A historical tombstone featuring an arrow symbol has been stolen from the Oğuz Türkmen Üçok Cemetery in the Yüreğir district of Adana. The theft was discovered by historian and author Cezmi Yurtsever, who noted the stone was missing during a recent visit to the site in the Camili neighborhood.
Yurtsever emphasized the historical significance of the cemetery, stating that the Oğuz Türkmen Üçok tribe settled in the Çukurova region around 1240 following the conquest by the Yüreğir Ramazanoğulları.
