Haluk Levent Sings for Gülistan Doku: 'Where is My Youth?'

In a powerful display of solidarity, renowned Turkish musician Haluk Levent dedicated a performance to Gülistan Doku, a young woman who has been missing since January 2020 and is suspected to have been murdered. Levent's concert, held as part of the 'Mameki Fest Gençlik' event in Tunceli, became a platform for raising awareness and demanding justice for Doku.

As Levent performed on stage, he unfurled a poster bearing Doku's image, a poignant reminder of her ongoing disappearance and the community's demand for answers. He then sang a song, "Hani Benim Gençliğim Nerede" (Where is My Youth?), originally by Ahmet Kaya, with lyrics by Yusuf Hayaloğlu, dedicating it to Doku and her grieving family. The emotional performance resonated deeply with the audience, who joined in chanting Doku's name, amplifying the call for justice.

Levent addressed the crowd, emphasizing the nation's collective concern for Gülistan and reaffirming support for her mother. He specifically thanked the prosecutor's office, signaling an expectation for thorough investigation and action. This act of support from a prominent artist like Levent not only brings attention to Doku's case but also provides a sense of comfort and solidarity to her family, who have been tirelessly seeking answers and justice for their daughter.

We are all concerned about our daughter Gülistan as a whole country. We are with her grieving mother. I especially thank our prosecutor's office very much.
