From Turkey
Speaks English and Turkish, understands German, Italian and Spanish (a little)
Responsibility Journalist

I was born in Ankara, the Capital, in 1971, and currently living in the Asian part of Istanbul since 1989, happily married since 2007 with no child. We have a cat, her name is Pamuk (meaning Cotton) and she is 9 years old.

I was trained as a bachelor of Business Administration in University of Istanbul. I have worked as a banker from 1997 till 2010 and currently working full time as a Logistics Supervisor in a construction company since 2013.

My interest in Eurovision began as a little child inspired by my late dad. When I was a child, in Turkey, generally, Eurovision Song Contest was considered as a national holiday and was extremely popular. This is the source of my love and interest towards Eurovision. I am a member of OGAE Turkey where still we have lots of fun together.

I am also politically active as a member of the main opposition party “CHP” which was founded by Mustafa Kemal ATATURK our first President from who we take the words “PEACE AT HOME PEACE IN THE WORLD” as our life philosophy. It is in my nature to speak out what I defend courageously because I am not ashamed of who I am, how I live and what I think. If I see and think something is going wrong, I can’t help but interfere.
