“I was in the hospital while there were the rumors circulating that the station was going to be shut down and that the police were about to arrive. On one side there was the closing down of the channel, on the other there was the death of my mother-in-law... One after another. Afterwards, I did not even have the strength to look for a job. As a matter of fact, I did not have the hope to find one. All the places I could have worked for were shut down. Then I had to go back to my hometown of Bandırma.
"Televizyon kapatılacak, polis geldi gelecek haberleri arasında hastanedeydim. Bir taraftan kanalın kapatılışı diğer yandan kayınvalidemin ölümü… Hepsi üst üste geldi. Sonrasında iş aramaya bile mecalim kalmadı. Zaten iş bulma umudum da yoktu. Çalışabileceğim her yer kapatıldı. Bunun üzerine memleketim Bandırma’ya dönmek zorunda kaldım.
