A two-day strike in Izmir, impacting metro and tram services, resulted in transport difficulties and increased traffic for the city’s residents. Mayor Tunç Soyer announced on social media that the strike was over after an agreement was reached. The new agreement, negotiated with the Demiryol-İş Union, sets the lowest salary for İzmir Metro AŞ employees at 22,105 TL and the highest at 25,009 TL. It also includes an average 7% increase in other social benefits.
A full moon rising over Lake Van in the Ahlat district of Türkiye’s Bitlis province created a breathtaking spectacle as it reflected off the calm waters. Locals and visitors gathered along the lakeshore to witness and photograph the scene, with many describing it as an unforgettable moment.
Nature photographer Şahin Şerefoğlu, who captured the moonrise at Ahlat Pier, said, “We’re in one of the most beautiful places to watch the full moon. We invite all nature lovers to experience this view.”
Travelers from other regions, including Şanlıurfa, also came to enjoy the view, turning the lakeside into a popular spot for moon gazing and photography.
