“As part of the research project, oral history and in-depth interviews were conducted with more than a hundred people. It was very valuable to come together with the very valuable names we interviewed as part of the Arafta Bir Beyoğlu Memory Meeting, to present the results of the project to them, and to receive their ideas and suggestions. I sincerely believe that the research will be enriched with these feedbacks and will contribute to very important decisions for the future of Beyoğlu.”
