It’s rare to find this language combination at professional level in both the Greek and Turkish markets. In my case, however, it is a key pillar of my professional activity, as I am not only fully fluent in the Turkish language, but I have also been inspired to study Turkish society, its economy and the geopolitical situation. The following factors have all contributed to this:
- my long stay in Turkey and my day-to-day following of social developments there
- academic studies at Turkish institutions and attendance at seminars on geopolitical issues during my time there
- my work experience in translation companies in Istanbul
- close family ties to people of Turkish origin and day-to-day contact with them.
Rather than simply conveying the surface meaning of words, interpreting delves deeper, uniting countries and bridging cultures. Interpreters become cultural diplomats and ensure that peoples are brought together.
That is the very core of my role at Translation Embassy, where thanks to the Greek and Turkish language services I offer, I am able to bring together 2 countries whose relations have historically been tempestuous.
