Aksaray

A historical Ottoman carpet has been restored by a team of 10 in the Central Anatolian province of Aksaray’s Sultanhanı district, considered the world’s largest carpet restoration center.

The restoration of the 120-square-meter Hereke carpet went on for 18 months.

The Selime Cathedral, high atop the Ihlara Valley, was a space of refuge and defense for Anatolia’s earliest Christians

Kiyaki, an 18-month-old dog of the rare Akasaray Malaklısı breed, the largest canine breed in Anatolia, has had an eye operation.

During the one hour operation, a hernia in Kiyaki’s eye was removed by İbrahim Demirkan, dean professor at the Veterinary Faculty of Aksaray University.
