There are now 15 sites in Turkey on the Unesco World Heritage List. Now, two more new sites have been added: the ancient city of Ephesus and the historic Diyarbakir Fortress and Hevsel Gardens.
They were included as cultural properties at the 39th session of the World Heritage Committee. Incidentally, Turkey will host next year’s United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization meeting in its capital of Istanbul.
