Semiramis Metin shares 98 years of Kilis history and memories

Semiramis Metin, a 98-year-old resident of Kilis, has shared her life memories, serving as a living witness to the history of the city. Recognized as one of Kilis’s first female civil servants, Metin reflected on her career during an era when women were less represented in the workforce.
