You are simply matchless. Fragrance of purity and simplicity comes out every word you speak or wrote.

I really find my self engaged in this conversation, we are all traumatized, deeply injured and we are lost in a very mysterious world where there no one is ready to listen to you . Pain still inside and there is no power can erase that pain, actually it is an open ended story , it is a spiritual pain rather than physical where every thing is scattered .

I liked how he said, Elif is sincere and profound !

[@CrazyWatcher670]

After listening to her many speeches I have come to understanding that this one is smart, she plays beautifully from both sides of fences. No wonder her own people hate her.

[@zingardoh1]

In Turkey, she is unliked and even despised. There are so many reasons for this. But she is clever. She knows how to get through.

[@origashi3827]

Why is that?

[@zingardoh1]

@@origashi3827 Her political stance. She was supporting Erdoğan. She oversaw the terrible steps of the islamists because her husband was also in a political islam movement that was led by Fetullah Gülen. In general she is accepted as an utilitarian, sly and unsincere person.

@@origashi3827 I suppose it is because she's taken a clear stance in the Armenian case and the Kurdish issue. The Turks are very tribal as a society and they do not like being confronted with uneasy historical issues or open criticism. They react with tribal atavism of protection and they immediately rush to defend their name, nationality and country. And it doesn't really matter which political party or ideology they identify themselves with. The same happened to Nobel Prize Winner Orhan Pamuk, who was accused of being a traitor of Turkey because of the books he wrote and an interview he gave! It looks like facing the truth is something that the Turkish society finds very difficult to do.

aydin, it is not a duty of a writer to satisfy their countrymen. duty is making arts with words which can have profound values. anyway, can u suggest some good writeups which can convey better your point?

[@inja2008]

You are amazing by acknowledging Rumi’s birth place.

[@geoffreynhill2833]

She's stunning. (Green Fire UK)

[@ashokddani]

She is pluralistic and mentions Abrahamoc.reigions but not Budhism or Advaita Dharma.

[@CrazyWatcher670]

[@Anushka275]

I got so angry at the interviewer when he said that Rumi was turkish
