Newspaper Wall: Yılmaz Güney- Farah Zeynep Abdullah
DUVAR - Yılmaz Güney's family responded to the words of actress Farah Zeynep Abdullah, "He is the man of our cinema who beats women."
To the news in Birgün newspaper. According to, Lawyer Bişar Abdi Altınak, who made a written statement on behalf of Güney Family, said, "Yılmaz Güney, in his own words, stated that he 'found himself inadequate in his attitude towards women's rights and that he was trying to develop and change', and tried to transform everyone who turned their face to him in this title, again to himself." "He is an artist who moved away from 'feudal and reactionary codes' and tirelessly encouraged self-criticism and progress," he said. "To denigrate an artist who made sincere efforts to end the spiral of violence in society, who criticized himself on these topics, who became a symbol of the hope for the transformation and change of society, to humiliate his memory and to violate the personal rights of his family is, to put it mildly, excessive," he said:
"Today in Turkey; The memory of the law enforcement, the government, those they protect, and the new era artists who could not raise their voices against the policies of impunity, systematic attacks on women, Kurds, workers, revolutionary forces, LGBTI+ people, targeted Yılmaz Güney, who evoked peace and hope for millions, and winked at the millions who were subjected to manipulation. We see it as an insincere delusion to receive applause. We see the situation of being clueless, where historical unconsciousness is surrounded by evil, and we present the point where opportunism has reached on behalf of those who have a say, to the public's discretion.
We evaluate the statement of actress Farah Zeynep Abdullah at this level, and states that we understand and see that violence and evil cannot speak out to the real owners, Yılmaz We reiterate that we will be against any understanding that sees Güney as a symbol of violence."
'WE WILL PROTECT YILMAZ GÜNEY'S MEMORY AND PERSONAL RIGHTS'
Alınak finally He said:
"We share the hope for a future in which no person in this country is subjected to the slightest injustice or violent behavior, and we would like to emphasize that Yılmaz Güney's will to change, transformation and tireless struggle is a value that nourishes this hope. We respectfully present to the public that we will continue to ensure the preservation of the spiritual memory of Yılmaz Güney and the personal rights of his family and relatives by using all our legal rights for every individual involved in the smear campaign, especially the actress Farah Zeynep Abdullah, who did not take our sincere warnings into consideration."
