"Turkish
Cave Research Association" has been established on
April 1964. Activities has been carried under basic principles
and aims such as general research, classification, scientific
studies and touristic visits. Between the years 1964 - 1980
while representation of Turkey has been made at the international
speleology platforms, also research activities has been
undertaken with the French, Italian and English. In the
meantime, as the Association we have participated in the
activities carried at Cennet, Cehennem, Insuyu, Narlikuyu,
