DENİZLİ - Businessman Esat Sivri was given a symbolic key to the ancient town of Laodicea by the Pamukkale University.

"Credit to Sivri, as he is a pioneer in social issues in Denizli," said Erkmen, underlining that Laodicea is extremely important for the city. "Sivri paid a lot of efforts while the history at Laodicea is unearthed."
