116 S.G: Was there any love story between Greeks and Turks that time? I.H: Yes, one of the Greeks became a Muslim; her name was Saniye “dönme Saniye” (one who changes religion, gender, nationality). She was performing prayer; she gave birth to a child. When they were leaving our village, they also wanted to stay, they said we do speak Turkish, however they were not allowed that time. S.G: A lot of young people came to Kayaköy to organise and to participate in a peace festival. How do you feel about it? I am a teacher of religion. No matter which religion one believes in all the principles of prophets leads to one address: God. All the religions want peaceful co-existence, sincere manners. The Quran is in Arabic, however it does not address for Arabia, but for all the citizens. All is equal; we are all brothers & sisters. I am very happy that they came here to visit us. I am really glad to see the integration between the Turkish and Greek youth, especially the ways they got closer to each other. They stayed in same places, same houses, they fell in love with each other. “During the time of Yıldırım Beyazıt, a delegation is sent from Kayaköy to İstanbul. They request an artist to the village from the sultan, and Rum origin Ottomans come to Kayaköy do not only teach art but they also settle in Kayaköy. The weather, fresh air, water and oxygen of this village is very unique. They like the village and then they start building houses. They want their uncles, relatives also to come and settle there. The village population becomes 17 thousand.” “A professor from the States once visited the village, he makes a measurement. Oxygen measurement equipment gets out of order and he calls the US saying the oxygen rate in the village is 90 percent iodine 10 percent. Inhabitants are healthy the food tastes sweet.” “MEETING OF MAYORS IN THE VILLAGE OF CULTURE AND PEACE” MAKRI MEETING NEA MAKRI Thanks to the Festival, Hellenic Tourism Organisation EOT president Kostas Katsigiannis as well as Nea Makri Mayor Ioannis Yordanis had the chance to pay a visit to Mayor of Fethiye and they presented a plaquette to the Turkish Mayor. Nea Makri Mayor Yordanis’s grandfather had to abandon Kayaköy to settle in Greece due to the exchange of populations and the grandfather of Mayor of Fethiye came from Creta (Crete) to Rhodes and then Rhodes to Fethiye. Yordanis was very excited to extend the greetings of Nea Makri inhabitants, mentioning their city Nea Makri was established out of the roots of Fethiye, Nea Makri (New Fethiye) was established by the people who were coming from Fethiye (Makre). Yordanis was very happy to see Antique Telmessos area; Makri and Levissi very well-developed and rich. During the visit, both Mayors talked about joint projects, transportation facilities for frequent visits, investments in Kayaköy and Kayaköy as the village of friendship and peace. They both expressed they want to come back again and next time without the need for any interpreter. After a Turkish/Greek coffee, journalists had the chance to ask questions: The most striking one was „Is it possible to organise such a festival in Greece maybe in Dodecanese Islands aiming to enhance integration of people? The answer was positive, but all the young people would be needed to contribute in this achievement. Nea Makri Dancers, young people of Nea Makri was one of the most breathtaking part of our festival. Apart from the excitement they had knowing their ancestors were from that village, Kayaköy, they also amazed all the villagers and participants with their dances. The first four dances they performed was from Crete, the last dances were from Traki-Thrace as well as the island of Salamina and the island of Mitilini.

FROM A TURKISH PARTICIPANT “If you came to a village in Greece that lived two thousand Turkish people and see you now you see now what is alive, how would you feel like?” “Not very pleasant, but I think Turks could have and keep this village as they inherited, the Greek people lived here and now Turkish people lives here .They lived together and I think they can live together in every place, no matter if you are Turkish if you are Greek you can live with everybody!” QUOTATIONS AND COLOURS FROM THE KAYAFEST ACTIVITIES Baba Zula “I came to Kayaköy and was not feeling good. I called a person from here and i visited him. I want to play this song for him, for Ramazan Güngör from Fethiye master of three string saz” During their performance at the opening concert of the Festival, Baba Zula improvised a song about Kayaköy.

What is Theater Sport? Have you ever seen a theater sport before? We will form two teams out of eight people here and depending on your guidance; we will have a competition in three phases. A jury out of five volunteers will decide on the winner. We will write some expressions on these white papers: “LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL” “BEER IS PRETTY EXPENSIVE IN MARKETS” We need to declare one person as the criminal and we will send him/her away this person will not be able to hear what we talk here. However, we will find out and assign a crime for this person. Later on, we will call this person back for interrogation. Our interrogators will try to make them confess the crimes we assigned for them. The questions cannot refer to the crime. “Research Center for Mosquito’s Sexual Life” KayaFest Youth and Culture Festival 117
