Gazanfer Özcan´s death is a great loss for turkish theatre. I think many expats/foreigners on the site know him well for his role as Tahsin Sütçüoðlu in Avrupa Yakasý.

There´s an article about it here: http://www.haberler.com/gazanfer-ozcan-perdeyi-kapatti-haberi/ among others, for those of you who speak turkish. Maybe someone would be kind enough to translate it as I´m pressed for time.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji´ûn - may he rest in peace.

I´m sorry for him  He was an important person for theatre. and i liked how he played in Avrupa Yakasý.

May he rest in peace.

His death is a great loss for the turkish people.
