President of the Journalists Association of Turkey (TGC) Turgay OlcaytoHe attended the ongoing TÜYAP International Istanbul Book Fair yesterday (7 December) and sent his books.
The authors of different publishing houses continue to meet with readers every day at the Istanbul Book Fair, which will remain open until Sunday, December 11th.
“Really Which Side Were You On?, Enemies of the Sun, Sad Geraniums, Being the Colors of Life and Chorus of Know-it-alls” TGC President Olcayto, the owner of five books, also attended the fair and signed the books of book lovers.
Turgay Olcayto, who came together with his readers at the Dilkitap Publishing booth, pointed out that the interest in the fair is very important and said that he experienced it:
“In a world that becomes more digital every day, the interest of especially young people in book fairs in my country has been a source of hope for me. We need to tell young people how valuable it is to read from a paper, a text book, or to browse a newspaper every morning. For this, book fairs are a great opportunity. We overcome our unhappiness in our daily life, which is limited by censorship and self-censorship, and our difficulty in accessing fine arts with books. Coming out of a climate of fear in it, journalists should transform a country more effectively in terms of news writing and book reading.”
