İstanbul'u Satıyorum
1988Film
Istanbul, the darling of the world, is being sold before everyone's eyes. They are selling Istanbul together with the contractors, giving away one Istanbul for free for every Istanbul purchased. They are even selling its history. When Mimar Sinan comes to visit one day, he cannot find my beloved Istanbul in its place. He expresses his grievances about the mosques and houses he built being lost among the buildings, but to no avail—those who listen are still selling Istanbul. They are turning Taksim Park into a 50-story parking lot, Gülhane Park into a 30-story skyscraper, cemeteries into shopping centers, and waterfront mansions into 20-story apartment buildings, and they continue to sell Istanbul.
