A retired officer who suffers from Parkinson's disease in the Black Sea province of Düzce's Akçakoca district is spending his time making ornaments from trees despite his illness, which restricts his mobility, calling his hobby "carving dreams into trees."

A wooden bust of Vladimir Lenin, the founder of the Russian Communist Party and the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution, that washed up on a beach off the Akçakoca district of the Black Sea province of Düzce in 1991 is set to be filmed, private broadcaster CNN Turk has reported.  

Education was halted on the third day of the new school year at a high school in the Akçakoca district of the Black Sea province of Düzce, as tensions grew following the school's conversion to a girls' vocational imam-hatip religious school.

An Airbus A300 will be sunk in the Aegean Sea off Ku?adas? to serve as a reef and attract diving tourists in the resort town as part of a municipal project.

The airplane, which was brought to the Güzelçaml? neighborhood of the town via five trucking rigs after being dismantled in Istanbul, will be sunk in the Ku?adas? gulf on May 28.

Restoration work will begin next year at a Genoese castle, which is on UNESCO's Temporary World Heritage List, in the Black Sea province of Düzce, officials have said.
