The road to the university led from \"Trefort\" high school. I can remember the teachers of my first alma mater with heartfelt gratitude and love. They were unique founts of all wisdom, and provided me with excellent ammunition for the road ahead.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I enrolled in the Faculty of Humanities of ELTE in 1950. There, in a matter of a few weeks, it was decided that I was to become a Turkologist. In such a way, it was not romantic affections that proved to be the antecedents: the choice was suggested by my brilliant professors in history.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 At the Department of Turkology, constituting a one-person class, for many years I was the student of the great masters of international Turkology\u2013Gyula N\u00e9meth and Lajos Fekete. The various aspects of my major also led me to Lajos Ligeti. From them it was possible to learn everything\u2013even beyond the subject of Turkology\u2013that was necessary for embarking on a career in scholarly research.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 At the same time, Gyula N\u00e9meth and Lajos Ligeti\u2013unparalleled scholars\u2013were very difficult persons in organizing the circle of their disciples. Organizing Oriental Studies was no exception either. Views different from theirs inevitably caused a conflict with them. This is what happened to me too. Their greatness as scholars was, however, demonstrated by the fact that they were able to put all this aside when they had to evaluate my dissertation to become a professor. Lajos Ligeti\u2013Gyula N\u00e9meth was no longer alive at the time\u2013also recommended me for membership in the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA) ahead of his other students.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The experiences of the years as a young researcher produced one great resolution: in research, do everything as the masters do, but in the human sphere, do everything in a different way.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was an accident that the course of my life took me abroad very early. In 1956\u201357 when I was an aspirant, I read Turkology to a large group of students at the invitation of the University of Sofia. A few years later, this was followed by my work at Humboldt University and the German Academy of Sciences (1963\u20131982).
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 However, there were some other reasons for accepting the latter foreign invitation that proved to be decisive in my career.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Upon completing my studies as an aspirant, I more and more sensed that my generation of colleagues did not want to see me playing cards at the same table of Oriental Studies, even as a kibitzer. In this way, although the opportunities were very limited at the time, I had to look for foreign tables. And there, I was immediately dealt a better hand. The condition, however, was that I\u2013especially as a foreigner\u2013had to play this hand very well.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In turn, throughout my life I faced the challenge, the incentive to try and attain more and better.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After spending twenty years on German soil, I returned home in 1982. I became a member of the Academy of Sciences at the recommendation of B\u00e9la K\u00f6peczi, Lajos Ligeti and Ferenc T\u0151kei, and a little later, at the initiative of the Secretary General of the Academy of Sciences, the Director General of the Publishing House of the Academy of Sciences (1984\u20131990).
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 1990s called me abroad again: in 1992, I became the Director of the newly established Institute of Turkology of the University of Cyprus. I had to lay the foundations of Turkology on the Greek side of the island that suffered from the Greek-Turkish conflict. The work was not easy, but the years spent on the island of Aphrodite were unforgettable all the same.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What is the record of all these years?
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As far as scholarly publications are concerned\u2013although I will say a few words about them a little later\u2013the relevant handbooks will provide the necessary information.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In the work of Turkology and events in that field, I have had a no small number of prestigious jobs. As a result of that, I was able to see the world as a visiting professor.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I have to be honest: in fact, I owe my generation of colleagues great thanks for being reluctant to see me at home.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The chronological frame of our lifework is not within our choice.\nThe century in which I was destined to live was not one to be loved. Our generation paid a high price for what had happened around us. At the same time, the century itself presented a challenge to all thinking people. For me, this was crowned by very adventurous positions: I had to remain a man and a European citizen under difficult circumstances.<\/p>


\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My friends and colleagues encourage me to write my memoirs. I have something to say. I have already found a title: Against Headwinds On the Lee Side.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
