Gaziantep is a city in Turkey’s Southeast, 60 miles north of Aleppo in northern Syria. It is the sixth most populous city in Turkey and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cites in the world, starting out as part of the ancient Semitic kingdom of Yamhad, which emerged at the end of the 19th century B.C. and was based in Aleppo.

I imagine this was a truckload of agricultural workers returning home.

I should note that we also went to Antakya on this trip, but I have no scanned pictures of it (although I did locate the original prints) and can’t seem to find a scanner that works reliably with Mac. Any suggestions would be welcome.
