Şirince

The historical village of Şirince, which is visited by around 4,000 people daily in the spring months, has been silent for two months due to the outbreak.

Turkish-Armenian linguist and writer Sevan Nişanyan, who was jailed in 2014 over charges of illegal construction in the town of Şirince in the Aegean province of İzmir, announced in a Twitter post on July 14 that he had escaped from prison.

"The bird has flown away. The same wishes to the remaining 80 million," read the message on Nişanyan's Twitter page.
