Freedom Team Interview: Aret Demirci in Focus
Meet Aret Demirci, our most recent addition to the #FreedomTeam as a Project Manager in the Regional Office for East and Southeast Europe. His favourite freedom quote is by Martin Luther King, "Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor. It must be demanded by the oppressed."Aret was born in an Armenian family in Turkey, but he grew up and socialised in Germany. So he feels close to three different cultures at the same time. Aret joined the Freedom Team in Turkey in March 2013, only a few weeks before the Gezi protests started. It is a coincidence, but it made more valuable for him to work for FNF while entire Turkey was struggling for more freedom.Find below the full Freedom Team Interview.
