In Beytüşşebap district of Şırnak province, the marriage of 
Hülya and Emrah Gökçe, members of the Jirki Tribe, was 
attended by a large crowd and the festivities lasted for

and cash bestowed on the couple by the guests. (!)

The attendees at the wedding who came from Şırnak, Mardin,
Hakkari, Van and Diyarbakır were entertained by Gazi Yıldırım as
they formed long lines to dance "halay", recorded from above

cash, while bride Hülya hanım had 1.5 kilograms of gold
pinned on her wedding dress.
