Fikri Sonmez, known as Terzi Fikri, emerged from a humble background in Turkey to become a significant socialist politician and the mayor of Fatsa from 1979 to 1980. His political journey began in the 1960s with the Turkish Workers' Party, and he was actively involved in protests against the U.S. 6th Fleet.
