São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Hocalar is a town in Afyonkarahisar Province in western Turkey, located in the western part of the Anatolian Plateau, about 60 kilometers from the provincial capital.

With a population of about 15,000, Khojalal's inhabitants are mostly Turks, preserving a traditional rural lifestyle, and the town has some architectural monuments from the Ottoman period that show the local historical heritage. Despite its small size, it plays an important role in the regional economy as an agricultural center for the surrounding area.
