Exile

The attack has alarmed other Turkish journalists in exile who urge the German government to take a stance against “Erdogan’s arm”

The Athens Center has invited author Miriam Frank to discuss her latest book, "The Experience of Exile in Ancient Times and Today," on Wednesday, September 27. The open discussion will focus on the condition of exile to demonstrate how it is guided by historical events and does not distinguish between peoples. The event, which starts at 7 p.m., is admission-free.

The Ottoman administration exiled writer and poet Namık Kemal. The sultan who had sent him into exile remained "one of the other sultans." Namık Kemal, on the other hand, became the "poet of the country" and "the poet of freedom."
