Candidate for Two More Records<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Metropolitan Municipality has applied for two more records regarding the “Mosaic of Coexistence”. It was nominated for the Guinness Book of Records in the categories of \u201cmosaic made with the highest number of stones\u201d in terms of the number of stones used on the base of the mosaic and \u201cthe largest oval mosaic\u201d in terms of the size of the oval shape of the work.<\/p>\n

\u0130hsan \u00c7akar, Secretary General of EXPO 2021 Hatay, expressed his belief that he will break records in both categories. Stating that the original design of the mosaic was brought to life by masters and artists from Hatay, \u00c7akar states that while creating this work, the record goal was not pursued, but the record was approved by the relevant referees after the applications.<\/p>\n
