The western Turkish town of Çe?me, a district of the ?zmir province, has launched a campaign to promote nine of its local destinations known for their unique beauty.

A local court in Turkey?s Aegean region adopted the motion for a stay of execution regarding a tender to rent a forested bays located on one of the country?s most beautiful coasts, following previous orders regarding two other bays. 

A number of forested bays in one of Turkey?s most beautiful coastal idylls will be opened to tender by the Forestry and Waterworks Ministry, though many locals are opposed to the move and claim it will allow rapid ?concretization,? as is the case elsewhere in the country.

There are 32 Turkish citizens on Forbes? 2015 list of billionaires, the magazine announced on late March 2.

Among these 32 people, Murat Ülker was ranked the richest person from Turkey. He is the chairman of Y?ld?z Holding, which owns U.K.-based United Biscuits and Godiva Chocolates, and has a net worth of $4.4 billion. Ülker was ranked the 368th wealthiest person in the world.

?Istanbul,? a work by the late Bedri Rahmi Eyübo?lu, one of the leading figures of contemporary Turkish art, will be put up for sale for the first time at an auction by Antik A.?.

The 195-by-335-centimeter oil painting from 1955 is a reflection of Eyübo?lu?s famous poem ?The Epic of Istanbul? on canvas, and has come to the auction from the collection of the artist?s family.
