Perspectives: Ali Ahmad Said Asbar (aka Adonis)

"İstanbul is an organic meeting point where man and landscape mingle … and which has everything it takes to be a matchless capital of culture. Among all cities that used to serve as capitals before, capitals of the present day and the capitals of the future, I deem İstanbul to be one of the most significant of the latter. It is not only a project of objective and organic expansion, but [İstanbul] it's in a position which this project is ... put into practice."
- Syrian Poet & Essaying Ali Ahmad Said Asbar (writing under the pen name Adonis)
