How safe is Gaziantep?

Gaziantep is a city that contains both heaven and hell. But I must point out that hell outweighs. If you are thinking of exploring Gaziantep with a local friend, I would suggest it because it is a very old city, it has a lot of culture, nice museums and very much delicious traditional dishes but I don't think it's safe for solo travelling. Unfortunately we may encounter verbal abuse in the late hours (not too late, after like 11 pm.) Although not often, you may encounter extortion. I've been living here for about 18 years, so I've become immune to Gaziantep. If you visit Gaziantep, you can use tram for transportation. There will be no problem because there are security guards at all tram stops. And maybe use apps like "Getir" to take taxi because it will let you know approximately how much it will cost to go ...there from ...somewhere.
