As of 1 October 2009, he wanted to start performing a show called "Karanfil Kokuyor Cıgaram" where he would read the poems from the book "Hasretinden Prangalar Eskittim" by Ahmed Arif in Bakırköy Art Center. The visual director of the show would be his son Temmuz Salman. His daughter Devrim Salman would be the soloist on the show. However, due to some temporary health problems of İlyas Salman, the program was postponed for a while.[8]
