==Life==
Güney was born in Paphos, Cyprus in 1932 to Turkish Cypriot parents.〔 After leaving school, he served in the British army and police on the island. However, in 1955, with the rise of EOKA Greek Cypriots fought a violent campaign for the end of British rule as well as for union with Greece (enosis); Güney fought against this by becoming a founding member of the Volkan organisation.〔 In 1958 he emigrated to Britain where he set up a music publishing business and became a millionaire at the age of 35.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ramadan Güney'in davası Eylül'de )〕 In 1977 he helped found and run the first Turkish Cypriot mosque in London, called the Shacklewell Lane Mosque, and worked on a variety of social and community projects, arising from his work with the UK Turkish Islamic Centre.〔
He acquired Brookwood Cemetery in 1985, the purchase evolved from Güney's role as Chairman of the UK Turkish Islamic Trust, which wanted suitable burial facilities for its members.〔 He died at the age of 74 in Northern Cyprus, due to a heart attack.;〔 following a service at his Mosque in London, he was buried in his family vault at Brookwood Cemetery on Friday 10 November 2006.〔
