It was about three centuries ago… That day was the beginning of a favorable development for Erzurum.

A man with an aga attitude was walking around with two eyes and two fountains… Those who knew:

-Mahmud Agha is no. Is there a problem?

-No, I don't have a brother. I'm devastated! That is all…

It was a really strange situation. The wealth of this person called "Mahmud Ağa", originally from Kayseri, was too numerous to count. A large land, two buildings with 74 shops, two inns with 45 rooms, in addition to mansions, gardens, other real estates… It was obvious that he was affected by something.

-Aha, it's written in that book. I guess my account will be tough…

While everyone was saying something and trying to put some water in his heart, the expression on Mahmut Ağa's face changed: his eyes were fixed on a point, like people on the eve of an important decision.

After a short while, the people of Erzurum started to talk about the foundation of Mahmud Ağa from Kayseri. The agha had established a foundation in which all of his assets flowed. The foundation had two mosques built in Erzurum. He decorated every corner with fountains. With the income of the foundation, such an infrastructure work was started in the city like a municipality that water canals were built in all the neighborhoods and villages of Erzurum, street by street. It was even calculated how and how much water would be delivered to the masjid, village square and public toilets. Mahmud Agha was relieved. He always used to say: “To relax, you need to relax…”
