10th Diyarbakır Book Fair Opened Its Doors But Participation Dropped
Due to high costs and declining interest, participation of publishing houses and readers in the 10th Diyarbakır Book Fair dropped significantly compared to previous years.
Opening its doors for the tenth time, the Diyarbakır Book Fair failed to see the expected previous interest due to rising shipping expenses, high costs, and low sales figures.
Current Status of the Fair
The 10th Diyarbakır Book Fair came to the agenda with drops in the number of participants this year. While publishing houses and readers did not show sufficient interest in the fair, contractions in the fair area also drew attention.
Challenges Faced by Publishing Houses
Representatives of Yordam Kitap and İletişim Yayınları stated that participation in the fair decreased due to high costs and shipping expenses, as well as low sales.
Company Establishment and Discussions
On the other hand, information that Hatice Sayan, born in 1954, established a company named 'Hayat Var Gayrimenkul Yatırım İnşaat A.Ş.' with a capital of 1 million liras was reflected to the public.
Fund Investments and Statements
The news also included the fund investments of Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya and her husband İlyas Kaya, Savings Deposit Insurance Fund refunds, and statements by Fatih Altaylı on the subject.
