"Suriye'nin Kaderini Değiştireceksin!" | Dünyadan Misafir Sesler 29

In this video, we host Saad Hacıömer, who fled the civil war in Syria and sought refuge in Türkiye between 2014-2015, and grew up here. After his school and home were bombed, Saad decided to emigrate to Türkiye, and he shares his challenging yet inspiring life story, from Gaziantep to Kayseri and then to Ankara. He recounts the cultural shock he experienced upon arriving in Türkiye, the language barrier, and the "never say no to a customer" culture he learned from Kayseri shopkeepers, all with heartwarming anecdotes. In the program, you will witness how, contrary to the prejudices on social media, Turks who went to Syria were greeted with great hospitality and affection, with people saying, "You are from Türkiye, how could we stop you?" Our guest, who is currently studying international relations and politics, aims to build a political bridge between the two countries in the future. We also explore cultural delicacies such as Aleppo's famous stuffed meatballs, which have 52 different varieties, and cherry kebab. Don't miss this profound and insightful conversation about Turkey-Syria relations from the perspective of a young man caught in the dilemma of "the heart says to leave, the mind says to stay."
