Freelance investigative journalist, Researcher, Fixer in Istanbul Turkey

I have worked with Memet on many occasions covering news stories in Turkey, Iraq and Syria. He is knowledgable, determined and excellent at dealing with officials and bureaucracy. He is also great to work with. Highly recommended.

During my 27 year long career I have found that fixers were absolutely essential for international news coverage.I’ve worked with Mr Memet Aksakal covering the siege of Kobani in 2014.Mr Aksakal’s knowledge of the region, conflict, and local mentality has proven to be invaluable. His calm manner and candour approach has opened many doors for us with the government officials and the local population, and ensured that our coverage was bar none.I highly recommend Mr Aksakal for work relating to news as he is very detailed, proficient, and extremely hard working.

We have worked with Memet Aksakal several times on a wide range of news stories, and he has always been able to secure all the necessary interviews, permits etc.In addition he is a nice guy to hang out with!Looking forward to the next time we will work with him.Sonja S. SundeTV 2 Norway

I worked with Memet on many occasions. He is knowledgeable about current events, knows many contacts and sources and has a journalist's perspective of the news. His knowledge of Turkish and Kurdish is also helpful on certain stories.
