Nur and İsmet

Summary

In her first year after university graduation, working as a fixer in the Kurdish-majority city of Diyarbakır, Nur more or less followed the formula of her first fixing adventure with Alison. She would introduce visiting reporters and academics to her friends, to Kurdish Movement activists and intellectuals and cultural revivalists, to people she wanted to talk with herself. Her clients were also interested in talking to these people but considered her more of an activist than a professional fixer. She would often end up surprised and disappointed to find articles that reporters had published without showing her a draft or sending her a link, articles that went against her guidance and understanding of an issue.
