I shared Turkish tea and a conversation with Ozgul Andican for the public Turkish TV culture hour.
My appearance on Voice of America, 90 years after my great grandfather, Cemil Bilsel "appeared" or spoke on it. He was an expert and author of international law practice. I am an expert in Turkish hand gestures. Super fun experience and a wonderful host, Yenal Kucuker. How does it get better than that?
