Hasan Bayrak, Voices Publisher

My daughter Ruken has been a reporter for our newspaper for the past two years.

Thanks to Ruken, Voices brought you great news.

She introduced us to many places to visit in Turkey in the Explore column and introduced us to great books and movies in the Book and Film Review column.

Ruken’s talents added value to our newspaper, but she will not be with us this year.

She found a new job and we had to say goodbye to her.

We are sad to see Ruken go, but we are very happy for her as she will have a better job and life.

Ruken; I am glad you are my daughter and I am glad you worked with us at Voices.

We will miss your smiling face and mischievous jokes.

May you have a beautiful life.

We love you very much.
