A Dadaş (a term used to describe someone from Erzurum) who participated in our Erzurum Bazaar Market program, drew attention to the change between old and present-day Erzurum, saying, "There's a difference of millions of years."

Explaining that he learned culture from his elders, the Dadaş emphasized the importance of reading and knowing history:

📚 "A true Dadaş is one who protects his honor, dignity, integrity, and pride. One who loves his homeland and nation."

In his speech, the Dadaş also touched upon the fact that some customs coming from Europe are wrongly seen as "civilization," giving the story about Yavuz Sultan Selim wearing earrings as an example, saying that interpretations made without knowing history can mislead people.

And perhaps one of his most striking statements:

“In the old days, if you were from Erzurum, it was over. Your word was law. People from Erzurum were trustworthy. Now we hesitate to even say we're from Erzurum.”

🎙️ A heartfelt, sincere, and thought-provoking conversation from a Dadaş (a term used to describe someone from Erzurum)… Watch until the end.
