I KNEW HIM WELL, HE WAS A GREAT PERSON. A REAL CITIZEN OF THE WORLD WHO NEVER FORSAKE HIS ROOTS AS A TURK. HE NEVER ACCEPTED THE OFFERS OF CITIZENSHIP OF MANY COUNTRIES AND OREFERRED TO TRAVEL ON A U.N. PASSPORT FOR DISPLACED PERSON, UNTIL HE GOT BACK HIS TURKISH CITIZENSHIP AND PASSPORT.
GREAT LOVER OF THE ARTS, A HUMANIST, REPUBLICAN, ATATURKIST, PATRIOT, BON VIVANT, RACONTEUR. WHAT A GUY !!!
IT WAS MY PRIVILEGE TO KNOW HIM AND TO HAVE SHARED PRECIOUS MOENTS TOGETHER.
HIS MEMORY WILL BE WITH ME FOREVER.
MAY HE REST IN PEACE.
GOOD BY, MY DEAR AND GREAT FRIEND,
