Time in Friendly Faces
“Alas, my brother Necdet Bulut, alas, my revolutionary, socialist friend, alas, my brave, virtuous, smiling comrade! Rest in peace, Necdet! One day, the fathers of fascist killers will drown in the blood that has been shed, sooner or later, but one day for sure…
And, oh, readers! Beloved readers who read Abdi İpekçi every day! Do not leave him alone, this civilized writer of Turkish press, this most competent manager of Turkish press, on his final journey. Unite your tears with ours…
The deaths of well-known, befriended, and companionable individuals, effects one in a different way. Prosecutor Doğan Öz, just like Dr. Bulut, was my close friend… These two deaths fell on my heart like two burning fires; I am consumed, devastated.”
