EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the image of Sofou, a blind Turkish beggar from the historic region of Cilicia in southern Turkey, specifically from the city of Adana. The photograph, taken in an era long past, transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past realities of life in this part of the world. Sofou's worn and tattered clothing, a mere collection of rags, speaks volumes about the hardships he endured. His blind eyes, closed in resignation, tell a story of despair and perseverance. Yet, despite his circumstances, there is a certain dignity and resilience in his posture that is both humbling and inspiring. Cilicia, an ancient land rich in history and culture, has seen its fair share of turmoil and transformation throughout the centuries. The region, located along the Mediterranean coast, has been ruled by various civilizations, including the Hittites, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans. The photograph of Sofou serves as a poignant reminder of the human element that has always been a part of this historic land. The photograph also highlights the stark contrast between the past and the present, inviting us to reflect on the progress and changes that have taken place in Turkey and the world at large. It is a powerful reminder of the enduring human spirit and the resilience of those who face adversity with courage and determination.
