| Why create a web
site?????? |
|
The end of 1999 we lost our best friend and father
Mehmet Ozduzen
in a tragic accident. I have not met anybody who loves their hometown
more than my father did. Therefore I decided to create a web site to
honor my father and celebrate the life that he devoted to
Adiyaman. You will find a lot of information in this site, which
I will try to keep fresh and informative. My first aim is to introduce
Adiyaman to the people around the world and to inform them about
Adiyaman and its environment, home (according to UNESCO),
to the eight wonder of the world, Mt. Nemrut. |

| A short biography: |
| I
was born in Adiyaman,
Turkey. As I mentioned, my father’s name is Mehmet
Ozduzen
and mother's name is Ayse Ozduzen. I have a brother, Nejdet
and two sisters, Nezahat and Sebahat. We lost another brother, our oldest, in
1985. My oldest sister lives in Ankara Turkey and my older brother lives in Canakkale. My
younger sister and I live in Minnesota US. I finished high school in Adiyaman
after which I got a degree in physical education from Gazi University in
Ankara in 1982. I worked as a teacher for 10 years in more than 10
different places in Turkey. I quit teaching and moved to US in 1995. After I
came to US, I decided to get another degree. After contemplating my
prospects for a while, I decided to get a degree in computer Science. I will
graduate at the end of 2001. I then hope to find a nice and challenging job
in that field.

| Who
are Nezahat and Hicri Koroglu? |
| Nezahat
Koroglu
is my sister and Hicri is her husband. I
have to mention one more person here, my niece and their daughter Sera Koroglu.
Nezahat and Hicri put a lot of effort into this web site. Hicri does most
of the translations. Nezahat typed most of the material and she organized
the site. I want to thank them with all my heart, especially to Sera, who
patiently occupied herself while her parents were busy with this site’s
preparation. |
