Subject to political pressure and prosecution, Abidin Dino left Turkey in 1952 to settle in Paris, France.

By translating the works of the poet Nazım Hikmet and the writer Yaşar Kemal into French language, she introduced Turkish literature into France.

She also served many years as the head of the Turkish language section of the Radio France Internationale (RFI).

Güzin Dino continued to live her entire life alone in this house after Abidin's death from throat cancer in 1993.

Telling about her life with Abidin Dino, the Turkish policy and the memories with Nazım Hikmet to the younger generations, she used to lament that "That country never showed respect and dignity for its valued citizens".
