Yes, Barış Manço is a Dervish Artist who has not been recognized or defined by his true essence…

Naturally, this statement does not mean that we knew or defined him. No. We merely wrote what we saw through our own perspective…

As is the case with every issue, while it is assumed that events move further away as time flows, in reality, they draw closer…

For, relative to the time the events took place, there are certain considerations; as an event becomes history, both the material increases and these considerations cease to be able to overshadow the subject.

When we look back from the period we are in, we observe past events as having ‘matured,’ which makes it easier for us to interpret a consolidated issue more comprehensively and in a way ‘close to the line of perfection.’

If an analysis were conducted by keeping the sociology of the times in mind, would a Barış Manço emerge who corresponds to the equivalent of Joan of Arc, who shook France to its core from a militaristic and mystical perspective?..
