Zafer acted as my guide and translator for a journalistic assignment that I was given to cover the aftermath of the earthquakes in Turkey in February 2023. He was the consumate professional in providing me with vital information about the areas we visited, plotting our route and also acted as a translator for interviews that we carried out with those affected by the tragedy. This was done while he was also coming to terms with what had occured, which showed great professionalism. After the final documentary that I worked on was released it was nominated for two prestigious awards - the British Sports Journalism and International Press Association - for audio documentary of the year. This wouldn't have been possible without the care and attention that Zafer showed. Thank you Zafer, you are a true gentleman.
