Description
Asi River - Antakya [Hatay / Turkey]
( Asi Nehri ) Also known as the Asi River, the Orontes is the only perennial river in Western Asia that flows north from Lebanon to Syria and Turkey and drains west into the Mediterranean Sea. Its flow regime shows typical winter peak flows due to increased precipitation, and summer low flows maintained exclusively by groundwater discharge.
The river is mainly used for irrigation purposes with several agricultural projects planned in the three riparian countries. Water quality at the headwaters is generally good, but deteriorates in the middle and lower reaches of the river due to agricultural, urban and industrial activities.

Escape to Antioch
Now lying substantially buried beneath the rubble of countless earthquakes and ancient conflicts near the modern city of Antakya, Turkey, ancient Antioch was, at the time of Christ, the third most important city of the Roman Empire. Founded in 300 BC, it served as capital of the Seleucid Empire until, in 64 BC, it was annexed to the Roman Republic by Pompey. ...

The Museum Hotel Antakya
The Museum Hotel Antakya; an interesting project, that is brave as much as it is interesting, and delicate as much as it is brave, that'll set a precedent for the whole world.
Even though everyone thought the project was impossible to finish, it became a national pride when Asfuroğlu family completed it through their faith and belief. Because it is one of the rare projects which has Turkish instructors, archaeologists, workers and sponsors.

Turkey's historic dispute with Syria - the Hatay Province
Turkey has fiercely protected its border with Syria by shooting down a Russian plane. But there's more to the story. That land - the Hatay Province - has been historically contested land between Turkey and Syria. Here's why, with Enis Senderdem from BBC Turkish.
Ancient church tells story of early days of Christianity
LEAD IN:
As Pope Francis I arrives in Turkey, Catholic priests in the country are calling for an ancient church that has been turned into a museum to be reopened for Christian worship.
St Peter's Cave Church, in South East Turkey's Antakya city, is according to oral tradition, the place where St Peter first preached when Christianity was founded.
STORYLINE:
Carved into the ancient rock of Mount Starius, St Peter's Cave Church is thought to be one of Christianity's oldest churches.
According to historians St. Peter arrived in Antioch together with St Paul and Barnabas in 42-43 A.D and began disseminating Christianity from the city.
And although there is no archaeological evidence that the Apostle prayed specifically in this cave, historians believe that caves in Mount Starius where the first places where Christians secretly united for prayer.
In the time it was not a church, it was just a grotto. And we think it was a place of worship for the pagans. And after the Christians, they changed into a place of worship for the Christians. And for this reason, the Grotto of St Peter is important because (it) remembers the beginning of our Church in Antioch (antakya), says Father Domenico Bertogli, the Italian Catholic Priest of Antioch (Christian name for Antakya) of the order of Capuchins.
It was in Antioch that we were called Christians for the first time. It was in Antioch where the Gospel was opened to the pagans, because (until then) it was a question of Jews, into the Judaism. It was in Antioch where the Mission expedition began he adds.
In 1987 the church was turned into a museum by the local authorities. In 2012 it was closed for renovation due to a risk of stones falling from the mountain.
According to the Archaeological Museum of Antakya, in 2012 the church received 16,000 foreign visitors and 93,000 local ones. The church interior is still closed to visitors until the renovations are complete.
Antakya is nowadays the capital city of Hatay province, bordering the volatile conflict in Syria.
According to historians, St Peter most likely lived in the Jewish neighbourhood in downtown Antakya, where Christians also conducted meetings in private houses.
There are mosaics from the 5th Century A.D. There are remains of plasters on the wall - even though they are have almost disappeared. That proves that in the early 5th Century this place was used as a church, says Professor Hatice Pamir, from the Archaeological Department at University Mustafa Kemal in Antakya.
But evidence points towards Christian worship in the caves much earlier.
There are archaeological records that the Apostles and the first Christians used the caves along the valley of the Parmenius Gorge (that descends towards the Orontes river in Hatay), she says.
Renovation works on the church are almost finished, although there is not a fixed date for its reopening to visitors.
Father Bertogli says he hopes that the church will reopen as a serving place of worship, rather than a museum.
We don't accept for the church to become a museum. It is a church and we want it to become a church. Just for all the Christians, when they come to Antioch, to visit, to pray, to stay sometime there.
Antakya city, with a population of 250,000, has nowadays one thousand Christians, one hundred of them belonging to the Catholic church, according to figures by Christian authorities in town.
The city is a mix of ethnicities and religions.
More than half of the population of Antakya are Sunni Muslim, followed by Alawis and Christian Arabs.
In the old town, a Catholic church, a mosque and a synagogue gather in a few hundred square metres.
In one of the Catholic buildings, members of the Peace House Chorus sing praise.

Antakya is a large but average-looking city in southeast Turkey, just 12 miles from the Syrian border. A modern visitor to Antakya would not likely think the city has any great significance, but beneath his feet lie the silent remains of Antioch-on-the-Orontes, the city once called the fair crown of the Orient. Antioch was a city of great religious importance. It was the home of several Roman temples and its suburb, Daphne, was held to be the very place where Daphne was turned into a laurel tree to escape the affections of Apollo. Antioch had also been the home of a large Jewish community since the city's founding in 300 BC. In the 1930s, extensive excavations were undertaken in Antakya, uncovering a magnificent treasure trove of ancient mosaics and artifacts. But no major buildings of ancient Antioch were found and most of the ancient city still waits to be discovered. The main sights to be seen in Antakya today are the mosaics in the Hatay Archaeological Museum
