There are seven geographical regions and 81 provinces in Turkey. As it is in other countries, some provinces in Turkey are fortunate in terms of their tourism, industry, and education. It is very nice to see that the government tries to develop even the most remote towns. However, there are remarkable differences among these cities. For example, while Istanbul is one of the most developed cities, Ardahan may be regarded as one of the least developed ones in Turkey. Although these two provinces of Turkey have a few similarities, there are greater differences between them.
Istanbul and Ardahan have several similarities. Istanbul has a few nations, and Ardahan is too. Ardahan’s traditions and cultures are just like Istanbul’s. Also, Ardahan’s sport club is similar to Istanbul B. B. sport club. In addition, both Ardahan and Istanbul have ancient historical sites like Ardahan Castle and Rumelian Fortress.
Despite these similarities, Ardahan and Istanbul have some very significant differences as well. One important difference is how to ensure people’s livelihood. Ardahaners earn their living by agriculture. In contrast, Istanbulers make a living by working in industry. The Ardahaners differ from Istanbulers in food varieties. Ardahaners ingest the most natural nutrition like yogurt and cheese. Also, Ardahaners have a peaceful life, while Istanbulers lead an active and stressful life.
To sum up, it is clear that although there are some important similarities between Ardahan and Istanbul, there are significant differences. I believe that these diversities will disappear day by day in the future via more economic and financial investment in Ardahan.
