He was in prison for a year, accused of belonging to the terrorist organization PKK - even though he was only active as a musician. After his imprisonment, he found asylum in Greece and has been traveling around Europe ever since, trying to support himself with his musical talents. Aydın will play music at the service on October 27th, 2024 in Rotmonten, 10:30 a.m., also with me. We had our rehearsal today, which I filmed and then edited and published the recordings. I try to relate the music to the church in Pergamon - I preach about the Epistle to Pergamon (Acts 2:12-17)
