Spirit of the Time-Ertuğrul Özkök
Let me first explain where this photo comes from.
Then the value of what I’m about to tell you will be understood more clearly.
When I woke up in Frankfurt yesterday morning, there were photos in the middle of my WhatsApp notifications.
My wife Tansu threw one of them.
A photo taken at the Alaçatı Herb Festival…
The Mayor of Çeşme’s Festive March with the Blue Hat
The Mayor of Çeşme, Lâl Denizli, wears a blue hat.
He wears a jacket and trousers in the same color.
Tansu wrote: „I am relieved.“
The second photo I saw yesterday was in Mehmet Yılmaz’s article.
It was also featured in the Adana Orange Blossom Carnival.
Like a photo taken at the Ladies Bicycle Day organized by women from Izmir and now renowned worldwide…
Chirping…

The post that caught my attention on the Orange Blossom Carnival’s Instagram account
I visited the Instagram page about the Adana Carnival.
A lively burst of colors that momentarily takes people out of the nightmare state of Turkey…
A splendor of colors I have never seen in Turkey…
Necklaces were made from flowers.
Now I come to the various behind-the-scenes details I mentioned at the beginning.
At the end of my post, there was an announcement that surprised me greatly.
„Culture Road Festival…“
In other words, it is an activity of the Ministry of Culture…
Can you imagine that the Ministry of Culture has endorsed an event that started in the past with the name „Raki and Kebab“ but later, with a very correct decision, transformed into the „Orange Blossom Carnival“…
I learned the news from the YouTube show of Fatih Altaylı
What this signature is, I learned from Fatih Altaylı’s YouTube show yesterday.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism reached out to the organizers of the Adana Orange Blossom Carnival and said, „Can we include the Culture Road Festival that we organize as a ministry within the framework of this carnival?“
The result is great…
The opposition community is at the carnival…
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the central government is participating in the carnival.
There is not a single political statement.
There is not a single „insertion.“
Everywhere is lively…
Everywhere is colorful…
Everyone is happy…
Everyone is having fun.
And there is not a single incident.
I learned about the incident on the 60-meter stage from Minister of Culture Ersoy
After that, I called the Minister of Culture and Tourism, Mehmet Ersoy, in the morning and asked, „Is this news true?“
It was true.
„We are organizing Culture Road Festivals in 16 different locations.
Among these was Adana.
We then spoke with the festival organizers and said that we should hold the Culture Road Festival during the same period.
„That’s how this collaboration came about,“ he said.
The 60-meter giant concert stage purchased last year
Naturally, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s involvement has made concrete contributions to the carnival.
Nearly 700 activities are organized as part of the Cultural Road Festival.
All of a sudden, all this was included in the Orange Blossom Carnival.
But in my opinion, the most valuable contribution is the 60-meter giant concert stage.
Last year, the ministry acquired one of the most advanced concert stage technologies in the world.
This is a huge 60-meter stage.
It has sound and lighting systems with advanced technology. In addition, with its digital screens, it is truly a modern concert venue.
From concert bans before March 31 to giant concerts for 200,000 people
With this stage, it is possible to hold very large concerts
