Archaeological excavations in the ancient city of Laodicea, located in the Eskihisar neighborhood in the western province of Denizli and added to the UNESCO World Heritage Temporary list in 2013, are continuing at a 10-meter-long sacred Agora on an area of 35,000 square meters.

Environment and Energy Minister Panos Skourletis told Greek newspaper Agora that the agreement for Independent Power Transmission Operator (ADMIE) has closed and its implementation is underway. He said that the deal clearly states that the Public Power Corporation is to be compensated.

The İzmir Agora excavations have unearthed the Smyrna assembly, where decisions were made during the Roman Empire. The excavations have been carried out by Dokuz Eylül University Archaeology Department's Smyrna Ancient City excavation team and, so far, 50 percent of the area has been unearthed. The agora is expected to be completely unearthed in the next five years.

A 2,000-year-old kitchen, which dates back to the late Roman era, has been discovered in the ancient city of Sagalassos in the southern province of Burdur.

Excavations in the ancient city started in early June, but the discovery of the kitchen was only reported last month.

“Imagine if someone would launch an attack on the Athens airport, on Acropolis, on ancient Agora, with 2,500 missiles, within three weeks. It is unbelievable. Imagine that Turkey launches an attack tomorrow, you will have to defend yourselves and protect yourselves.”
