Hasan Paşa Han is most popular spot for #Turkishbreakfast in #diyarbakir, but it also contains a number of lovely antique shops . I bought some lovely ruby earrings from Hüseyin Diril on the first floor.

On May 27, 1960, Turkey's first military coup ousted PM Adnan Menderes, leading to his execution and a new constitution in 1961. #TurkishHistory
