Nazê was born in Iraq. She lived in Iraq, Iran and Turkey. When we say "she lived" we mean about a life time of 105 years, still counting as of November 2004. Her grandson İrfan Aktan talked with her for some hours everyday then he translated for us what she had told him. Because Nâzê couldn't speak Turkish. The work was a bit like groping for something in the dark, where you trust your instinct rather than your senses. | Kıvanç, Ümit Born in 1956, in Istanbul.
He studied communication and press. He worked for daily newspapers (Milliyet, Cumhuriyet, Radikal) and the weekly YeniGündem as an editor, a reporter and a photographer.
