He was very frustrated with his life in the refugee camp. I could feel from Aras’ letters that he was suffering from depression.
I don’t know precisely when and why, but something connected us, and we started exchanging long messages on Facebook-letters. I guess we were the same age however, I never asked him. He was a Sunni Muslim by birth, though he seemed very secular and also far left. My friend-Aras-was born and raised in Marivan-a city in Kurdistan province in Iran.
We were Facebook friends-friends of friends-though sometimes I wondered about our connection on Facebook because all his posts were written in Kurdish, which I barely understood. Years ago, I had a pen pal, a man who wrote to me-in Tehran-sporadically for about a year, from a refugee camp in Turkey.
