Married, with problems.
Volkan Özfiliz is striving to bring his wife, Sitova Rahmanova—who
is stranded in Turkmenistan—to Türkiye; although her visa has been
approved, she has not been granted an exit permit.
Volkan Özfiliz is making great efforts to bring his wife, Sitova
Rahmanova, back to Türkiye from Turkmenistan, where she is currently
stranded. Sitova Rahmanova, a Turkmen national who had settled in
Türkiye in 2016, entered into a religious marriage with Volkan Özfiliz,
whom she met in Istanbul.
However (!), after her residence permit expired two years ago, she was
sent to Azerbaijan following stays of four and a half months at a
repatriation center in Ankara and five months at a center in Bursa.
Özfiliz traveled to Baku to be with the woman he loved and spent six
months trying to arrange an official marriage. The couple finally
married legally last April, and their marriage was also recognized
by Turkmenistan. However, Rahmanova became stranded in
Turkmenistan after returning there to renew her passport.
Stating that his wife has been unable to leave Turkmenistan for
approximately four months, Volkan Özfiliz said, "Our family
reunification visa has been approved. Despite this, Turkmenistan
is arbitrarily refusing to allow my wife to leave."
Appealing to Turkish authorities, Özfiliz cried out, "I have submitted
requests to CİMER [the Presidential Communication Center] at least
15 times, but I have received no response. I suffered three heart attacks
last year due to this distress. There is no one listening to me."
