EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the serene beauty of the Euphrates River at Jarabulus, Syria, with its iconic bridge and a line of traditional river barges in the foreground. The image, believed to have been taken in the 1910s, showcases the timeless allure of this historic location, which lies just south of the Syrian-Turkish border. The bridge, known as Qarah Qawzaq Bridge, has stood as a vital connection between the two countries for centuries, allowing trade and commerce to flow between the regions. The river barges, laden with goods, add to the scene's charm and provide a glimpse into the past when such waterways were the primary means of transportation. However, the tranquility of this scene was disrupted in 2014 when Turkish forces crossed the border at Jarabulus to protect the Tomb of Suleyman Shah from an imminent attack by ISIS militants. The tomb, located near the bridge, is an essential part of Turkish history and culture, as it is believed to be the burial place of the legendary Anatolian hero, Suleyman Shah. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of this region, which has been shaped by various civilizations throughout the ages. It also highlights the importance of preserving historical sites and maintaining peace and stability in the area, allowing future generations to appreciate the beauty and heritage of the Euphrates River at Jarabulus.
