“Like a porter, I loaded my cart with Eastern goods from Syllas and Iconium; authentic Anatolian narratives, told with nostalgia and pain for the 'blessed places', the long-standing coexistence with the Turks, the faith in ancestral tradition and Hellenism, the winter evenings filled with captivating tales and the jests of Nasreddin Hodja, but also the persecution, the exiles, the executions, and finally the forced uprooting.”

“And then to Drapetsona, where with resilience and unprecedented optimism they fought for survival and adaptation in a new place and a new way of life... These and many more are loaded for you in the cart titled: Oh, Minor Asia! Syllas, the land of our parents.”
