Today, Nazim Hikmet's poems ara loved and read by the people. New generation trying to understand him and his hope for free society. In an age where all the boundaries are lifted, meaning of freedom is defined and better understood still some people ara trying to label Nazım Hikmet as traitor. This is an indication of his effectiveness as poet and his greatness.
