Dear friends,
Today Mustafa and Yüksel called during the day. Mustafa to agree to meet tomorrow at 11h to go to the printing house. I think Yüksel called to see if I was ok. We couldn't talk much because of the language but now he can say some words in English.
At 18h Handan called and we agreed that she would pass by the house. A while later Olcaytug called announcing he was about to come. In the meantime, Peter prepared pancakes for Handan and the others who were about to come.
Handan arrived at 18:30, very happy because she was feeling better today. We made her a cheese pancake which she liked a lot and spoke English so she could practice. Peter told her everything about yesterday's meeting and she will participate in the next one, next Monday.
Bülent arrived, he didn't want any pancakes. Bülent made a very good chai and we continued talking. The issue was today's freeing from prison of those responsible for burning many Alevi in a hotel where they were gathered 20 years ago. It is a very sensitive issue for them. It seems there were protests in Kizilay attended by 5,000 people. So they spoke about this for some time and in the meantime Haci, a friend of Bülent's arrived. A while later, Olcaytug also comes. We informed again Olcaytug about yesterday's meeting and he said he had friends in Izmir and Antalya and that he wants to participate in the Western tour. He is also willing to help in the Ankara book fair and will come to Monday's meeting.
Bülent, Handan and Olcaytug also confirmed their participation to the Saturday seminar, about deep, internal change. In the meantime, Huseyin calls and tells us he is with Yüksel and that everything is very well. He announced his arrival in Ankara next Thursday and confirms he will stay for the seminar. Handan also talked to Huseyin for a while and the others greeted him out loud Meraba, Meraba.
At 20:30 everyone left, Handan and Bülent will invite friends to the weekly meeting tomorrow. Mehtap and Zehra said the same yesterday, so, hopefully the house will be full of friends tomorrow.
This is it for now. There was rain and the day was very grey. Spring is not announcing itself here.
Un fuerte abrazo para todos,
Peter
