         <description><![CDATA[<p>Mersin is a province of Turkey. It has 13 districts, four of which are central districts. Mersin is a port city located in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey. Mersin Port is among the largest ports in Turkey. Tourism, industry, agriculture and maritime are developed in the city.Districts in the center are Akdeniz, Mezitli, Yenişehir, Taurus; its other districts are Anamur, Aydıncık, Bozyazı, Silifke, Tarsus, Çamlıyayla, Erdemli, Gülnar and Mut. It has thirteen districts in total.It has a metropolitan municipality status. It is a port city located in the south of Turkey. Mersin Port is among the largest ports in Turkey.Many layers were unearthed during the excavations in the Yumuktepe mound in the north of the city. The oldest of these dates to 6300 BC, and the newest to the Seljuk period. The artifacts unearthed during the excavations are exhibited in Mersin Archeology Museum, Adana Archeology Museum and Tarsus Museum, Silifke Museum and Anamur Museum. In the Hellenistic period, the name of the city was Zephyrion. The name of Mezitli, which remains within the borders of the city today, was Soli. However, during the Arab raids, the city was emptied. Mersin's appearance on the stage of history coincides with the middle of the 19th century. The region, which was still a village in this period, hosted a nomadic Turkmen tribe and took its name from this tribe. In addition, the Greeks from the Cappadocia region had come to dominate the city population, and in 1850, 1,600 Muslims lived in the city compared to 5,250 Orthodox Greeks. The fate of the city changed, especially during the American Civil War, with the cotton production developing in Çukurova in order to eliminate the cotton shortage in the world and the connection of the region to the railway network in 1866. During this period, Mersin quickly became a port and trade center where Çukurova's agricultural products were exported. The importance of the Christian Levantines, even though they are a minority, is undeniable in the city's current state. There are still two Levantine cathedrals in the city: the Latin-Italian Cathedral and the Arab-Orthodox Cathedral. It is also on the agenda to build a church for the Greeks in the north of the city.</p><p>source: https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersin</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Our school began providing education in its new building during the second semester of the 2011–2012 academic year. With its 8,000-square-meter campus, it started serving as the largest primary school in Mersin, aiming to educate the individuals of the future in line with modern educational principles.</p><p>Our school was established on July 1, 1998, following the enactment of the 8-year compulsory primary education law, through the merger of <strong>Mersin Secondary School</strong> and <strong>Üç Ocak Primary School</strong>. The name <strong>Mersin Üç Ocak Primary School</strong> was formed by combining “Mersin” from Mersin Secondary School and “Üç Ocak” from Üç Ocak Primary School.</p><p>When located at its former site, our school consisted of four separate buildings:</p><ul><li><p><strong>The first building</strong> was the former Mersin Secondary School building, located across from the Mağazalar Police Station. It was constructed of stone in 1905 by the Capuchin priests as church residences. After Mersin’s liberation from the French occupation in 1922, the building was donated to the state treasury by the church on the condition that it be used as a school. In 1923, it began serving as <strong>Cumhuriyet Primary School</strong>, and in 1928, after the school moved to the old building at the site of today’s <strong>Borsa Palace</strong>, it was reopened as <strong>Mersin Secondary School</strong>. When <strong>Mersin High School</strong> (now <strong>Tevfik Sırrı Gür High School</strong>) opened in 1945, the school relocated. From 1945 to 1966, the building served as a <strong>Technical School</strong>, and in 1966, after the <strong>Industrial Vocational High School</strong> moved to its new building, it was reopened under the name <strong>Mersin Secondary School</strong> for the second time. Since 1998, it has continued to serve as <strong>Mersin Üç Ocak Primary School</strong>.</p></li><li><p><strong>The second building</strong> was located next to the main building and was constructed around the same period.</p></li><li><p><strong>The third building</strong> was the former <strong>5 Ocak Primary School</strong>, also built by the Capuchin priests. In 1923, it served as the <strong>Official Girls’ School</strong>; in 1934, it became the <strong>French Consulate</strong>; in 1941, it housed the <strong>Child Protection Agency</strong>; and in 1944, it was used as <strong>Yuva Primary School</strong>. In 1945, it was renamed <strong>5 Ocak Primary School</strong>, and in 1974, in honor of Mersin’s liberation day, January 3, its name was changed to <strong>3 Ocak Primary School</strong>.</p></li><li><p><strong>The fourth building</strong> was constructed in 1955 by the <strong>Red Crescent</strong> and the <strong>Society for the Protection of the Poor and Needy</strong> as a stone structure. It was used for many years by the <strong>Regional Forestry Directorate</strong>, later by the <strong>Agricultural Equipment Institution</strong> and the <strong>Veterinary Directorate</strong>. In 1972, it was leased to <strong>Mersin Secondary School</strong> and served as an annex until 1998.</p></li></ul><p>Currently, our school continues to provide education in a single building located next to the former bus terminal.</p>]]></description>
