“After witnessing a prison riot being brutally crushed, I made up my
mind: I was staying. For two decades I have reported on issues of life
and death, all so close to the surface here. Turkey and its Middle
Eastern neighbours are marred by rebellion, wars, revolutions,
oppression and torture. People struggle for dignity. In an odd way,
all this makes me feel very much alive -- and provides substantial raw
material for my novels.”
