Landscaping, lighting and some maintenance and repair works continue in Bırca Belek. In parallel with these studies, we ordered machines, robots and other works to be exhibited at the Cezeri Museum. “If God allows, the museum work will be completed in the summer.”

Many historical artifacts from the Gudi, Babylonian, Assyrian, Artuqid and Ottoman periods, which reflect the deep-rooted history of Cizre, are in the Museum.
A wonderful historical place. When you wander inside, you dive into the depths of history and feel as if you are living in those times. These places need to be introduced and everyone, especially young people, should see these places and learn about their country and history. But I am very against these fees. Learning my history with high wages in the territory of my own country is something I feel ashamed of.
