ABOUT ME

Merhaba, Salut, Hello, Guten Tag...
My name is Mahmut Can. Mahmut is sometimes hard to say for foreigners so you can call me Can like "John".

I am a lawyer in Turkey and future lawyer in the UK. And I have also graduated from Political Science and Public Administration.

I love people who are open-minded because if we are good guys it doesnt matter our religions, our cultures, our nationalities. They are only diversities not discriminations.

I love showing my culture because i love it. And i wonder other cultures too. Cultures have some in common. These are generally related to be good guy.

PHILOSOPHY

I am an open-minded person. It doesnt mean that i confirm all things you do. But you can be sure that I respect what you do. If you are not offensive to diversities, we can get along with :)
