I was born in Fatih district of Istanbul that is the core of İstanbul and Fatih is the historical peninsula surrounded by castles totally from the Golden Horn and Marmara Sea around. All the famous districts are scattered in Fatih. The feelings you have in the Fatih area is very unique and special and if you’re in the area you feel that it is the center of the world, not only with the center of the world because the empires Roman empire after Constantin set up in 395 and Turkish Ottoman Empire in 1453 was all controlled from Fatih district of Istanbul.

It may have been much better to have a faunus covered on the sky of İstanbul to protect all the historical buildings of Fatih area where I was born is just near to the Fatih Mosque. In Turkish language there’s a saying and thought that while Fatih is a symbol for the earlier historical traditions, Harbiye earlier represents modernity.

In 1974 I bought a Russian Zorki camera for black-and-white photographs and started first from Fatih and then proceeded to Western historical antique locations in the Aegean region, because of my involvement with the touristic guide course. I started from the roads and streets of Fatih, the old town, 45 years ago and got the photos of ordinary people, elderly, youngsters, children and the historical buildings and the wooden buildings in that part of the city.

We may call Fatih as a city in the real sense. The oldest company in Turkey is Çemberlitaş Hamami in 1584. Fatih prouds with biggest church in the world. Saint Sophia is in Fatih. I lived all my childhood in Fatih. Living in Fatih area, your mentality is shaped with Fatih with the conqueror, over there your mentality is always with the people looking for the justice for the people and always to lead with the people, you cannot be alone and with the understanding you have developed in Fatih area is breathed in the air. His spirit makes a difference with the leadership in that area.

Constantinople started the New Rome in that area and the conqueror Fatih also started the new era in 15th century in that area. So here is the center of the world with one of the very first univesities in the world as well. also in Fatih the University as well.

These are straight black and white photographies and meaningful to show us the past of the historical Peninsula.

Maybe the individuals on the photographs, the elderly ones, may not be living now, so we can analyze the conditions of the time just after the war happened in Cyprus and Turkey started to be entering into street movements with guns which lead to the country to military coup in 12 September 1980. The photographs also reflect the property in the streets of İstanbul at the time though the buildings are very old and rich in history, the people are not that much. Here is the most conservative part of the İstanbul.

Following taking photographs of Fatih and downtown İstanbul, I moved to Western Turkey passing through Dardanel Straight snd visiting antique cities like Troy, Pergamon, Smyrna, Priene, Ephesus, Didyma, which are older than Istanbul city, so taking the photos of these archaeological theaters and worship buildings.

Turkey is unique in the world with its richness of antiquity and cultures. Truva is the area where a great war happened between Greek invaders and Anatolians written in legend. Western Turkey is geography of first philosophers in the world before 500 BC where the famous philosophers have lived in this area, so we can say Turkey geography is the homeland of philosophers starting with the Miletos philosophers.

Roman and Ottoman Turkish armies started their military advancement journies all from Fatih District. Mesa Avenue of Roman Empire and Topkapi Palace of Ottoman Empire well all effective in these advancements.

Istanbul was symboled by royal signature of Fatih as with the mission of “Always”.

Street Vendors and chidren, teenagers are the common instances of Fatih streets.

The Fatih district of Istanbul is a collar embellished not only by the name but also by the spirit of its founder. The heartland of the Qur’an is Surah Fatiha, and the Fatih of Istanbul.

The most important feature of Fatih is that he was the first and last sultan to give such importance to the book and the library. He invited the people of science and opinion to Istanbul and thus placed the immortal power of the idea at the center of the administration. The names of these intellectuals are kept alive in the streets, avenues and neighborhoods of Fatih.

Fatih is the symbol of the immortal union of the idea and the soul. The Conqueror is the idea and the spirit.

Fatih district is a holy land that breathes the souls of the Fatihs who were martyred in 857 (Gregorian 1453) and buried where they were martyred.

The name of Dar’ül Funun should be started to be kept alive with Fatih Madrasa, which are the Science and Teology institutions that Fatih was the founder of.

The Süleymaniye Library, located in the Süleymaniye Mosque Complex of Kanuni, one of the grandchildren of Fatih, is the world’s largest library of manuscripts.

The capital of the world is the precious city of Istanbul, and the center of Istanbul is Fatih.

Scholars and intellectuals who grew up in Fatih have maintained the longest-lasting empire in the world on three continents with the power of their ideas.

The duty of the sons of Fatih the Conqueror is to be the seal of the conquests of ideas by reviving the same intellectual mission with a transcendent vision in the 21st century, and to spread it to the world by raising thousands of pioneering intellectuals; To keep Fatih the Conqueror alive.

Conqueror; Being assertive means keeping and living the spirit of Fatih. That spirit will live on forever in the lines of the National Anthem of Mehmet Akif from Akşemsettin neighborhood.

The Walled City of Istanbul is called Fatih. In fact, the district that developed around Fatih Mosque reflects the spirit of the Turks. Like Bilge Tonyukuk, Fatih’s life was spent on expeditions, either on the Adriatic coast or on the north and south of the Black Sea coast. The leadership dynamism revealed by these expeditions permeated the capillaries of the state and society.

This mood is most felt in Fatih district. How did 72 warships take a U-shaped route by land from the shores of the Bosphorus and land them on the shores of the estuary? This is the most concrete proof of how the impossible is turned into an opportunity.

Being a grandson from Rumelia, his mother from Macedonia Skopje, and his father from Bulgaria Plovdiv, having settled in Mutemet Street at the foot of Fatih Mosque, having spent his childhood there (I was on Mutemet Street until the age of seven, personality is formed in a child until the age of seven), this is me. It has been an important chance and opportunity that has shaped my whole life.

My childhood was spent in Mutemet Street between 1958 and 1965, until I was seven years old, then we moved to Vatan Apartment on Akşemsettin Street opposite the Ali Emiri Cultural Center (then it was a truck garden at the time). Fatih is my identity.

 . Conqueror is Leadership. Two anecdotes are very meaningful after the Conquest of Istanbul. First, Fatih is curious, trying to find the body of the Byzantine Emperor who died in the war. The emperor fights like a soldier by taking off his clothes, and shows heroism, whereupon Fatih says, “Find the body of the Byzantine emperor”, the emperor is identified from his socks.

Later, Fatih had the heirs of the empire brought the cadres to the administration, and today the Murat Pasha Mosque in Aksaray is a mosque built by the heir of the Byzantine Empire and a convert to Islam. Later, another heir, Messiah Pasha, also serves as the grand vizier.

In addition, he has the heroes who died during the capture of the city in 857 with the Hijri calendar and 1453 with the Gregorian calendar, have their bodies built in the place where their bodies are found and orders them to be buried where they are. The leadership that manifests itself in these anecdotes is a leadership adorned with self-confidence, and this leadership ensured that the empire was in the capital for a very long time, like 600 years.

The cities of the Turks are intertwined with cemeteries, they have dead ends, they are lived with animals. Fatih entered Istanbul with the dogs. Animals are not at home, but on the streets. These phenomena are absent in Western cities and Arab cities. People and animals live together on the streets in this country. In this country, people are not separated by color, colors are only descriptive for geography; It is the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Black Sea, the Blue Danube, the Gökçe Sea (Caspian sea).

“Turkish cities have lost the concept of “cities with animals” with Ibn Khaldunian sociology. Turks should return to the vision of a city based on the views of Al-Farabi.” Lütfi Bergen @BergenLutfi

“Turkey is a love-born country that accepts and values living things as they are, without discrimination. The term Anaç and Dolu fits perfectly. Tribes and religions are clumps of land and its inhabitants deserve much more than the imperial world.” Danyal Hergünsel

In my poem Bazar, I tried to reflect the spirit of Fatih, the spirit of Fatih district, by going over the Wednesday market, which is the largest public market in Turkey, which is an open and huge market.

https://booksonturkey.com/?s=1975

The photographs I took half a century ago in Istanbul Fatih, on the historical peninsula and in ancient cities such as Troy, Bergama, Ephesus, Didim, in the Aegean, shed light on our day. The permanence of ancient cities, which have not changed for thousands of years, clad in silence and solitude, and the sharp and striking change in the time period of 50 years in the city of Istanbul, occur together before our eyes and extend to us from the beginning years of the 21st century. The ancient cities we visited on the Aegean coast were living their heyday when Istanbul was not yet in the middle.

Despite the magnificence of Istanbul’s historical buildings, the poverty and deprivation observed in the 1975 photographs raise questions about whether human welfare or magnificent stone structures are permanent. The ruined historical wooden structures seen in the photographs were quickly destroyed and left their places to reinforced concrete structures. The apartment building fashion, which started in the mid-1950s, has rapidly changed the face of the city in 20 years.

I have been trying to convey the world reflected by the photographs and our impressions with subtitles.

In terms of political history, 1975 is the interim period between the coup d’etat of March 12, 1971 and the coup of September 12, 1980. The country conditions of a period between military coups have been brought to light with photographs.

After the shooting of the photos, I took photos, shared videos and published them as videos under the title of Teavller’s Talks during my business trips to 32 countries in 32 years in the export sector, in which I was involved by chance in a time period approaching ten years. This time it was the outside world that was in question, and I plan to publish these photos as a book again. This is the result of the spirit of Fatih, regarding the world view, the unity of people, that I acquired in the Fatih district of Istanbul.

The charming elders in the courtyard of Fatih Mosque, 1975, Istanbul.

© Copyright photo by Levent Ağaoğlu

In the courtyard of Fatih Mosque, the charming elders had a very cheerful conversation with the pride and confidence of the Fatih district and the mosque. Blessings to the lives of those left behind, and mercy to those we bid farewell to eternity. On October 12, 1975, Senate Renewal Elections would be held. Perhaps they were communicating their views to each other on this matter. Fatih Mosque, Saturday, October 11, 1975.

Fatih Camii avlusunda sevimli yaşlı amcalar Fatih semtinin ve camiinin yaşattığı gurur ve güven ile pek de neşeli bir sohbet tutturmuşlar. Geride kalanların ömürlerine bereket, sonsuzluğa uğurladıklarımıza rahmetler ile. Ertesi gün Senato Yenileme Seçimleri yapılacaktı. Belki de bu konudaki görüşlerini birbirlerine iletiyorlardı. Fatih Camii, Cumartesi, 11 Ekim 1975.
