The Demirel family’s house, which is located on a hill after the main construction company demolished the houses and the land around the Demirel home, had initially become a symbol of resistance against urban transformation projects in the country, as they refused to sell their house in exchange for apartments.

Despite his protests, Demirel signed an agreement with the company, Vartaş Yapı, on Aug. 4. Like the other 584 local shareholders, Demirel will receive five apartments in return for his house, said Ömer Faruk Barata, chairman of Vartaş Yapı. DHA Photo
