Koca Bir Sevdaydı Yaşadığımız

I love my friends, my old comrades, my own generation and the generation after them, without lies or hypocrisy. Because we are the children of Turkey's age of hope and innocence. Even though we failed to realize it; We are those who did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives, youth and love for the sake of a war-free, exploitation-free, just world and revolution. With our great mistakes and fatal misconceptions on the one hand, and our self-sacrifice, revolutionary belief and hope on the other, we are people of another age with a tragic fate. Even though we are on different sides today, we have a history that ties us together. We come from similar mistakes, the same defeats, the same revolutionary utopia, the same passion for victory...

If you want to know all this, you have to look at his memoirs."
