If there was a genre such as academic journalism, Kızılyürek’s book ‘Glafkos Clerides: The Course of a Country’ would certainly be considered a good example.
When I had met Niyazi Kızılyürek a few months ago in Brussels, the book had already been finished. And he was full with an enthusiasm of a journalist who had managed to get a 'scoop'. 'Yes, we visited him at his home by the sea, we talked for hours, for days; he told me things that he did not tell to anyone before. Yes, he is 87 and in a very sound mind. He is bitter with today’s turn of events in Cyprus. Of course, he is pessimistic after the failure of Annan plan. He is bitter, too. In order to assess Clerides you have to check his early years, his background, his upbringing, his studies in England. The book will come out in Greek but you should read it in Turkish. How is your Turkish?'"
