The Initiative to keep Hasankeyf alive has published new satellite images from the dam affected region. The destruction by the Ilisu Dam continues to grow, said activists who vowed to "continue to resist against the destruction of the 12,000 years old city. It is still not too late for Hasankeyf and the Tigris River!"
To make sure Hasankeyf is not forgotten and to stress that initiative is still needed, a cultural event will be held in Istanbul tomorrow, Saturday.
