Nancy, James Jerusalem to Istanbul

+

+The travelers met a cab at the Jaffa gate with their luggage and drove to Tel Aviv. +They drove through sections which showed the barriers between Palestine and Israel with long lines of people waiting to go to work on busses. +They flew to Istanbul and caught a cab driving to Istanbul. +This is a distance of about 60 miles. +

+ +

+It is good that the airport has many moving sidewalks because the place is HUGE. +It took the travelers a long time to get from the place where they debarked the plane to the place where they collected their luggage, went through security and found a cab. +

Istanbul Overview

+ +

+Istanbul is a popular place to visit with a long and important history. +The travelers wanted to experience this place and gain some understanding of what life may have been like for Yesia when he lived there. +Yesia began working in Istanbul when he was 13 and lived there until he was 17 when he immigrated to the US (1900) due to Turkish fear of Armenian revolutionaries. +

+ +

Harant Dink foundation

-asian side of istanbul +

+After lunch the travelers undertook to find the offices of the Hrant Dink Organization located on the Asian side of Istanbul. +They had the address but had trouble finding it. +Finally they did find it with the help of Jim’s phone GPS and a hand drawn map by a tattoo artist who worked in a shop nearby. +Once there, they were given helpful information about visiting Istanbul, Kayseri and Erzindjan. +The staff were interested in the fact that the travelers were visiting Develi in an attempt to see where the property Yesia inherited may have been. +Evidently this organization is in the process of suing the Turkish government which claims that Armenians who left Turkey before the genocide as Turkish citizens should be entitled to reparations. +We do not intend to be part of this lawsuit, but we wonder if Turkish documents about Yesia might have indicated if he was a Turkish citizen when he left in 1900. +

+ +

+After spending the afternoon in this way, the travelers enjoyed a nice dinner before bed. +
