The Book of Erzurum

The Book of Erzurum

The responsibility we feel when thinking of Erzurum, where our grandfathers, fathers, elders, and friends of God lived, stands before us like a mountain. 

This city of bravery and integrity, where we have wandered for many years in its uniquely winding streets, is a source of pride for every Erzurum resident. 

This city holds the endless hardships of Anatolia. We have all experienced these pains, neglects, deceptions, and betrayals. We all know the feelings expressed by a poet who said, "There is no hope left in the addresses in my pocket." 

This book has been prepared to provide a bouquet for future generations, enabling them to know their roots and culture, to love one another, and to live honorably and bravely in Erzurum, just like their ancestors, in solidarity. 

This book attempts to present the history, geography, population, economic and social life, folklore, houses, and important figures of Erzurum. It also includes a selection of writings about Erzurum.
