i met mr alusi shortly after the conference, went to turkey where i was on holiday, and for almost a week talked regularly. we were staying at the same hotel. i've since tried to communicate with him but to no avail. i do believe that he is a brave and a man of conviction. my sympathy to the loss of his sons, a tragic loss.
