This book is published as part of the event “Istanbul – The City Where Faiths Meet: All Together and Side by Side,” organized by the Karaköy Rotary Club of Istanbul. The publication and printing of this book were made possible by the support of the Goethe Institute Istanbul. The photographs appearing in this book were selected from the exhibition “Istanbul – The City Where Faiths Meet: All Together and Side by Side,” organized by Ara Güler, Ani Çelik Arevyan, Kamil Fırat, Manuel Çıtak, Murat Germen and Orhan Cem Çetin. During the event, Ara Güler also made his extensive archive available. Within the framework of the event, a symposium on the same theme was held on November 22, 1996 at the auditorium of the Milli Reasürans Art Gallery. The symposium was chaired by Prof. Dr. Afife Batur, with the participation of Prof. Dr. Stefanos Yerasimos, Dr. Arus Yumul, Prof. Dr. Hüsrev Hatemi, Dr. Paul Imhof and Aydın Boysan. 1000 copies of the posters designed by Esen Karol were printed to announce this project.
