In a country whose culture and rural lands are as fertile as Turkey's, every seed we get is a golden blessing for production. In this "trap" environment, where young people, children, and women are anxious with their concerns for the future and women are killed as a result of family conflicts, the right “Healthy, Sustainable Agro-Park-Rural Development and Integration of Cultural Heritages into Tourism” project will be a beacon of hope for the development of the VAN BASIN.
