Bol seyahatli günler diliyoruz Dear friends of Dedeman, There are constant quarrels between those who prefer warming up in the heat and those who prefer to stay cool in the snow. However, spring is the winner of this disagreement, the compromise. The last ember falls and spring begins We have prepared this issue for you to enjoy on the most joyful, peaceful, calm and beautiful spring days. Our topics this month are extremely intriguing. For example, we have investigated the new Borusan Music House that has opened in the past months in stanbul. This venue is said to have introduced a very diverse vision of what culture and art venues are normally known to be like. From there we checked out the auction scene of Turkey, and visited auction houses to enjoy the art on offer The travel routes in our issue this month are Iran and Cappadocia. For a fashion photo shoot we traveled to Gaziantep, and for a food photo shoot we headed over to Konya. We have some more good news for our hotels. In the last month, we celebrated our first year in Syria with a gala dinner organization. I would also like to point out that with our three hotels in Damascus, Aleppo and Palmyra, we have also been fortunate enough to branch out with our hotel chain into Syria. We wish you days full of plenty of travel Tamer Yürüko lu Genel Müdür / General Manager Dedeman Hotels & Resorts International

O wning a piece of artwork and not just one with a fixed price, but rather one that has a price which has been decided upon by other desperate bidders Auctions haven t been taking place in Turkey for long, but they are growing with popularity every day. This piece is about the development of auctions in Turkey and includes a list of auction houses as well Art isn t just something you observe and discuss; rather, it is something people want to own as well. Auctions are perfect for those who aren t satisfied with going to museums to see works of art; rather, if you don t count theft, auctions are the only way to become an owner of a piece of art. If you take it one step further, becoming an art collector isn t just a personal satisfaction, but rather an investment. So much so that the art world now competes with the finance world. Of course auction houses have played a large part in this development. YAZI-BY CEYLAN ÖZGE KUNDUZ

14 B RAZ TAR H A LITTLE HISTORY Auctioneering actually goes back quite far, to 500BC, to the time of Babil and ancient Rome. Of course what was on auction back then is quite different to what is put on auction today. Young women were auctioned off for marriage in Babil and in Rome war criminals were auctioned off as slaves, so in essence auctioning, as we know it today only dates back to the 17 th century. With the ending of the slowing down of the creation of art in the Middle Ages, there was a new explosion of art creation. And auctioning found life again in the 17 th century. After the French revolution, at the end of the 18 th century, auctions were held in the meeting points, such as cafes or taverns. These auctions took place daily; the objects that were to be auctioned off were mentioned in a catalog that was distributed to potential bidders. These catalogs were so detailed they themselves were even considered works of art and provided ample information about the items to be auctioned. Müzayedecilik asl nda çok eski zamanlara, M.Ö. 500 lü y llara, Babil e ve antik Roma devrine dek uzan yor. Ne var ki o zaman sat fla ç kar lan parçalar bugüne göre çok farkl. Babil de genç k zlar n evlilik amac yla, Roma da da savafl esirlerinin köle olarak sat lmas ya da borçlar n borçlunun mallar n n sat fla ç kart larak tahsil edilmesi aç k art rma ile sat fl n ilk örnekleri oldu ancak gerçek anlam yla müzayedecilik 17. yüzy lda ortaya ç kt. Ortaça dönemindeki sanatsal durgunlu un bitifliyle sanatsal üretim yeniden canlanm fl, 17. yüzy lla birlikte müzayedecilik bugünkü flekliyle yeniden hayat buldu. Frans z Devrimi nden k sa bir süre sonra, 18. yüzy l n sonlar nda müzayedeler, dönemin buluflma noktalar olan café lerde ve meyhanelerde yap l yordu. Bu müzayedeler günlük olarak düzenleniyordu ve sat lacak olan parçalar bir katalog haline getiriliyor ve ilgilenenlere sunuluyordu. Bu kataloglar n kendisi bile sanat eseri de erindeydi ve sat fla ç kart lacak parçalarla ilgili çok detayl bilgiler içeriyordu. Bunlar biliyor muydunuz? Resmî kay tlara göre 1693'te Lord Melford'a ait bir resim koleksiyonunun Whitehall'da müzayedeye ç kar l fl, bugün müzayedecili in ilk örne i olarak kabul ediliyor. Dünyan n ilk müzayede evi bugün halen faaliyette olan Stockholms Auktionsverk (Stokholm Müzayede Evi). 1674 te sveç te kurulan müzayede evi bugün Avrupa n n en baflar l lar aras nda yer al yor. Stokholm Müzayede Evi ni takip eden Sotheby s oldu. Bugün dünyan n ikinci büyük müzayede evi olan Sotheby s ilk müzayedesini 1744 te gerçeklefltirdi. Bugün dünyan n en büyük müzayede evi olan Christie s 1766 da kuruldu. Bugün halen faaliyette olan müzayede evlerinden baz lar n n kurulufl tarihi: Dorotheum (1707), Bonhams (1793), Phillips de Pury & Company (1796), Freeman's (1805) ve Lyon & Turnbull (1826). Amerikan ç Savafl s ras nda ordular n ele geçirdi i mallar bölü ün albay (colonel) taraf ndan aç k art rmada sat fla ç kart l yordu. Bugün Amerika Birleflik Devletleri nde baz müzayedecilerin resmî olmayan colonel (albay) unvan n tafl malar da bu yüzden.. Türkiye de müzayedecilikse Osmanl dönemine dayan yor. Kapal çarfl da, ç Bedesten de bafllayan aç k art rmal sat fllar o dönemdeki belediyeler flehremanetlere ba l tellallar taraf ndan idare ediliyordu. Mal n satmak isteyen tellala teslim eder, tellal da Kapal çarfl daki dükkanlar tek tek gezerek en yüksek fiyata satard. 1934 te ç kart lan Mezat Talimatnamesi yle bu faaliyet Kapal çarfl Mezat Müdürlü ü olarak bilinen yerde Hal, Mücevher ve Eflya fiubeleri aç larak sürdürülmeye bafllad. Bugünse müzayedeler Türkiye de genellikle genifl, ferah ve sofistke bir ortam sunan otel salonlar nda gerçeklefltiriliyor. 15 Nas l yap l r? Müzayedelerde genellikle müzayedeye bir parça için belirlenen fiyat n beflte bir eksi iyle bafllan yor. Kat l mc lar fiyat yükseltiyor ve bilindi i gibi sat lan parça, en yüksek miktar ödeyenenin mülkiyetine geçiyor. Parçay almaya hak kazanan kifli, parçan n de erinin dörtte birini ve son art fl miktar n da peflinat olarak ödüyor. Müzayedeler sadece al m-sat m yap lan yerler de il. Heyecanl bir rekabet, sonucun belirsizli inin damarlara pompalad adrenalin, sanat dünyas ve piyasas ndaki son haberler ve dedikodular duyma flans ve iyi bir parçaya sahip olma ihtimali müzayedeleri heyecanl ve keyifli bir aktiviteye dönüfltürüyor.

Did you know? 16 According to official records, a painting belonging to Lord Melford, which was placed on auction in Whitehall in 1693, is considered the first example of auctioning. The world s first auction house, Stockholms Auktionsverk (Stockholm Auction House), is still in use today. Created in 1674 in Sweden, the auction house is one of Europe s most successful auction houses today. Sotheby s is right behind Stockholm Auction House at second place. Sotheby s conducted its first auction in 1744. The world s largest auction house, Christies, was formed in 1766. Here is a list of auction houses and dates of creation: Dorotheum (1707), Bonhams (1793), Phillips de Pury & Company (1796), Freeman s (1805) and Lyon & Turnbull (1826). During the American Civil War, objects obtained by the army were put up for auction by the colonel. This is why some unofficial auctioneers in the United States are still called colonel. In Turkey, auctioning goes back to the Ottoman times. The auctions began at the Iç Bedesten in the Covered Bazaar and were officiated by the city government. Those who wanted to sell an object got in contact with a broker, who then went from one shop to the next in the Covered Bazaar looking for the highest bidder. According to the Auction Regulatory Statute enacted in 1934, rugs, jewelry and other objects were also added to the list of items auctioned, within the area controlled by the Covered Bazaar Auction Management. Today in Turkey, auctions are generally held in larger, refreshing and sophisticated areas such as hotel lounges. How are they done? Normally, the price of the item up for auction is determined, and the starting price is 1/5 of that price. The bidders raise the price as they bid and naturally the highest bidder receives the item. The winner pays 1/4 of the price of the item s worth up front, as well as the amount the item was officially settled upon. Auction houses aren t just places where objects are purchased and sold. They have become places were those in the art world congregate, gossip and catch up, as well as a venue for excitement, adrenaline and the latest in the art world is discussed.

DQ Haberciden haberler! 20 RÖPORTAJ- INTERVIEW 21 Tehlikeye gözü kapal atlayan adam Dünyan n en kanl savafllar na bizim yerimize tan kl k eden, yapt klar yla herkesin Coflkun Abisi olmay baflaran Coflkun Aral la her fleyden ve özellikle yeni ç kard yemek kitab ndan konufltuk. News from the newsman! He s the man who dives headfirst into danger He s the man who reports from the front lines of the most horrific war sites for us. We spoke to the man officially known as Coflkun Aral, who everyone fondly calls Coflkun Abi, about everything and in particular his newly released cookbook. RÖPORTAJ - INTERVIEWED BY GÜNEfi FINDIKO LU FOTO RAFLAR - PHOTOGRAPY MURAT TEK N nternetin güvenilir kaynaklar nda Coflkun Aral ad n aray nca flunlar ç k yor: Uluslararas savafl foto rafç s, gezgin, macera insan, belgesel yap mc s. Sizce en çok hangisisiniz? Ya da bunlar n d fl nda bir tan mlama yapmak ister misiniz kendinize? Kendimi rahatl kla haberci olarak tan mlayabilirim. Çünkü kendimi her türlü ortamdan bilgi, belge tafl y p ihtiyaç duyanlara aktarmakla yükümlü bir insan olarak görüyorum. yi foto rafç de ilim, iyi bir muhabir oldu umu da söyleyemem, gazeteci flu anda hiç de ilim, televizyonculu u ise hasbel kader yap yorum. O yüzden kendimi en çok haberci olarak tan mlayabilirim. Savafl foto rafç s olmaya karar vermek zor bir seçim de il mi? Hayat zaten pek e lenceli de il çünkü Bizimki gibi hamaseti yüksek; onurlanma, böbürlenme gibi duygular n yüksek oldu u yerlerde savafla giden herkes kahramanm fl gibi bir yak flt rma yap l yor. Böyle diyenleri de k nam yorum. Sonuç olarak benim yaflam mda paparazilik de, 3 günlük futbol muhabirli i de, bir albüm için yapt m hayvanlarla ilgili çekimlerim de var. K sacas herfleyi yapt m ama bizim ülkemizde kahramanl k hikayelerinin biraz fazla talep görmesi ya da insanlar n korktuklar fleyleri yapan insanlar kahraman gibi gördüklerinden beni daha çok böyle adland rmaya merakl olduklar n düflünüyorum. Ben temel olarak insan olmak istiyorum. Savafl an nda çok feci bir görüntüyle burun buruna kal p so ukkanl l kla foto raf çekmek yerine, yard m etmeye çal flt n z oldu mu hiç? Ya da enteresan baflka bir an n z var m? Savaflta ister istemez insan böyle durumlarla karfl karfl ya kalabiliyor. So ukkanl l kla çekim yapmaya devam etti im, çekemedi im ya da herfleyi b rak p Upon entering your name into trusted search engines online, we found these results: international war photographer, traveler, adventure man, documentary producer. Which one do you think best describes you? Or would you prefer to describe yourself in a different manner? I would feel comfortable calling myself a messenger. Because no matter the situation, I feel obligated to discover the relevant information for those desiring it. I m not a good photographer, and I wouldn t say that I m a very good reporter; currently, I m not a journalist either, and I m only a TV broadcaster, by chance. Thus, I feel most comfortable describing myself as a reporter. Was the decision to become a war photographer a difficult one? Life is hard as it is, already In a country like ours where honor, arrogance and heroism are valued, everyone who goes to war is considered a hero. And I can t blame people like this. At the end of the day, the way I make my living means my portfolio might include paparazzi shots, 3-day football reporting or even animal photoshoots. In short, I ve done many things in my career; however, the fact that our country loves hero stories makes people quick to label me a certain way. I just want to be a human being, first. During battle, are there ever any times where there is a really horrific sight in front of you, and instead of taking a photo, you instinctively help out first? Or perhaps you have another interesting story? During war you will face situations like this whether you want it or not. There were times I had to remain cool under the circumstances to get my shot, and times when I couldn t and just broke down crying. There was one time in particular where I was called a hero by one of the local newspapers without my knowledge. During an attack in Lebanon, I saved a man. Of course I wasn t there to save anyone, rather my instincts and vicinity allowed me to open the car door and save the injured man inside. I only realized what it must have looked like afterwards; I m not some hero. The other event was something every reporter thinks about but can t imagine happening. I was a witness to a plane being hijacked in 1980. I even interviewed the hijackers. We were captive in the plane for around 12 hours. After this we were allowed to leave the plane and I was placed under surveillance. This is how I came about my stay at the Diyarbak r Cezaevi (prison). Can you tell us about creating Iz TV? I started this project with my friends from the news program I worked for. We used to run into many

Haberci program n birlikte yapt m arkadafllar mla böyle bir giriflimimiz oldu. Eskiden Türkiye de belgesel yaparken çok büyük zorluklar çekiyorduk.

Keflke bir belgesel kanal olsayd da yapt m z belgeselleri yay nlayabilseydik derken arkadafllar m z yay nc firmayla konuflup böyle bir kanal n kuruluflunda destek alm fllar.

Türkiye deki belgeselcilik sizce ne noktada? zleyici, z Tv ile belgesel izlemeye bafllad deniyor, kat l yor musunuz? Ben buna kat lm yorum çünkü Türkiye gibi 70 milyon nüfusa sahip bir ülkede, dünya ile k yaslad n z zaman ihtiyaç duymaktan bahsediyorum. Sadece belgesel de il, okumaya ihtiyaç duymak, merakl olmak, ö renmeye istekli olmak gibi fleylerin emaresinin okunmad ülkemizde ne yaz k ki belgesel izleyicisi de o kadar düflük. nsanlar m z bedelini düflünmeksizin bir gecede zengin olmay planl yorlar. Dolay s yla böyle bir ülkede belgeselcili e soyunmak Don Kiflotçuluk oynamak gibi bir durum. Vazgeçemeyecekleriniz var m? Bir aile reisiyim ve çok sevdi im bir k z m var. En büyük tutkum ailem ancak ne yaz k ki ifl yo unlu um dolay s yla onlara yeterince vakit ay ramad m düflündü üm için üzülüyorum.

We couldn t find a channel to run the documentary, or we were asked to pay to have it aired. One day we had the idea to start a documentary channel so we could air our own productions and one of my friends just happened to meet with a producer who ended up supporting our project. Then I was invited to be the channel s coordinator. It was the first time in the world that a channel was created for something that is seen as a punishment and not supported by the people- I m not saying country but rather people, because they are the ones who make these decisions. We gambled on whether something like this would work and we won. Where would you say documentary filmmaking is at today in Turkey? People have shown a greater interest in them thanks to Iz TV, would you agree? I don t agree with this statement because I m talking about comparing our country of 70 million with the rest of the world. It s not just documentaries, but the fact that people in our country don t feel the need to read, aren t curious and don t want to learn, are symptoms of the problem. There are so few interested in watching documentaries. Our people dream of becoming rich overnight. There s so little interest in documentary filmmaking in this country that it s almost as absurd an ambition or desire as wanting to be Don Quixote.

fl seyahatleri, sosyal sorumluluklar d fl nda vakit buldu um zaman, mümkün oldu u kadar ailemle hofluma giden yerlerde olmay tercih ediyorum. Sizden belgesel, sergi, TV program bekliyorduk da yemek kitab beklemiyorduk. Nereden ç kt bu proje? Biraz kitab n z tan t r m s n z? Yemekle çok hafl r neflir bir insan m. Çocuk denilebilecek bir yaflta tek bafl ma yaflamay ö rendi imden, bu süre boyunca tatlar buluflturmay baflard m.

Mesela annem Siirtli ama kökeninin bir taraf Karadeniz e dayan yor, ailemize Orta Anadolu dan, Ege den gelen akrabalarla da sofram z oldukça zenginleflti ve bu kitap da böylece ortaya ç kt. En çok sevdi iniz yemek ne? Annemin yemeklerini, özellikle de çorbas n gitti im her yerde arar m. Gerçi o yemekleri de ben yapabiliyorum ama bizim gibi ülkelerde her çocu un kafas nda bir anne lezzeti vard r. Ben de o yüzden en çok annemin yemeklerini seviyorum. Seyahatleriniz boyunca yemifl oldu unuz de iflik fleyler var m? Yemek zorunda kald m fleyler oldu elbette. Nas l ki Gaziantep te yap lan katmeri yemek zorundaysam, ban yerlileri aras na girdi imde de maymun ya da It was the first time in the world that a channel was created for something that is seen as a punishment and not supported by the people- I m not saying country but rather people, because they are the ones who make these decisions. We gambled on whether something like this would work and we won. What can you not live without? I m the head of my family and I have a daughter whom I love dearly. My biggest passion is my family unfortunately I m not able to spend as much time with them as I d like, and this upsets me. Outside of my work travels and social responsibility projects, I enjoy spending as much time as I can with my family. We would expect a documentary, exhibit or even TV program from you, but not a cookbook. How did this project come about? Can you tell us about your book? I m someone who loves food. I started living on my own at an age when I was still a child, really, and since then have been combining flavors. For example, there were dishes that I didn t like, and after some experimenting I found a way to like them. I first tried to cook leeks with lots of lemon, and then sliced it and stuffed it into kad n budu köfte (meat and rice croquettes) but both of these experiments were done so I could figure out a way to enjoy leeks. In the book I try to explain the richness brought to our kitchens from the Anatolian kitchen. For example my mother is from Siirt but her roots go back to the Black Sea; our meals were always much riches thanks to our family from Central Anatolia and the Aegean and in this book is a result of these experiences. What are your favorite foods? My mothers food, in particular her soups are my favorite. When it comes down to it, I can make most of the dishes she makes; however, in countries like ours, there is something called anne lezzeti (mom s flavor), which is why I love my mother s dishes the most. köpek yemek zorunday m. Hay r demedim ama çok da tercih etti im fleyler olmad tabii... Maymun yemek zorunda kalmak nas l oluyor? Bilindi i üzere gerek ritüel amaçl gerekse ihtiyaçtan insan eti yeme dünyada hep vard. Papua Yeni Gine nin rian Jaya bölgesinde yaflayan Korowai kabilesini ziyaret edece imiz zaman bölge hakk nda ald m z duyumlar pek de iyi de ildi. Yerel rehbere sordu umuzda ise çevrede görülen kufl türlerinin ve bir tür a ac n içinde bulunan kurtlar n azalmas n n bölgede insan eti yemenin yeniden bafllam fl olabilece i cevab n ald k. Bölgeye giderken do al olarak öyle bir korkuyu tafl d m ancak kendimizi garantiye almak için yan m zda bir domuz götürdük ve görüflmeyi o flekilde gerçeklefltirip sa salim geri dönmeyi baflard k. Tabii karfl l nda sunulan maymunu da geri çeviremedik. Seyahat etmek size ne ifade ediyor? Ben düfllerinde de seyahat eden bir insan m. Dünya üzerinde gitmedi im yer kalmad diyebilirim. Dokunmad m co rafya, dokunmad m kültür çok az kald. fiimdi düflünüyorum da, bunlar yaparken doktor, pilot gibi farkl kimliklerle yapmak isterdim. Gezginler Kulübü ne de üyesiniz, de il mi? Gezginler Kulübü nün kuruluflunda yer ald m. Türkiye gezgin bir toplum olmad ndan, hatta bezgin bir toplum oldu undan Haberci yi bafllatt - m z y llarda böyle bir proje ortaya ç kt. Yurtd fl nda yaflayan, bat düflüncesini bilen, okuyan insanlarda böyle bir merak vard ve Orhan Kural n önderli inde ben de bu kulübe destek oldum ancak flu anda herhangi bir organik ba m yok. fiu an f rsat n z olsa gitmek isteyece iniz ilk destinasyon neresi olur? Özgür bir flekilde Kuzey Kore ye gitmek istiyorum. Rasyonel düflünürsek rehberler taraf ndan gerçeklefltirilecek bir flehir turu ve tan k olaca m gösteriler bana çok turistik geliyor. Özgürce gitme imkan m olsayd gidece im ilk yer Kuzey Kore olurdu. Önümüzdeki dönem projeleriniz neler? fiu anda kendimi tamamen z TV ye entegre etmifl durumday m. Yapabilece im kadar belgesel yap p z TV ye vermeyi düflünüyorum. Are there some crazy things you tried while traveling? There were things I had to eat, of course. Just as you are forced to eat katmer when in Gaziantep, I had to eat monkey and dog while with indigenous people of certain countries. I didn t say no, but they weren t exactly on the top of my list What s it like having to eat monkey? Whether it be for rituals or out of need, there are even times human flesh was eaten. While visiting the Korowai tribe in Papua New Guinea, we found out some things that weren t too comforting. According to our guide, the decline of certain worms in the trees meant people had turned to cannibalism. When I traveled to the area, I had this fear inside of me; however, we took a pig to guarantee that we would have something to eat. Of course we couldn t refuse the monkey that was offered in exchange for the pig we brought. What does traveling mean to you? There isn t a place I haven t been to on this earth. There are few places I haven t touched, or cultures I haven t met. Come to think of it, I would have rather done these travels as a doctor or pilot. You are a member of the Travelers Club of Turkey, right? I was at the inception of the Travelers Club. We started this project before Turkey was a country of travelers- in fact, back when it was a country of discouraged people. People who lived abroad, Western-thinking people who read, had this desire to travel and Orhan Kural was the pioneer in creating this club and I was a supporter however today I am not officially tied to the group. If you could go anywhere today, where would it be? I would want to go to North Korea. If we are thinking rationally, tours arranged with guides are too touristy for me. If I could go freely on my own, and explore, North Korea would be the first place on my list. What are your upcoming projects? Right now I am wholly focused on Iz TV. I plan on making as many documentaries as I can and fully giving myself to Iz TV. 25

Even though the city now lacks the luster it once had when it was home to important poets, philosophers, warriors, kings and roses, it still merits attention with its rich cultural heritage. The entrance portal to Shiraz, the Bâb- Kur ân [Door of the Quran in Arabic], was constructed approximately a thousand years ago. A khan of the Zend Dynasty by the name of Kerim, whose family ruled the center and south of Iran between 1750 and 1794, had placed sections from the Quran in a room above this portal. This structure, which the Persians call the Dervâze-i Kur ân [Door of the Quran in Persian], therefore received its name from this very act of patronage. According to popular belief, a traveler who would embark on his journey through this door would return safely back to Shiraz. Today, entering Shiraz through this portal, which was repaired with the donation of a Shirazi merchant after its collapse in the 1950s, makes one feel a part of the majesty of past centuries. The word Shiraz both means the capital of the Persian State composed of six metropolises, forty-eight cities, sixty towns and one hundred and eighty villages and the secret city [flehr-i raz]. It is nestled in the foothills of the Zagros Mountains, which trace the eastern borders of Mesopotamia. Its population is approximately two million. It is a city famous for its world-renowned ancient artifacts, poets, philosophers and kings. And, what s more are its orchids, oranges and roses. The rose gardens are widespread all around the city. Especially, the ten-kilometer route between the city center and airport, which is lined on both sides with rose gardens, is a beautiful testament to the fact. Having lived amidst the sophisticated traditions of a bustling Shirazi art and culture, artists have produced works of art in and outside of Iran for many centuries. The artifacts in Samarkand and India are perhaps among the best representations of this cultural exchange. Among them the famous Master Isa, one of the architects of the Taj Mahal in India, learned and practiced his craft in Shiraz. This glorious city, which at one time played various roles in the important turning points of Middle-Eastern political history, may not bear its strategic significance today, but it still requires attention, as it possesses a rich cultural heritage born out of its centuries-old history. Information on how and from where today s visitor should begin to experience the city is eagerly provided by its hospitable inhabitants.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE POET-PHILOSOPHER Sadi from Shiraz, was a great man of letters and poet, whose existence will proudly embellish Iranian culture and literature till time immemorial. His two works titled Bostan and Gülistan have placed him alongside Firdawsi, creator of Iran s epic poem, and Haf z- fiirazi, the passionate Shirazi poet, all three forming the trifecta of Iranian poetic genius. Iranian scholars praise Sadi for his ability to point towards the human spirit through his vast knowledge, high-powered thinking, and in-depth observational skills, as well as demonstrate mankind s vices with extraordinary success and captivating manner. The spring located in the garden surrounding Sadi s mausoleum is a must-see. Public visits the site on the last Wednesday of each year and bathe in its waters, which they believe to have curative powers.

A GARDEN OF PARADISE: BA -I IREM Ba - rem is nothing less than a paradise on earth. It has been said that this lavish corner of Shiraz was built by the famous Sultan fieddad bin Âd to parallel the real gardens of paradise. The garden sprawls over thousands of acres of land on the western side of Shiraz with a mirrored pavilion in its center. It has also been said that before the Iranian Revolution Shah Riza Pehlevi s mother resided here, and her son would come here from time to time for some rest. One of the most attractive and beautiful gardens of Shiraz, Ba - rem takes its visitors from the twenty-first century back to bygone eras with its majestic cypress trees, unique roses and water channels. Among these cypresses is one that is particular to Shiraz called the serv-i naz. The tilework on the exterior of the pavilion that depicts the well-known love stories of Yusuf and Zuleyha as well as Ferhad and Shirine, and colorful miniatures allow the visitor to travel back through time to the epic stories of past centuries. THE CASTLE OF ORIENTAL TALES: THE CASTLE OF KERIM KHAN The Castle of Kerim Khan Zend that rests in the center of Shiraz was the residence of Kerim Khan during his rule, as well as the biggest and most important building of the Zend Empire. The Castle sprawls over a site of about four-thousand square meters. Its height reaches twelve meters, its walls are made of brick and in each of its four corners it has fourteen-meters high bastions, all of which still remain intact. Only one of these bastions has a slight bend that reminds one of the Pisa Tower in Italy. It has been suggested that twelve-thousand builders worked on the site during its construction. In the interior courtyard of the castle one finds citrus trees, characteristic of the Mediterranean climate. The pools inside this vast garden, which were indispensable for the Persian palatial culture, offer visual feasts to their contemporary visitors. THE OLD CORE OF THE PERSIAN STATE: PERSEPOLIS The center of the Old Persianate Kingdom, the ceremonial site of the Achaemenid Empire, Persepolis in Greek means the capital of the Persian lands. Iranians call this ancient site Taht- Cemflid, which is today approximately fifty-five kilometers outside of Shiraz. With the belief that this large residential area belonged to a real Persian culture, it was decided Orta do u tarihinin önemli dönüm noktalar nda birçok aç dan rol oynam fl bu güzel flehir, flimdilerde eski önemine sahip olmasa da, tarihten arda kalan kültürel miras ile ilgiyi hak ediyor. This glorious city, which at one time played various roles in the important turning points of Middle-Eastern political history, may not bear its strategic significance today, but it still requires attention, as it possesses a rich cultural heritage born out of its centuries-old history. that it would be named after the throne of the mythological Persian hero Cemflid. Most important knowledge on this ancient site is gathered from palatial fragments, their interiors, treasuries and inscriptions made on stone carved works of art. Among the greatest Persian kings from Darius I to Artaxerkes, Xerkes and Kurus have all continued this tradition and commissioned many works of art. This giant city-palace in Persepolis was built to be the summer palace and ceremonial site for the Achaemenid Empire. It was begun during the rule of Darius I and it has been estimated that its construction was completed in 150 to 180 years. The surface area of Persepolis comes to about one hundred and twenty five thousand square meters. 31

It was begun during the rule of Darius I and it has been estimated that its construction was completed in 150 to 180 years. WINE S NATIVE COUNTRY Wine originated in 4000 B.C. in these lands known today as the cradle of civilization. It was an important theme in mythology, poems and songs. Over time, it was gradually categorized according to the grapes from which it was sourced. Therefore, like silk, gold, ruby, emerald and olive oil, it also became a highly valuable product. While debates over which civilization was the homeland of wine, Shiraz was in the center of wine s origins. The biggest conflict revolved around Shiraz for centuries. The Persian King Cemflid loved grapes. To share his love of grapes with his people, he constructed massive vineyards. One year, there was a lot more produce than expected, so the storehouses of the palace was overflowing. In a few months, the grapes get fermented. The guards don t touch the bitter fermented liquid thinking that it was toxic. In the meantime, the ruler s concubine famous for her legendary beauty was suffering from a severe headache, for which the doctors cannot find a cure. Finding no relief, she decided to end her life by drinking this juice. However, instead of killing her, the drink restores her back to health and she feels her soul rested. She immediately spoke of the incident to Cemflid, who after having tasted the drink called it the water of life. In the following years, half of the produce of grapes was kept in the storehouse to convert to wine. Happiness settles in the Persian lands. With this Persian legend, Iranians maintain that wine was a gift of their kings to this world. However, the archaeological excavations in Persepolis have shown that heaps of grape seeds found were dated from before the rule of Cemflid. In recent years, there is great interest in the Shirazi grapes produced in the vineyards north of Shiraz, Bagh-e Anar and Bagh-e Takhti, because of their suitable climate. France, Italy and Australia compete with one another in raising Shirazi grapes in their countries. In the meantime, grape s native country Iran has chosen to remain silent due to its current stance against wine.
