A former butcher dedicated his life to resolving "honor killings" and ending family vendettas appeared in a BBC radio program.
The British Broadcasting Corporation on Saturday broadcasted the story of Sait, who is also known as "peace-maker" in the region. Sait stated in the program that in eastern Turkey family honor is all-important and people are killed because of it. "Sait is actually a butcher by trade, but he handed his shops over to his sons six years ago to devote himself full-time to peace," introduced BBC reporter Sarah Rainsford Sait in the program. "Since then he says he has resolved more than 400 feuds.""
