In tracing the roots of Adana's Armenian community, this book reveals the multicultural heritage of the city. Located in the heart of the rich Çukurova valley which extends between the Taurus Mountains and Mediterranean, it can only be understood in the context of the multicultural heritage.

The content of this book is comprised of the results of research conducted about Adana by Hrant Dink Foundation. We hope that the information presented here interests not only researchers and history enthusiasts, but anyone who wants to learn more about Adana. 

In presenting our findings, we also mention the challenges we had and the impressions we gained during the research process of the cultural heritage faced by the threat of being forgotten. By this we aim to contribute the methodological discussions used in researching similar topics.
