EMOTIONAL SONG FROM MURAT BOZ

Famous singer Murat Boz, moved by the events, shared a portion of the lament-style song titled "Gülistan," for which he wrote both the lyrics and music. The arrangement of the piece was undertaken by Mustafa Ceceli.

LYRICS TOUCH THE HEART

The lyrics of the lament carry a depth that touches the hearts of listeners.

The song begins with the lines, "One morning the city shrank, its name unspoken. A dream remained on the street, unfound by anyone. Your name still feels cold when spoken, your voice never comes, Gülistan," evoking the void left by Gülistan, who will forever remain 21 years old.

PROCEEDS TO BE DONATED TO CHILDREN

It was announced that all royalty income from the song, prepared by the famous singer known for his sensitivity, will be donated to the Koruncuk Foundation.

This meaningful gesture has garnered widespread support on social media.

In a previous post, Murat Boz had stated, "For a while now, your name has been not the name of a loss, but of a waiting. A mother's and father's prayer renewed every day, a home's never-extinguished light, a subtle ache carried within a nation."

"We may not have known you, but a part of us knows you."

"From everything left incomplete, from every dream left unfinished."

"My wish: that the truth arrives without delay, that a mother's heart be soothed one day, and that no young woman"

"be left in such darkness again."

"Gülistan Doku…"

"We have not forgotten."

"We will not forget." he said.
