Akman

Harrowing video footage shows 37-year-old Yılmaz Akman attacking his pregnant ex-wife, 19-year-old Sudenaz A. in front of their 3-year-old son.

A pregnant woman has been assaulted in broad daylight by her former partner in the western province of Manisa, while bystanders stood idly by, sparking nationwide outrage as many condemned the harrowing attack and the passivity of witnesses.

A local man in the northwestern province of Bursa exhibits nearly 1,000 items reflecting the Yorük-Türkmen tradition in his house, which he has turned into a museum.

Akman, who was also the chairman of the Bursa Ertuğrulgazi Osmangazi Yörük-Türkmen Association in the past, organized many events in order to pass on his culture to future generations.
