N: I know your story. But nobody knows about your story. Would you like to talk about it?

Y: Actually, it's all about our being Turkish... My mother and father, like many Turkish families, migrated abroad for economic reasons in the 70's as workers. I am the first-born generation from the Turks going abroad. I was born in 1972 in Austria. After I was born, my parents sent me to Turkey. I grew up here in Istanbul. Naturally, I got to know my mother and father much later. It was the biggest pain of my generation.
