Or were those days a dream? Today we are going on a journey to the changing past of the city with the gentlemen and ladies of Istanbul. On this journey, there is the excitement of a child going to school in Beyaz\u0131t, the happiness of a girl throwing bait to pigeons in Ey\u00fcp Sultan, the lives that intersect in Narl\u0131 Kap\u0131 dead end, the past of Nevizade, the bright years of Ye\u015fil\u00e7am, the coal smoke rising from the wooden houses of Fatih, the perfume of the streets of Ni\u015fanta\u015f\u0131. Remzi G\u00f6kda\u011f, the author of the book Dear Istanbul, which brings together the lives of twenty very special names in old Istanbul, their surprises, disappointments and innocent memories of their childhood years, will talk about the book.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let&#8217;s start with your Istanbul first. Then tell us about the twenty names in the book.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was born in 1968 in Istanbul. My childhood years were spent in Be\u015fikta\u015f, one of the oldest neighborhoods of Istanbul. But I don&#8217;t have many memories of Be\u015fikta\u015f. Because we moved to \u00c7apa when I was four years old. \u00c7apa is in the middle of the Historical Peninsula. It is an area where you can see examples of Byzantine buildings and Ottoman architecture. When I say in the middle of the Historical Peninsula, I mean within walking distance to the walls of Topkap\u0131, Vatan Street and Samatya Aksaray. I spent my childhood in such a place. We didn&#8217;t leave any old building or tree unexplored in the neighborhood and we spent many pleasant days with our friends. In later years, I did my primary and secondary education in the same neighborhood. I graduated from Istanbul University&#8217;s School of Press and Publications. These are the oldest neighborhoods in Istanbul and the neighborhoods with the most historical buildings. I felt the urge to do something to find the memories of those days in my childhood and I embarked on such an endeavor. Dear Istanbul emerged as a result of such an idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>During your years as a journalist in Istanbul, you also reported a lot about the architectural texture of Istanbul and its new buildings. Could you tell us a little bit about them? I mean about Istanbul? Your interest in Istanbul&#8217;s silhouette or its construction was also present while you were practicing your profession. I would like you to tell us a little bit about that too.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started my career in journalism at a time when there were no plazas yet. My first professional days were at a newspaper with a wooden mansion in its garden. When I started journalism, my field was Istanbul. Of course, I did not choose this field. The management of the newspaper at that time saw a need and assigned me to this field. I started as a reporter. My love for Istanbul inspired my profession. It was like killing two birds with one stone. There was already a city I loved and I was doing the profession I loved so much, I was studying the city. In other words, all the news, comments, decisions made by the municipal councils, zoning practices related to that city were all under the microscope and within my field of interest. This inevitably led me to learn about Istanbul much more closely. Unfortunately, many green areas and historical buildings that we lost as a result of the zoning practices and decisions taken at that time no longer exist today. I say this with regret. When I look back, I wish we could have changed something, I wish we could have brought our struggle to a conclusion. But unfortunately, we, the lovers of Istanbul who defend the city, were the defeated side in this struggle. The winners, unfortunately, were those who destroyed the historical identity of the city and built structures that criticized the urban life in an inappropriate way. Something could have been changed. We had opportunities. Unfortunately, we chose the easy way at that time. I say we lost the struggle because at that time we were surrounded by a community that created urban consciousness and Istanbul could have gone in a very different direction. For example, our struggle for the Park Hotel is an event that has gone down in the history of urban consciousness. The people of that neighborhood engaged in a great struggle. This struggle was not a struggle with stones, sticks or against the police. It was entirely the result of a search for the law and they won this struggle. Park Hotel also constitutes an example, a point in the history of Istanbul&#8217;s urban consciousness. Therefore, it is an important issue. But the group that stopped that giant building could not stop another building just a few hundred meters away from that building, down the slope. Or they could not stop the buildings in other neighborhoods that disrupt the identity of Istanbul. They ask me what was the crime of the Park Hotel. It was a struggle, an exemplary struggle, a symbolic struggle. I wish we could have succeeded in the others, but we didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So how did this book come about? How did you identify 20 names, how did you choose them? When and how did you meet and interview them and prepare this book? Sorry, let me tell you right away, for those who are listening to us, the name of the book is published by Dear Istanbul Publications. The subtitle is Memories from Old Istanbul, Real Life Stories. Remzi G\u00f6kda\u011f tells us, here you go.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea for the book was actually formed far away from Turkey, in another corner of the world. I lived abroad for many years and unfortunately neglected Istanbul. I had to live separately from a city I loved very much. Istanbul was burning in my eyes during the days I spent abroad. This is a feeling that everyone can feel right now, everyone who lives far away from Istanbul. I felt the need to do something for my city. More precisely, I felt indebted to this city. I had to pay this debt somehow. When I returned, I first came across my archive and the news I had covered. Then I scanned my photographs and names appeared before me. It was not difficult to reach these twenty names, and when I reached them and told them about the project, each of them accepted it gladly. I was excited, but I felt an excitement from the other side that overwhelmed my own excitement. When choosing these names, I made sure that they were people of different professions, of different ages, describing different neighborhoods and their experiences in Istanbul. Among these people are Ara G\u00fcler, H\u0131fz\u0131 Topuz, Halit K\u0131van\u00e7, Muhterem Nur, Sefa \u00d6nal, Nurettin S\u00f6zen and many others. There is also Oktay Akbal, Do\u011fan Kuban and recently deceased Hasan Pulur and Yorgo Okumu\u015f, who left his mark on Nevizade&#8217;s past. It hurts to lose such people. But we need to appreciate them while they are alive. That&#8217;s why I started this work to preserve the memories of these people about Istanbul and to pass them on to future generations. In other words, it was necessary to do something before time passed. It was necessary to take a step without completely forgetting those days. We think that we can develop by destroying everything from the past. But these people told us that this was not the case. They talked about their experiences, the most innocent memories of their childhood days. The things they talked about in friendly gatherings were recorded and became the book Dear Istanbul. I hope that those who read this book will learn something from the experiences of these people, and that they will organize their own Istanbulites and learn a lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We hope so. So what did you listen to from these 20 names? In other words, in which areas, in which neighborhoods, what striking things, things to underline, did they say? What did they have in common?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important feature of these twenty names was that they talked about different neighborhoods and different histories. For example Ara G\u00fcler&#8230; We know him as the man who captured the soul of Istanbul. In our conversation, he talked about Beyo\u011flu, Istiklal Street, the narrow streets of Karak\u00f6y. We talked about the places where those photographs that never leave our eyes were taken. I still remember one of his words. &#8220;I have taken photographs of Istanbul, authored hundreds of books, made many documentaries. The world knows who I am. I tried to promote Istanbul, but did I succeed? No, I couldn&#8217;t. I couldn&#8217;t afford to promote Istanbul. You won&#8217;t be able to with you,&#8221; he told me. &#8220;You won&#8217;t be able to promote Istanbul either because Istanbul cannot be described in books, words or photographs. Istanbul can only be experienced.&#8221; This statement is still in my ears. Indeed, Istanbul is a city to be experienced. A place with surprises around every corner. It just needs a little attention. Those who live in Istanbul should pick up a book. A very valuable scientist I have featured in these interviews is John Freely. He is an American who taught physics at Bo\u011fazi\u00e7i University for many years and is now living his retirement days. He is a person who knows Istanbul very well on the university campus and he has written the registered history of every building in Beyo\u011flu. He says, &#8220;When you cross that corner and go to the opposite sidewalk, lift your head and look at the marble at the end of the building.&#8221; And he tells the story of the shape you will see on that marble. It is not just about buildings, it is about life in Istanbul. He talks about the neighborhood relations that are now disappearing, the way shopkeepers treat citizens. These are written by an American and this American knows, knows and loves Istanbul much better than us. Similarly, H\u0131fz\u0131 Topuz has countless books about Istanbul. They must be read. Haldun H\u00fcrel takes the reader on a tour of Istanbul in his marvelous style. So it is necessary to read, it is necessary to know. I immediately thought of a quote here. Mr. Do\u011fan Kuban is a very valuable architectural historian. In an interview we had with him, he said the following. &#8220;You cannot save Istanbul without loving it, and you cannot love it without knowing it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In order to know, you need to read. You need to know its history. This is not just knowing the history of the conquest of Istanbul in 1453. You also need to know about the Park Hotel and how this city was built step by step. We need to know its recent history well and there are many source books to read to know this. Well, let me ask you the last thing, these 20 names are on average over 70 years old. Yes, they are. So you interviewed names born in the 1920s and 30s. Do they have pessimism or hope? What are they pessimistic about and what are they hopeful about? I mean, of course. As the world changes, as the population changes, of course the zoning, the plan of a city will change, its silhouette will change. But is it possible to change without losing beauty? Where do they feel pessimistic and where are they hopeful?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our conversations usually started with their childhood. Then the memories of Istanbul that marked their lives. Especially the childhood parts were very enjoyable. There was a longing for the past in the memories of the people I talked to. Let&#8217;s not call it nostalgia, but they were expressing the taste of the past. But as they saw the unplanned, rapid demolitions and the state the city is in today, their perspective changed. I can&#8217;t say they became pessimistic, because pessimism is desperation. It is like saying that there is nothing to do and submitting to the existing order. These are people who have been used to hardship in the past, people who know difficult life conditions and people who still keep their hopes. None of them were pessimistic. Each of them had hopes for the future and high expectations for the future from young people. That&#8217;s why they took the time to talk to me. That&#8217;s why they shared their memories with me. Muhterem Nur, the star of Ye\u015fil\u00e7am, the lady of Istanbul. She opened her door and told the journalist about her past, her best years in Istanbul. I don&#8217;t think they were thinking pessimistically when they were doing this. They believe that the city will somehow get better, that someone will stop this trend. At least those someone are young people. That&#8217;s why I believe that this book, Dear Istanbul, will only be of interest to young people who want to take a trip back in time and remember those days. For example. When I was talking to R\u00fckn\u00fc \u00d6zk\u00f6k, I asked him, &#8220;Are you pessimistic?&#8221; He said, &#8220;When I see the city in this state, I go out on the street, take my camera and try to photograph it. This relaxes me.&#8221; When I get angry, I pick up my camera and take photos of the beautiful corners of Istanbul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remzi G\u00f6kda\u011f Thank you very much.
