culture and Tourism Ministry in 16 cities this year to contribute to the country's international brand value, will be the central Anatolian province of Nevşehir.

Türkiye Cultural Road Festival starts today with the 12th International Orange Blossom Carnival, which is organized every year in Adana and this year included in the scope of the cultural road events.

Türkiye Cultural Road Festival hits the road today in the southern province of Adana, the first leg of the event, and will continue until April 21 with various events.

The animals that were rescued from the forest fires last summer in the Marmaris, Bodrum and Milas districts of the western province of Muğla are still undergoing treatment at the İzmir Rescued Farm Animals Shelter.

Russia's Alexandrov Ensemble, also known as the Red Army Choir, appeared with Turkish rockstar Haluk Levent on stage before Istanbul residents on Sept. 27 in the first of its series of concerts to be held across the country.

After cancellation of public events such as concerts in the context of precautions against coronavirus in Turkey, the country's musicians start to give online concerts, attracting hundreds and thousands of viewers.

A heartbreaking story behind photos showing a boy cuddling and sleeping with a stray dog on a street in Istanbul's Beşiktaş district has been revealed.

Turkish singer Haluk Levent, who is also the founder of the Anatolia People and Peace Platform (AHBAP), said the group contacted the boy.

"We have not forgotten and will not allow the genocide in Srebrenica to be forgotten," said Altinok Oz, the head of Istanbul's Kartal municipality.

According to Sputnik, which quoted Anadolu, Oz spoke during the unveiling of a monument to the Srebrenica victims.
