Wikipedia
Ömer Zülfü Livanelioğlu (born 20 June 1946), better known as Zülfü Livaneli, is a Turkish musician, author, poet, and politician.
Livaneli was imprisoned several times during the 1971 Turkish military memorandum for his political views, which led to his exile from Turkey in 1972. He lived in Stockholm, Paris, Athens, and New York City, where he met and collaborated with artists and intellectuals such as Elia Kazan, Arthur Miller, James Baldwin, and Peter Ustinov. Livaneli returned to Turkey in 1984.
In 1995, UNESCO appointed him a Goodwill Ambassador for his cultural works, political activities, and contributions to world peace. He resigned from this position in 2016 to protest what he described as the Turkish State's damage to the historic Kurdish Old Town of Diyarbakir.
He served in the Grand National Assembly and the Council of Europe.
