My family lives in Karacaøren village together with the alevi people. They call me aunt Olga. I was born here. I am a german Volga region emigrant. I have good neighbours. We respect each other, help each other, and live in harmony with each other. I am a protestant. They are muslims. The mosque in this village has no minaret.
