{"text":"At the ceremony held for Yeşilçam's master actor Kadir İnanır at the Harbiye Muhsin Ertuğrul Stage, his life partner Jülide Kural gave a speech. Making both herself and the entire hall cry during her speech, Kural said, 'This is the greatest testament to your homeland while in this world. "We, the people, will surely establish that great peace," he says with the world's most beautiful smile. This testament is our responsibility. One day, for sure, my love. Surely...'" }
A memorial ceremony is being held at the Harbiye Muhsin Ertuğrul Stage for the 'Kadir Abi' of Turkish cinema, who passed away at the age of 77. Kadir İnanır's family, relatives, fans, and many names from the cinema and political world attended the ceremony. During the ceremony, the master actor's life partner of 27 years, Jülide Kural, made a brief speech in tears.
"MY ONLY FEELING RIGHT NOW IS TO STAY SILENT"
Kadir İnanır's life partner Jülide Kural used the following expressions in her speech:
"Actually, if you look at it, my only feeling right now is to stay silent. But Kadir's desire to shout out is so great that I don't think my heart can bear it. That's why, even if briefly, I will try to share some things with you.
In fact, you all know Kadir İnanır. His overflowing anger against injustice, his need for no words when expressing his love, his conscience that rises against poverty, injustice, inequality...
"KADİR İNANIR IS GREEK, TURKISH, ARMENIAN, AND OF COURSE KURDISH"
You all know his humanity. Perhaps the greatest excitement of his life was cinema, and while performing his own acting, I witnessed something: his heart, his intuition, his curiosity, and his courage to look at life with a smile were always his go-to places. I have always watched him in these processes. That was a great privilege for me. On the other hand, you know that Kadir İnanır is an unforgettable figure for his audience, with just one glance that lasts for years.
And he is everyone's brother, son, lover, uncle, father, and actually he is the people. He is Anatolia and a friend to all peoples. That's why he is Greek, Turkish, Armenian, Circassian, Bosnian, Turkish, Arab, and of course Kurdish.
"YOUR WILL IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY, MY LOVE, ONE DAY SURELY"
It is his greatest will to his homeland, whether in this world or when leaving. 'We, the peoples, will surely establish that great peace,' he says with the world's most beautiful smile. Your will is our responsibility. One day, surely, my love. Surely..."
