Neverending Journey - Oğuzhan Müftüoğlu Book

Oguzhan Müftüoğlu was born in Anamur in 1944. He joined the Dev-Genç movement in the 60s, when he was a student at Ankara University Faculty of Law. Before Kızıldere, he fought in the ranks of THKP-C together with Mahir Çayan and his friends. He was tried and sentenced for the Dev-Genç and THKP-C cases. He was released with an amnesty in 1974. In the 70s, he played a primary role in the establishment of the Revolutionary Youth movement and then the Devrimci Yol movement. He was tried as the number 1 defendant in the Devrimci Yol main case, which was opened after September 12. He was released in 1991 after 11 years of prison life. He took part in the establishment of the Foundation for Social Research, Culture and Art, the Freedom and Solidarity Party and the BirGün newspaper.
Adnan Bostancioglu talked about his life with Oguzhan Müftüoğlu, starting from his childhood until today, in the interviews that started in 2008 and lasted for about three years with various intervals. Müftüoğlu's life is also the history of the rise and defeat periods of the revolutionary movement in Turkey... Therefore, the axis of the interview was the struggle process extending from Dev-Genç of the 60s to Devrimci Yol of the 70s and the aftermath of September 12. Events that left their mark on the period, people who stood out or remained in the shadows; Tortures, trials and prisons, which are an integral part of the history of the left, became the milestones of the Neverending Journey.
"The period we live in is a period extending from the 1960s to the 2000s. 40-odd years. What I experienced during this period, what I witnessed, and the events for which I was primarily responsible are not only my own. This period is a period that affects both the country and the revolutionary struggle." (...) I do not think of writing a memoir for myself, but I also accept that it is necessary to put the things I experienced or witnessed into writing in some way. I think that perhaps we can meet this need to some extent with such an interview. (Oguzhan Müftüoğlu)
