Ergun Çagatay was a Turkish photographer and photojournalist of international renown. A professional photo-reporter working freelance for major international news agencies, his life changed dramatically when he was badly wounded in 1983 during the ASALA attack on the Turkish Airlines counter at the Orly airport outside of Paris.
