The administration of Turkish province of Izmir made a decision on demolition of 22 buildings in the village Sirinje, a famous tourist attraction of the province. Over16 houses were designed by the renowned writer, a linguist, a correspondent of “Taraf” newspaper Sevan Nishanyan. The buildings are known as “Nishanyan houses”.

The place with houses of unique architectural solutions has become a tourism spot. Two buildings belonging to the foundation of Turkish writer Aziz Nesin are also among them. His son is also protesting over their demolition, Milliyet reports.

According to Nishanyan, the authorities are trying to destroy him by this decision. The authorities also decided to demolish illegal buildings of other rural residents.

“If they want blood, there will be blood. Bureaucracy can win this time too, but they will not win the battle as they are fighting against the people,” he said.
