EU will step in and continue support for Kyiv, predicts Ukraine's Vice PM for European Integration<\/a><\/li><li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//my-europe//2024//12//11//ukraine-pm-asks-germany-to-help-pave-the-way-for-ukrainian-refugees-eventual-return-home/">Ukraine PM asks Germany to help pave the way for Ukrainian refugees' eventual return home<\/a><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Zelenskyy was highly critical of Orb\u00e1n's ceasefire efforts, posting on X that achieving \"real peace and guaranteed security\" requires involvement from the US and Europe as well as \"the commitment of all partners to uphold the goals and principles of the UN Charter\".<\/p>\n<p>He also accused the Hungarian leader of trying to \"boost his personal image\" with his ceasefire proposals, and added that there should be no discussions of peace without Ukraine's involvement.<\/p>\n<p>The Office of the Ukrainian President said that Hungary didn't inform Ukraine of the call, and \"Ukraine did not authorise Hungary for anything\", adding that Ukrainian officials were working \"daily\" to secure the release of Ukrainian prisoners held in Russia. <\/p>\n<p>\"Relevant negotiations for a significant exchange by the end of the year have been ongoing for two weeks now,\u201d presidential adviser Dmytro Lytvyn said. <\/p>\n<p>Orb\u00e1n hit back on social media, saying Hungary \"made new efforts for peace\" and calling it \"sad\" that Zelenskyy rejected the proposals. <\/p>\n<p>\"We did what we could!\" the Hungarian leader said. <\/p>\n<h2>Both sides brace for Trump<\/h2><p>Orb\u00e1n is not the first leader to be criticised for holding a call with Putin, with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz facing similar criticism for speaking to the Russian leader in November. <\/p>\n<p>At the time, Zelenskyy said Scholz had opened \"Pandora's box\", reiterating that any discussions on a potential peace deal that did not involve Ukraine only undermined efforts to end the war. <\/p>\n<p>The war between Russia and Ukraine has escalated ahead of the inauguration of US president-elect Donald Trump, as Ukraine's allies scramble to put forward proposals that might mitigate any changes Trump would bring to the conflict. <\/p>\n<p>The current president, Joe Biden, has announced billions of dollars of additional support to Ukraine since Trump won the US election last month, and eased limitations on Kyiv using longer-range US-supplied missiles against targets inside Russia. <\/p>\n<p>Trump suggested in recent days that Ukraine should immediately reach a ceasefire agreement, and has repeatedly threatened to cut of critical US military aid to the war-torn country. <\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Trump repeated he would be open to reducing military aid as well as pull the US out of NATO, prospects that have alarmed Ukraine and its allies. <\/p>\n<p>Ukraine's supporters fear that a quickly negotiated ceasefire deal would mostly land on Putin\u2019s terms and risk allowing Russia to resume the war once its troops recovered. <\/p>\n<p>The pair remain gridlocked in their official visions of what a ceasefire deal could look like, with Putin insisting that Ukraine denounce joining NATO. Zelenskyy has made NATO membership a central part of his plan to end the war.<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1733988462,"updatedAt":1734001599,"publishedAt":1733999247,"firstPublishedAt":1733999247,"lastPublishedAt":1734001599,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"sourceUrl":null,"sourceCredit":null,"callToActionUrl":null,"captionCredit":"AP Photo","altText":"Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban arrives for meeting with Pope Francis at The Vatican, Wednesday, Dec.4, 2024.

We believe this ban is a direct restriction on art and freedom of expression. Festivals are spaces that celebrate art, cultural diversity, and community, bringing people together. This ban not only targets a single film but also undermines the very essence and purpose of the festival.\u201d\u00a0\n\n\u201cFor this reason, MUBI has decided to take the position that our audience expects from us. It is with deep regret that we inform you of our decision to cancel the entire MUBI Fest Istanbul. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the artists, audiences, and supporters who were eager to be part of the festival. We truly appreciate your understanding and solidarity. We know you are as saddened by this situation as we are. We will continue to advocate for the protection of freedom of expression and artistic integrity.\u201d\u00a0\n\nQueer\u00a0stars Daniel Craig as William Lee, an American expat in Mexico City, who pines\u00a0for an elusive younger man, Eugene (Drew Starkey). \u00a0\n\nIn our review for the film, we wrote: \u201cWhen the aging gay man asks the object of his affections to travel to South America for a quest to discover a psychedelic drug called \u2018yage\u2019 (ayahuasca), the film turns away from their sweaty push-and-pull relationship with some parallels to\u00a0Death In Venice and morphs into a fascinating Orphean retelling about the search for oneself, the yearning for self-acceptance, and the impossibility of going back to past glory days.

other politicians described as a \"coup\".\n\nDemonstrators filled a square in Esenyurt, a western suburb on Istanbul's European side after the government banned a rally outside the municipality building.\n\nSome carried banners that read \"We want an elected mayor not an appointed mayor\" and called for the resignation of President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan's government.\n\n64-year-old \u00d6zer is a former academic originally from Van in eastern T\u00fcrkiye.\n\nHe was elected mayor of Esenyurt in local elections in March.\n\nThe state-run Anadolu news agency reported that the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office said an investigation showed \u00d6zer had maintained contacts with PKK figures for more than 10 years.\n\nHis home, vehicle and office in the municipality

a social media trend that will delight linguists and gossipers alike, a post is doing the rounds on X celebrating the so-called \"gossip tense\" in the Turkish language.\n\nAs its nickname implies, this language feature can be used in Turkish to have a good old gossip \u2014 or rather to talk about events that you haven't witnessed yourself, emphasising that what you're talking about is just hearsay.\n\nYou can also be judged for misleading people if you don\u2019t use the tense, according to the post.\n\nWhilst it's true that such a feature does exist in the Turkish language, it may not be fully accurate to describe it as a \"gossip tense.\"\n\nInstead, it's actually a suffix rather than a tense, according to Nicholas Kontovas, Nizami Ganjavi subject librarian and manuscript curator for the Caucasus, Central Asia and Turkey at the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford.\n\n\"Turkish grammar is mostly composed of suffixes. And this one takes the form -m\u0131\u015f, -mi\u015f, -mu\u015f or -m\u00fc\u015f, depending on vowel harmony,\" he said. \"And it's accurate only in so much as if you were going to gossip about something that you didn't witness firsthand, something in the past, you probably would use it.\"\n\n\"But it's actually a lot more complicated than that,\" Kontovas added.\n\nThe -m\u0131\u015f suffix could roughly be translated into English as something like \"I heard that\". For example, \"Ahmet yapm\u0131\u015f\" would be \"(I heard that) Ahmet did it\".\n\nThese types of suffixes belong to a group known as \"evidentials\" \u2014 a linguistic structure that reveals how the speaker gained knowledge of the information they're sharing.\n\n\"Generally speaking, an evidential can say, 'I gained this knowledge firsthand, I gained this knowledge second hand, I gained this knowledge through hearsay',\" Kontovas told EuroVerify. \"Evidentials can sometimes communicate in different languages your disposition towards the truthfulness of the propositions, for example 'I heard this, but I doubt it'.\"\n\nIt's not just limited to gossip therefore: it's used for any sort of knowledge that you\u2019ve gained indirectly or that you doubt, among other uses. It can also double as a perfect tense, used to show a completed action (e.g. \"I have seen the film\" in English).\n\n\"So it's a sort of grave oversimplification to say that -m\u0131\u015f is for gossip because it does so much more than that,\" Kontovas said. \"Additionally, if you want to communicate that you absolutely don't believe the proposition that you're communicating, you can double them ... if you use them together, it's a sort of dubious tense.\"\n\nIt's not just a feature of Turkish either: other languages such as Mongolian and Tajik have structures like this too.\n\nHow is it used in reporting?\n\nLanguages differ however when it comes to reporting the news and disseminating information.\n\n\"There have been studies that have been done on Turkish legal cases and Turkish journalistic writing and whether or not native speakers interpret communication with -m\u0131\u015f as a sort of 'get out of jail free card' or to say, 'I didn't actually know that, so who knows?',\" Kontovas said. \"And the jury's still out because people naturally adapt their language to the setting.\"\n\n\"They generally avoid using things that could be interpreted ambiguously when they want to be absolutely sure of something, or they avoid ways of communicating, information that could get them in trouble later,\" he added.\n\nFormal news reports in Turkish will generally use phrases that say where the information has come from, according to Kontovas.\n\n\"So if you're a good journalist, you'll say \"according to the report\" and then you'll do a direct quote or you'll use a verb form that doesn't communicate whether or not the information was direct or indirect,\" he said.\n\n\"However, there's a lot of bad journalism out there in Turkish, just like there is in every other language, and there you can definitely sense when somebody is saying something with surety that they definitely don't have firsthand knowledge of when they're using the [direct] past tense for things that they definitely didn't witness,\" Kontovas continued.\n\n\"And if we were living in a just world and fake news was held accountable, you definitely could imagine situations in which those people were taken to task for unduly communicating that information with an undue level of assuredness or authority,\" he said.\n\nWhile the -m\u0131\u015f suffix could be seen as helping to lend some credibility to what is being reported, because the subject is ultimately acknowledging that what they're saying has been reported elsewhere, it creates a \"catch-22\" situation, according to Kontovas.\n\n\"In proper journalism now, we tend not to use the -m\u0131\u015f by itself because as an authoritative journalist, you don't want to be doing that.\" he said. \"The best journalism in Turkish \u2026 avoids situations where you're trying to communicate information you got from other sources with sort of unambiguously either direct or indirect verb forms whatsoever.\"\n\nSometimes, using -m\u0131\u015f in journalism can come across as sarcastic because people don't expect to see it used in that way.\n\n\"If you're using -m\u0131\u015f and you're intentionally casting doubt on the potential veracity of your statement, then people will infer that doubt just as a matter of pragmatics, because they think 'this is a journalist, they're being careful to use all these verb forms that don't commit them to the truth of a statement',\" Kontovas said. \"Now, that's maybe not bad journalism, but it's definitely a certain type of journalism where the author is trying to sort of intentionally cast doubt on a proposition.\"\n\n","htmlText":"<p>In a social media trend that will delight linguists and gossipers alike, a post is doing the rounds on X celebrating the so-called \"gossip tense\" in the Turkish language.<\/p>\n<p>As its nickname implies, this language feature can be used in Turkish to have a good old gossip \u2014 or rather to talk about events that you haven't witnessed yourself, emphasising that what you're talking about is just hearsay.<\/p>\n<p>You can also be judged for misleading people if you don\u2019t use the tense, according to the post.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst it's true that such a feature does exist in the Turkish language, it may not be fully accurate to describe it as a \"gossip tense.\"<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-tweet widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio\u2014auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <div class=\"widget__tweet\" data-tweet-id=\"1843769276471349698\"><\/div>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Instead, it's actually a suffix rather than a tense, according to Nicholas Kontovas, Nizami Ganjavi subject librarian and manuscript curator for the Caucasus, Central Asia and Turkey at the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford.<\/p>\n<p>\"Turkish grammar is mostly composed of suffixes.

numbers of patients from the UK, Ireland and other European countries are travelling to Turkey for affordable cosmetic dental procedures.\u00a0\n\nThe growing medical tourism trend has become known as \u2018Turkey teeth\u2019.\u00a0\n\nWhile it might seem like a tempting way to save money, it involves some serious risks that could lead to long-term dental problems.\n\nAlex Foo is a doctor at Aria Dental and wants travellers to be more aware of the dangers.\u00a0\n\nHow \u2018Turkey teeth\u2019 became a popular travel trend\n\nMany Turkish dental clinics offer what appear to be attractive packages, combining cheap flights, hotel stays and dental treatments at a fraction of the cost compared to the UK and other European countries.\u00a0\n\nHowever, Foo advises caution, warning that what may seem like a good deal initially could end up costing far more in the long run.\n\n\u201cNot all Turkish dentists are bad, but the ones specifically targeting UK and Irish patients tend to be using aggressive treatment techniques,\u201d says Foo.\u00a0\n\n\u201cIn many cases, they carry out procedures like excessive drilling, which can cause significant damage to your teeth.\u201d\u00a0\n\nOver-drilling to prepare teeth for crowns or veneers can lead to nerve damage, leaving patients in pain or requiring further treatment such as root canals.\n\nYour medical treatment ends with your plane ride home\n\nPatients who undergo dental work in Turkey often return home with issues that require urgent attention.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019ve seen patients with crowns or bridges that have come loose or fallen out shortly after returning. In some cases, the glues or cements used are substandard, leading to a higher likelihood of failure,\u201d Foo says.\u00a0\n\nThe issue with having treatments done abroad is the difficulty in getting follow-up care once back home.\u00a0\n\nLocal dentists are often reluctant to carry out repairs due to the legal risks involved, leaving patients stranded with subpar dental work.\n\nSo while the initial costs in Turkey might appear cheaper, Foo stresses that patients often face higher long-term costs due to the need for repairs and replacements.\u00a0\n\nIn the worst-case scenarios, some patients have returned with severe infections, which can destroy the underlying bone, making dental implants impossible.\u00a0\n\n\u201cIn some cases, patients may even end up needing dentures due to the damage caused,\u201d adds Foo.\n\nTurkey teeth: Is it worth the risk?\n\nFoo encourages anyone considering dental treatment abroad to carefully weigh the risks and consider the quality of care they might be receiving.\u00a0\n\n\u201cThe savings may seem appealing at first, but the risks of poor workmanship, complications and lack of follow-up care far outweigh any short-term financial benefit,\u201d he says.\u00a0\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s always worth consulting with a reputable local dentist to discuss safer and more reliable options.\u201d\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Increasing numbers of patients from the UK, Ireland and other European countries are travelling to Turkey for affordable cosmetic dental procedures.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The growing medical tourism trend has become known as \u2018Turkey teeth\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While it might seem like a tempting way to save money, it involves some serious risks that could lead to long-term dental problems.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Foo is a doctor at <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.ariadental.net.au///">Aria Dental<\/strong><\/a> and wants travellers to be more aware of the dangers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>How \u2018Turkey teeth\u2019 became a popular travel trend<\/h2><p>Many Turkish dental clinics offer what appear to be attractive packages, combining cheap flights, hotel stays and dental treatments at a fraction of the cost compared to the UK and other <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//travel//2024//05//19//70-of-expats-move-in-search-of-free-healthcare-but-where-in-europe-do-they-get-it/">European countries<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, Foo advises caution, warning that what may seem like a good deal initially could end up costing far more in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot all Turkish dentists are bad, but the ones specifically targeting UK and Irish patients tend to be using aggressive treatment techniques,\u201d says Foo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn many cases, they carry out procedures like excessive drilling, which can cause significant damage to your teeth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Over-drilling to prepare teeth for crowns or veneers can lead to nerve damage, leaving patients in pain or requiring further treatment such as root canals.<\/p>\n<h2>Your medical treatment ends with your plane ride home<\/h2><p>Patients who undergo dental work in <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//travel//2022//12//22//turkey-travel-warning-issued-by-uk-government-following-22-medical-tourism-deaths/">Turkey often return home with issues that require urgent attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen patients with crowns or bridges that have come loose or fallen out shortly after returning.

of the oldest radio channels in Turkey, A\u00e7\u0131k Radyo (Open Radio), whose license was revoked by the Turkish Radio and Television Supreme Council (RT\u00dcK) a month before its 30th year on air, stopped its terrestrial programming on Wednesday.\n\nOpen Radio founder \u00d6mer Madra told Euronews in an interview that despite speculation circulating online, the station's license was revoked not because of the use of the phrase \"Armenian genocide\" but because the operators had failed to suspend their broadcast on five particular days the regulator had ordered them to.\n\nMadra explained that he and his colleagues were not properly informed of the particular dates on which they were supposed to suspend their broadcast, so they continued as usual.\n\nIt was Madra who spoke the last words broadcast from the station: \"Open Radio will remain open to all sounds, colors and vibrations of the universe.\"\n\nOpen Radio, which began broadcasting in 1995, was handed a fine of 280,000 Turkish lira (\u20ac7,500) and a five-day broadcast suspension after a broadcast on 24 April when a guest used the phrase \"Armenian genocide\" while discussing events commemorating the 1915-17 atrocity, which remains an extremely controversial subject in Turkey.\n\nMadra told Euronews that following the sanction, they were not told the exact dates when they had to stop the broadcasting and did not receive the electronic notice regarding them due to software and technical issues.\n\nThe founder also underlined that RT\u00dcK did not deem this explanation acceptable, and thus revoked the terrestrial broadcast license.\n\nThe a 79-year-old Madra described the last moments of the broadcast with a hint of sadness.\n\n\"There were 6 minutes left to switch off the broadcast,\" he recalled. \"However, since we could not raise 41 broadcasters to take part in the last broadcast, 41 people said only one word; \u2018Hello\u2019. We closed by saying \u2018hello\u2019 41 times.\"\n\nOn Thursday, October 17, the day after the license was revoked and the last broadcast was carried out, the station's team arrived at work as if for another normal day. They switched on their computers and prepared the studio equipment as they did every day \u2014 but no broadcast could be transmitted.\n\nWords taken out of context\n\nSpeaking to Euronews Turkish about the process leading up to the cancellation, Madra insisted that the phrase \"Armenian genocide\" in the broadcast on 24 April was taken out of context.\n\n\"On that day, in the section of A\u00e7\u0131k Gazete, our main news broadcast, in which Cengiz Akdar participated, an evaluation was made about the history of (Armenian genocide) commemorations and the point they had reached.\n\n\"The following was said: 'While the commemoration is being held here under the protection of law enforcement, even (Armenian Prime Minister Nikol) Pashinyan did not utter the word 'genocide' today.'\"\n\n\"The current attitudes of different political actors on the issue were mentioned and the following words were spoken: 'It is the 109th anniversary of the deportations and massacres that took place in Armenian, that is, Ottoman lands, massacres that are called 'genocide'. As you know, the Armenian genocide commemoration was banned this year as well'.\"\n\nFollowing the use of these phrases, RT\u00dcK imposed the fine and suspension on the grounds of \"inciting the society to hatred and hostility or creating feelings of hatred in the society,\" in accordance with Turkish law.\n\nMadra stated that they have not only appealed the fine but also begun to comply with it. \n\n\"We still have our receipt for the first instalment. However, since we did not receive an electronic notification on the dates of the broadcast suspension, we continued our broadcasts as usual.\"\n\nStating that the process is being carried out as if the station does not care about the penalty imposed on them by, Madra said: \"We sent a petition saying 'give us a new date\u2019, since the broadcast suspension dates could not reach due to the notification problem.\"\n\n\"Although the text of the Supreme Council's decision was opened in the notification sent electronically, the text indicating the closure dates could not be opened due to a software error in the electronic notification system. Therefore, since we were not aware (of the broadcast suspension dates), the decision could not be implemented.\"\n\n\"On the other hand, when the fine was included in the decision, an application was made to RT\u00dcK for payment and the first instalment was paid. They accepted this. We also received the receipt.\"\n\nMadra also said that the first broadcasting ban decision was not imposed on all of A\u00e7\u0131k Radyo's programmes but only on the show that included the phrase \"Armenian genocide\" and the people involved with it.\n\nConfusion and refusal\n\nExplaining that RT\u00dcK did not respond to their petition requesting a new date for the broadcast ban, Madra recalled that in July, RT\u00dcK had in fact suspended the execution of the license cancellation.\n\n\"In the lawsuit we filed against the penalty decision, the 21st Administrative Court issued a stay of execution on the penalty until the administration's defence was submitted. RT\u00dcK also appealed to a higher court against the stay of execution decision, but this was rejected by the higher court. Consequently, RT\u00dcK did not notify us on the license cancellation decision.\"\n\nBut on October 8, 2024, the 21st Administrative Court re-evaluated the case and cancelled the stay.\n\n\"Before we could object to this, RT\u00dcK immediately notified us of the decision to cancel the terrestrial broadcasting license it had previously taken and our license was cancelled,\" Madra said.\n\nThe future of Open Radio\n\nMadra says he and his colleagues are hopeful that the cancellation of their terrestrial broadcasting license will be \"at least temporarily suspended\".\n\n\"We cannot say 100 percent, but legally this is a great possibility,\" he said. \"We can get our acquired rights back. However, in the opposite case, we cannot apply for the same terrestrial broadcasting license.\"\n\n\"Since the FM band in Istanbul is very dense, no new license applications can be made. There are many companies that have not already been allocated a frequency and are waiting in line.

renowned portrait photographer Pari Dukovic is returning to his roots in more ways than one with his latest exhibition which is now on in his hometown of Istanbul. \n\n\"From Istanbul to New York: A Photographer's Journey\"\u00a0highlights much of his life's work that's taken him from the Turkish city to the Big Apple, the place that shaped his artistic growth. \n\nThe historic baroque Sismanoglio Megaro building, that serves as the Greek consulate in the heart of Istanbul's Istklal Avenue, is hosting the showcase.\n\nThe exhibition, presented in chronological order, opens with stunning views of Istanbul. For Dukovic, who began his career at the age of eight with a camera gifted by his father, Istanbul holds immense sentimental value as the place where his journey started.\u00a0\n\nOpposite the Istanbul images, visitors are greeted by snapshots of New York, paying homage to the city where he refined his craft.\n\nThe centerpiece of the exhibition features some of Dukovic\u2019s masterful portraits, with subjects ranging from Barack Obama and David Lynch to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I and Lionel Messi, all displayed in the heart of the historic venue.\n\nAt the opening, Dukovic explained that his passion for photography, as a means of \u201cexploring and expressing the world,\u201d led him from Istanbul to the U.S., where he had the opportunity to meet and photograph some of the most influential figures of our time. \"Every photo in this exhibition reflects my journey, my passion, and my desire to document the world around me,\" he said.\n\nDukovic also shared the challenges he faced in his portrait sessions, mentioning that he only had 2.5 minutes to take 47 shots of Obama during a 2017 session at the White House.\u00a0\n\n\"Magazines hire me because I can create portraits in a very short amount of time,\" he added.\n\nDukovic\u2019s portraits are instantly recognizable for their signature style. His dynamic compositions and expert use of colors make his work unmistakable.\n\nGreek Consul General Konstantinos Koutras praised Dukovic\u2019s artistic career as a reflection of his life experiences, beginning in Istanbul and continuing in the U.S., where he has photographed iconic figures from politics, sports, music, and cinema, leaving a lasting impression in history.\n\nOver the past decade, Dukovic's editorial photography has appeared in top U.S. and European magazines. He served as staff photographer for\u00a0The New Yorker\u00a0from 2012 to 2018, contributing to key profiles. His work includes all six covers of\u00a0Time's special Time 100 issue and winning the 2018 Clio Gold Campaign of the Year for\u00a0Pose. \n\nHis photographs are in The Smithsonian's collection, and he shot the covers for Barack Obama's memoir\u00a0A Promised Land\u00a0and NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson\u2019s book. For Rizzoli's\u00a0New York City Ballet: Choreography & Couture, he captured 129 costumes on 11 dancers.\n\nThe exhibition is open until October 23.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>The renowned portrait photographer Pari Dukovic is returning to his roots in more ways than one with his latest exhibition which is now on in his hometown of Istanbul. <\/p>\n<p>\"From Istanbul to New York: A Photographer's Journey\"*\u00a0highlights much of his life's work that's taken him from the Turkish city to the Big Apple, the place that shaped his artistic growth. <\/p>\n<p>The historic baroque Sismanoglio Megaro building, that serves as the Greek consulate in the heart of Istanbul's Istklal Avenue, is hosting the showcase.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition, presented in chronological order, opens with stunning views of Istanbul.
