Rhodes Mayor Fotis Chatzidiakos and a committee which consists of Turkish and Greek litterateurs who have come to Izmir within “International Izmir Children and Youth Literature”  with main theme “Turkish-Greek Literature Means” hosted by Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, welcomed by Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Deputy Mayor Dr. Sırrı Aydoğan. Mayor Chatzidiakos stated “Prominent writers gathered and gave very important messages to children. Litterateurs built a bridge. I hope, this time will build an air bridge between Izmir and Rhodes.”
 
Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Deputy Mayor Dr. Sırrı Aydoğan realized Mevlana’s saying “the people who feel the same emotions can get along with, not  the ones who speak the same language”, stated that though they speak different languages, they feel the same emotions, “There is a very strong bridge between Rhodes and Izmir. Through literature meeting, we reinforce this bridge by engraining in our children at early ages.  The strongest bridges are built on culture and art. Bridges cannot be built unless people understand each other. The islands and Turkey both feel the same. We certainly get on with. 
 
At the end of the visit, Chatzidiakos gifted a book to Aydoğan which is related to Rhodes and requested a visit to their island. Aydoğan gifted the guest mayor a Ancient Clock Tower engraved plaquet as visit memory.
