7 Reasons Why Aziz Nesin is Türkiye’s Greatest Satirist

Aziz Nesin’s journey as a writer and satirist was far from easy. His candid critiques of political and social systems often put him at odds with the authorities. He faced multiple imprisonments, book bans, and even attempts on his life. However, these challenges only strengthened his resolve to speak the truth through his writing. One of the most notable incidents was his involvement in the Sivas Massacre of 1993, where he narrowly survived an arson attack by extremists while attending a cultural festival.
