Extended coverage of Nobel laureate Aziz Sancar

Posted Oct 18, 2015
A week ago, in the town of Savur, in Turkey’s Mardin province on the border of Syria, a Turkish flag hung outside the boyhood home of Aziz Sancar. It was here that relatives gathered with townspeople to celebrate the news that Sancar had won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Six thousand miles away, during another celebration in Chapel Hill, Sancar took time to remember the plight of the people of Savur who were celebrating him, with a passionate appeal for peace.
