PART 15

His entering Turkey secretly and arriving to Istanbul after a dangerous journey immediately after the revolution carried out under Humeyni's leadership, escaping from the blood, fire and death full atmosphere of Iran... His meeting with his fugitive friends who arrived to this crowded city before him and the six months he passed with everyday fear of being caught by the Turkish police in the temporary hotel room they have arranged... His boarding on a Lufthanza plane about to fly to New York after crossing the Istanbul Ataturk Airport's meticulous control barrier... The distressed days he passed in the little room in the refugee building he was placed at by telling the authorities in New York Airport that he came to America to seek refuge... The acceptance of his refuge request after long investigations... His night and day struggle to learn English in his little apartment he rented in one of New York's ghettos... The efforts he made to get used to a foreign city, it's complex people and life... Then the receiving American citizenship, his period of being a student and a teaching membership at Yale... And at last Kyrgyzstan...

I'll try too:

Maybe you miss one day

Maybe you miss one day
with other people
walking in other cities

the first novel you've read
the first person you've loved
because of legitimate pains
even because of loneliness
your eyes maybe become tearful
from other people
in other cities
you conceal

maybe you miss one day...

erase the lonelinesses from your eyes
at that moment whisper my name to the walls
a thousand knives on my back
with thousand (?)
everyone admires you

this life you've chosen
the last person you've passed
from legitimate pains
even from loneliness
you choose silent letters
from other people
in other cities
you conceal

I'm translating cemal's post with his permission, so that people can relate:

"I wish to express here a subject, by stressing it's importance.
There are many high quality novelists and poets like Yusuf Atılgan, Kaan Arslanoğlu, Attila İlhan, Reşat Nuri Güntekin, Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar,Edip Cansever, Turgut Uyar, Cahit Külebi in Turkey. Because the works of these novelists and poets, who are in a world literature affecting capability caliber, aren't translated to English, these important artists can't enter the agenda of world literature.
I wanted to draw attention to this subject.
Whose duty should be to translate those works?"

PART 14
When saying:
- Thank you my dear Fatih!" a mild trembling in his voice caught my attention. While I was waiting for him to continue talking, he wrapped himself up in silence again. It was as if he was in a state of hesitation whether to open up to me or not. I felt that if I insisted he'd retreat and withdraw inside so I waited…
I waited and thought about my friend's life adventure, that I heard from his own mouth, who was standing in front of me and whose hair and beard turned grey, rather handsome but not aware of it - I confess that seeing the inviting glances of lots of female lecturers and administrative personnel, even some of the female students in the university towards him made my jealousy appear- who looked as if he came to this place from another world. So many events had he succeeded to squeeze into a short life.

I'm not sure how the last word connects but I think:
Be as silent as a shadow so that I would love

you're right, it's not an easy question to answer but maybe it must be at least encouraged by the government and done by professionals...

I guess he's frustrated that no one has helped him yet.
Sorry I couldn't help yabanci86, I don't understand the usage of "towards" in the sentence, can you write what's the subject of the text you're working on? What is it about? Maybe it would be clearer.
