The southern province of Antalya was plunged into chaos late on March 5 as a relentless downpour, accompanied by two separate tornadoes sweeping in from the sea, wreaked havoc across the region, damaging crucial agricultural land.

Schools across the southeastern province of Şanlıurfa remained closed yesterday as a result of heavy downpours inundating the region, following warnings issued by meteorologists about potential flooding.

Heavy downpours overnight in the Mediterranean province of Antalya have led to widespread flooding, resulting in the death of one resident in the Kepez district.

The deluge, intensifying during the night, caused water accumulation on roads, making it challenging for both pedestrians and vehicles to move. Some rural neighborhoods witnessed flooding in homes and businesses.

According to sector representatives, Türkiye, which currently supplies 80 percent of the world's carnation needs, has the potential to generate significantly more revenue from manufacturing with more sophisticated marketing strategies.

Producers in the southern province of Antalya export flowers to 33 countries in Europe, especially the Netherlands.

Police in the southern province of Antalya have detained a man who raped a 12-year-old child, who asked for help in a note she wrote on a stone.

The local then uploaded the stone's photo on social media and asked for help.

A 51-year-old man from the southern province of Antalya who has been collecting toy cars for the past 43 years now wishes to donate them to a toy museum to make his name remembered.

His collection consists of more than a thousand toy cars of different colors and types.
