We returned to Ankara last night. The bayram holiday went well, it was a holiday as well as a change of scenery for us. Mansur spoke with us, he said he was well, and that sentry duty at night was cold. Thank you for the greetings from your family. We congratulate you on Christmas, and hope it goes well for you. Take care of yourself.

 I have translated various children´s books for Filiz Yayýncýlýk .... and am open to offers from other publishers!

You are welcome!

Turkey´s aim, as set out by Atatürk, is to reach the level of a modern civilisation. Turkey must be integrated with all civilisations. Wisdom and science will destroy the ignorance, chaos and negatives seen in society.

The civilisations of the world have been Incas, Aztecs, Atlantis, the Assyrians, Chinese, Egyptians and Muslims; the centre of civilisation in the last two centuries has been Europe, and in our day is America.

The centre of civilisation may change once more in future centuries. Maybe it will be America on its own, maybe alongside this China, Japan, Russia, India. We do not know.

Great!

 I love you a lot (emphasized).

I am really bad (could mean ill or like he has got the love bug badly)

Whatever happens I am definitely going to wait.

If I can´t go I will get a one month fine, really, it is certain.

I have no one but you.

My mum is not OK either.

I have a really great need.

Umarým ki hepsini samimi olarak söylüyorsun.
