Dear readers, my latest article on Bekir appeared here on November 29, 2019 with the above title. I’ll shorten that article a bit and pass it on to you one more time.
About 11 months have passed and sadly Bekir passed away.
I wish him mercy from Allah and patience with his wife Andree and his relatives.
Here is that article:
★★★
Bekir Coskun my dear companion, dear friend, friend and brother …
Fate must have wanted it for us to be sitting next to each other in both Hürriyet and Sözcü.
So we’ve been neighbors to the wall for years!
We live and share many bitter and sweet events together with Bekir during these long years.
I read most of your writings with sweet jealousy, “Why didn’t I think about writing this?” I would regret it.
The sweet greetings between us would never stop …
We talk on the phone or meet in our rooms, our conversation always starts like this even today:
“Hey Corc, give him a loan! ..”
★★★
One day I was fired from Hürriyet …
I always had daily notes of my life there …
I sat down and wrote the book for this job:
We are fired, my people, do not forget us.
Aydın Doğan took me to court …
He asked for compensation of 50,000 Turkish liras, claiming that he lied to him and defamed him.
Bekir was one of those who knew that what I wrote was completely correct.
But would I give my testimony in court?
Work is another friendship! …
She “Come testify for me” I couldn’t because Bekir kept writing in Hürriyet. In other words, he would not have been able to testify against his boss.
And when he found out about the case, he came to see me:
Friend, show me a witness. I will tell him in court that everything he wrote is correct. “
★★★
Do this heart I would like
He witnessed, testified in court:
“Every event described in the book is true. I also experienced them with Emin … “
The court rejected the chief’s case.
★★★
My shot had exploded like a bomb in public opinion. Two days passed, Bekir’s “Prisoners of Rowing” the article titled.
“We were in a boat, the waves washed away my rowing partner. Emin Çölaşan is no longer there. What should I do, whether I hang on the paddles or stop rowing, tell my friends what to do … ” he was saying. (Hürriyet, August 16, 2007.)
It was a great article. After reading a column for the first time in my life, officially I cried. You may not believe it, but even as I write these lines, my eyes are watery …
★★★
This is Bekir from Urfa …
Mert is a man.
Then they fired him too!
★★★
My dear readers, you have not been able to read Bekir’s articles for a long time …
Most of you know why, but let me explain to those who don’t.
Bekir has been receiving treatment for a long time. There was no cure that he did not receive, there was no medicine that he did not drink.
Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, tomography, compresses and a lot of needles, serums, pills …
Naturally, his enjoyment was too much.
You now have severe pain. He’s very slow … His morale isn’t good either.
We stop by the newspaper from time to time, talk again, but it’s not in the writing stage yet.
I also “Take it easy, start writing again when you feel like it” I keep saying …
Apart from what I mentioned above, Bekir pain cutters taking many pills, including. Cortisone medications and also morphine patches for medications attached to the skin weakness and fatigue triggers.
★★★
My dear friend, who was tired of fighting this disease, could not overcome his weakness.
I think he will meet you again next week with the first of his writings to which he has given a break, but it will not be possible to write six days a week.
Regardless, even once or twice a week I hope to read it again like you do.
Bekir greets you.
Come on Urfa Corc, everyone is waiting for you.
★★★
November 29, 2019 … and October 18, 2020 …
This happened in about a year and we lost Bekir.
During this period, it was not possible to write regular articles in the newspaper.
He said, “My fingers don’t even have the power to touch the computer keys.”
His problems gradually increased and we reached the evening of October 18 …
And the expected end has come …
What happened.
