   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.
