Mutlu Torun in English yet?

I have it in Turkish, but would appreciate an English version. I read a year ago that one was in preparation. Any news?

I emailed Nikos Dimitriadis a couple of weeks ago asking about this, here's what he said:

"The method for oud of Mutlu Torun (Turkey) translated in
the English from the clergyman Ioannis from Greece, when it circulates
it will be announced in my NEWS PAGE"

Best Regards

I believe that Mutlu Torun's method is the best method ever published in reference to the Ottoman/Turkish school of oud.
There is a lot of people in Greece sharing the same opinion with me and awaiting the translated version of this method.
Although i am in contact with Nikos and father Ioannis I realy don't know the reasons causing the delay of the circulation of this book.
I hope that it will be published some day even if it will takes a long time.
