The Story of a Lonely Life in an Abandoned Village in Aksaray

72-year-old Uncle Selami lives alone in the village of 180 houses in Aksaray, which was completely evacuated 11 years ago due to the drying up of water resources. The old man clings to life alone in the settlement, which has become deserted after all the village people left the settlement.

The village was completely abandoned after the mass migration due to water shortage in the region. Stating that he found peace despite the difficulties he experienced, Uncle Selami stated that he got used to loneliness and was satisfied with his current lifestyle.
