Alternative Ankara

Not geographically, in an exact way, but politically, Ankara is the very centre of Turkey. It pretends to be one of these dull cities where only the policy of the agenda can generate a reputation. From its residents’ perspective, especially on occasions when defending the city against Istanbulites, only if one was born there can it become a place that can fully perceived. Residents live in harmony in their corners and beloved circles. A tourist or an outsider will probably never figure out what can be done within the city. Ankara has many faces, visible from various aspects, but mainly served a standard image, a genuinely constant one among many others. As a former resident of the city, I wondered how this underrated image could be reproduced.
