Safiye Soyman mourns son Harun Akaröz on second anniversary

Turkish singer Safiye Soyman gathered at Gündoğan Cemetery in Bodrum on July 28, 2024, to mark the second anniversary of her son Harun Akaröz's death. Harun, who suffered from multiple sclerosis, died a day earlier on July 28, 2024, in Burdur after respiratory failure linked to his condition. The memorial featured prayers, Qur'an recitation and condolences from family and friends, including fellow artist Faik Öztürk. Soyman repeatedly expressed her grief, saying, "Şarkılarımı söylerken gözüm hep yaşlı. İçim ağlar," and appealed for others not to experience child loss. The ceremony underscored the personal toll of the disease and the family's ongoing remembrance.
