Merkel visits National Park, Dark Church in Cappadocia.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel Monday started touring Cappadocia, a famous town in central Turkey with its chimney rocks, underground cities and churches carved into rocks.
Merkel left her hotel early in the morning and toured Goreme National Park where she was welcomed with a hot air balloon carrying a banner that reads, “Welcome to Turkey” and threw roses at Merkel’s car.
Turkish Culture and Tourism Minister Omer Celik and Governor of Nevsehir Abdurrahman Savas are accompanying Merkel during her visit.
Merkel also visited the Dark Church and examined the frescos of Jesus. “I really liked here, I’ve always wanted to come. Cappadocia is a great place,” said ensorcelled Chancellor.
