Tarkan has talked about the importance of classical Turkish music and its special place for himself, naming it as an inspiration to find and develop his own music style: “I'm now experiencing a sweet excitement to share this long-awaited album with you. This album has come to life with your influence and contributions. I wish Ahde Vefa removes the dark clouds of your hearts, and fill them instead with love, even if it's for a short moment."[5]
