WHAT DID THEY WRITE ABOUT HIM?



Memet Fuat (b.1926)

"Nâzım Hikmet is a supra-national value which Turkish culture has awarded to all humanity. Just as much as the English poet Shakespeare is of England, or the Spanish poet Lorca is of Spain, so the Turkish poet Nâzım Hikmet is of Turkey, not more." (From a speech made in January 1989)
