İzmir Historic Port City Site Management Visits Bursa

The team from the İzmir Historic Port City Site Management visited Bursa on November 12, 2021. Meeting with the Bursa Site Manager and her team, the İzmir team gained important insights from a presentation by Bursa Site Manager Prof. Dr. Neslihan Dostoğlu on Bursa’s nomination file and management plan. After the presentation, the İzmir Historic Port City Site Management team asked questions about Bursa’s journey to becoming a UNESCO World Heritage site. They then toured the Khans Region, one of our world heritage sites. The team also met with İsa Altıkardeş, President of the Bursa Historical Bazaar and Khans Association, and Muhsin Özyıldırım, President of the Federation of Historical Bazaars. They later visited Cumalıkızık. Welcomed by Ali Ülker, President of the Cumalıkızık Agricultural Development Cooperative, the team expressed their admiration for Cumalıkızık’s unique atmosphere. We wish success to the İzmir Historic Port City Site Management team in their efforts to have the İzmir Historic Port City, currently on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List, to include in the main list.
