A memorial ceremony was held today at the Harbiye Muhsin Ertuğrul Stage for Göktay. His family, relatives, artist friends, many names from the world of culture and art, and his admirers attended the ceremony. Emotional moments were experienced in the hall as a vigil was held at the head of Göktay's coffin, which was draped in the Turkish flag. "In this letter, you will already see his philosophy of life, his love for his art, and his devotion to his family." Speaking at the ceremony, Zihni Göktay's daughter, Zeynep Göktay, read the letter her father wrote to her, saying, "Since I cannot speak as beautifully as my father, I will read the letter he wrote to me when I took my first steps in this profession. In this letter, you will already see his philosophy of life, his love for his art, and his devotion to his family. And you will hear it from his own mouth. The letter is here, but I have transcribed it again; please forgive me if I have made any mistakes. 'Forty years ago, my father supported me in taking my first step in this beautiful art, which I have never regretted choosing despite its countless difficulties. If this is a relay race, I say to you, 'May your path be clear,' my beautiful daughter. But compete for the top. Always aim for the summit. Strive to be the best. Talent alone is not enough. You need honest morals, a sense of responsibility, and tireless, unwavering determination. Being a woman in Türkiye is very difficult. Being a working woman is even more difficult. Working Being a female theater actress is much harder. Being a married female theater actress is much, much harder. Being a theater actress, married, and a mother is much, much, much harder. I believe you will overcome all of this. Your respect for yourself and your audience is the foundation of your respect for the theater. These will take you to great heights. Nowadays, they say, 'Zeynep, the daughter of Zihni Göktay.' In the future, let them say, 'Zeynep Göktay's father.' In this country, unfortunately, people seem to have the freedom to choose their job, their spouse, and their livelihood on paper, but in real life, it's not like that. You chose the first one correctly, and I have no doubt you will choose the second one correctly as well. After all, if you choose those two correctly from the start, you also have the freedom to choose your livelihood. Zeynep, don't forget, even on the day your mother and I die, you have to go on stage. We can't bring our deaths to coincide with the summer holidays.' But you did. 'This is such an art. May beauty, luck, success, health, and happiness help you in your future and on the path you will follow. May it be a carpet for your path so that your feet do not tread this thorny road.' "May he not be hurt. Goodbye. Dad said, 'I can't say anything else.'" "Zihni Göktay was a great artist" Cinema and theater actor Hikmet Körmükçü said that Zihni Göktay was a great artist, adding, "53 years, perhaps more than half of a lifetime. We acted together in many plays. We cried, we laughed. We were very happy, sometimes unhappy, sometimes very happy. We always supported each other. So many things were said about him. There's not much left for me to say anyway. Zihni Göktay was a great artist. He was a friend, a companion. I will miss his jokes very much. I will miss his anecdotes. I will miss him driving me crazy on stage. It doesn't suit him at all. It shouldn't have been like this on stage. May everyone's condolences be accepted, may his children's condolences be accepted." Actor Hakan Altıner said, "On the night of October 28th, the play 'Köşe Başı' will open here for Zihni Göktay. May his soul rest in peace." Following the memorial ceremony, the coffin of the master actor Zihni Göktay was carried on shoulders to the hearse amidst tears and applause from those in attendance. The funeral service for the master artist will be held at Şakirin Mosque after noon, and he will be laid to rest at Karacaahmet Cemetery. #news #breakingnews #currentaffairs ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our IHA Aktüel Channel, where we bring you expert opinions on many frequently asked questions 👇 📌 https://bit.ly/IHA-Aktuel Ihlas News Agency Official Website 🌐 http://www.iha.com.tr Follow us on Social Media! 📍   / iha.com.tr   📍   / ihacomtr   📍   / ihacomtr   📍 htt...
