�In the olden days in Germany, the apartments where Turks lived could be recognized by the clothes hanging out to dry on the balconies,� said Alanya Mayor Hasan Sipahioglu.
He cited this example as a way of illustrating the contributions Germans have made to Alanya. He then talked about the balconies of the Germans.
�You can tell where foreigners in Alanya live by the way their balconies look. Flowers, instead of drying clothes, appear on their balconies. When their neighbors try to imitate them, the apartments look much nicer,� he says. "
