We're so happy to be back in our homeland. We work there for a year and then spend a month here to fulfill our longing. Now I'll be visiting my mother first.

First, we'll go home to Yalova, where we'll open the door. We'll get some rest and visit our family and friends. First, we'll visit relatives in Muş and then we'll go to the beach."
