Kocaman, who cannot grow further due to
a bone disorder, said it would be great to be in World Record
Books and that she wants everyone to know her and talk about
her.
Garrett and Emin Gorgun, the Turkey brand
manager for Guinness World Records, visited Kocaman and her
parents, Ibrahim and Hatun Kocaman, initiating the process
of registering her claim.
The “world’s smallest person” Guinness world
record previously belonged to He Pingping from China, who
was 74.61 centimeters tall when he died in March at the age
of 21.
Before his death, he appeared at events
in Turkey with Sultan Köse, the Turkish man who is the tallest
person in the world at two meters, 46.5 centimeters tall.
