The man who wrote these words.

Toy was born in Manisa, Turkey, and started work after graduating from secondary school. After working as a baker, banker, creator of the mutual organization of sponge fishermen paralysed after decompression problems, he moved to Istanbul. He became a unionist by creating the Bank-İş union. Erol Toy who published his writings in several papers published his first novel in 1952 in the Çınar magazine. As a writer directing the YAZKO council, he wrote on the social, economical and political problems of Turkey. Erol Toy who used social realism, was known to the audience after the first publication of his İmparator (the imperor) novel in 1974. This novel is said to tell the life of Turkish billionaire Vehbi Koç, founder of the Koç group, (this novel was sold to 1.5 million since its publication, according to his publisher). Erol Toy who published short stories, novels, essays and critiques and several plays of which have been acted, received third place at the Ali Naci Karacan prize in 1962. None of his creations was translated yet.

In May and June 2011, his play Pir Sultan Abdal, toured in Germany and in France by Ankara Birlik Tiyatrosu.

Surrounded, This song sounds as good as the day it was release back in 1987. Do not misunderstand the word released, listening to this song or ho;ding the album would be a prisonable offence in Turkey. Welcome to al lmy friend who think Turkey is like this since Erdogan. The victims are thsame it is the opressors that have changed.

I have seen this group in Lodon many times. They sounded the same recorded or live.
