Hello Burak,
i did not know that Bulent Ecevit was live in a five stars 'hotel' like this one.Excellent presentation of the ward that was stayed with one another prisoner.A good reportage shot from the life of the politician.

Regards,Danos

Bonjour, cher ami Burak,
Nous entrons de plain-pied dans ce qui fut la vie de penseurs (ayant interdiction de penser comme certains). C'est loin d'кtre le Ritz !
Trиs bon sujet fort bien prйsentй.
Amitiйs.

Hello Burak,
The furnishings look rather Spartan. Excellent interior capture from this unwelcoming cell. Ideally exposed and with good colours and clarity. Not knowing a great deal about Turkish history, it would be interesting to know when this prison was in operation.

Hi Burak
This shot reminds me of prison cell of the late President Nelson Mandela on Robben Island I visited in 2003 which i can remember vividly..
Not a place we'd want to be but an interesting insight into the world as it once was - or at least one tiny part of it. Good reportage image, Congrats
Best regards

Hello Burak,
An interesting view on Turkish history you introduce here to us by this impressive picture and the references in the info. I still can remember his face with the large glasses and the dark moustache.
In think politics in Turkey has change a lot after he was prime minister.

Hello Burak,
An interesting photo. I think the present President lives more comfortably than one of the former Prime ministers. There were probably no golden toilets in this place.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Burak,
I do remember Bulent Ecevit as a prime-minister, but never knew he was in prison, and still wonder why, which you had not comment about.
It would be an understatement to claim this cell as a "Hilton", but interesting to know.
Have a nice new week,
Ike

Bonjour Burak

J'aime beaucoup la grande simplicitй de cette composition qui a le grand avantage de raconter une histoire dans l'histoire. J'aime la gestion de la lumiиre ainsi que les textures des murs.

Amicalement

Hello Burak,

Now I understand the five star when I see the bedroom, but I think that today yet much countries are with the same situations, sure in Africa.
Your picture is very nice and absolutely a visit worthy.
I know not much about the politic in Turkey.
Sharpness and colours are fantastic.
Composition and presentation are nice done.
Very well done, TFS.

Kind regards,
John.

Burak Bey,
Benim Memleketimden biri acaba neden yorum yazmadı?Yoksa daha fotoğrafı gцrmedilermi?
Bьlent Ecevit'i sever veya sevmezsiniz.Memleketimde her yaşıyan цzellikle beni yaşında(75) olanları daha iyi bilir.
Aklıma Mьnih'te bulunan Meşhur! nazi kampı geldi.Oraya gittim,
ana kapının sol tarafında bulunan Mьzeyide (fotoğrafları,mьzenin yapılmasında katkıda bulunanları(Tьrkiye'de var) okudum ,seyrettim.
Binanın karşısında bulunan Demir heykel gurubunun fotoğrafınıda зektim,yıl 1986.
Ama orada kaldım,gaz odalarını,koğuşları gezemedim,miğdem bulandı.
Gьcь yetenin mazluma her istediğini yaptığı dьnyada en bьyьk цrnek 2.ci dьnya harbi idi.
Ders alındımı? Fotoğrafınız ortada.......

Hello Burak,

An ironic title of the Hilton. This would have to be worse than the worst hotel I have ever stayed in! The museum display is very interesting. Good sharpness and Bulent certainly improved his status in life! Tfs!

Hi Burak!
This looks like a very interesting series, I'll check the next ones also. The visit must be impressive but a great lesson for sure. I like the composition here.

Selamlar Burak,
İlginз bir deneyim olmalı burasını ziyaret etmek. Sanırım Bьlent Ecevit 1980 darbesinden sonra buraya girmiştir. Ecevit’in reminin altındaki kimin resmi? Ben tanıyamadım.
Saygılarımla,
