TURKEY. Hasankeyf, 2019. Ridvan Ayhan, 63 years old, activist, sits in a restaurant in old Hasankeyf.

The city, whose first settlements date back 12,000 years, has an exceptional archaeological heritage: Assyrian, Roman and Ottoman monuments, thousand-year-old troglodyte houses, remains of a stone bridge and a 12th century mosque are part of it.

Hasankeyf is however condemned to disappear under the water due to the construction of the Ilisu dam on the Tigris River. A total of 70,000 people will be displaced and 119 villages condemned to disappear.
