I have been a leading Turkish Cypriot human rights activist, a leading member of the Turkish/Kurdish and Cypriot community organisations and a Community Builder. I have involved establishing and running more than 8 community organisations including Turkish Community Football Federation, Turkish Cypriot Community association, Hackney Cypriot association, Halkevi-Kurdish and Turkish Community Centre, Alevi Cultural Centre and Cemevi, London Disabled People Association, Turkish Cypriot Artist Platform, Turkish Community Radio. I have published 33 books and recently I am researching the Cyprus Pass and Present History which will be 7 volumes. £ volumes already published between 2014 and 2017. Volume IV and V ready to be published. 11 of my published books are my free-style Turkish/English poetry. Apart my voluntary community work I work with Hackney, Islington, Haringey, Enfield and Waltham Forest Local authorities. In short, I worked in both side of the fence!
