Biography

Born in 1893 in Sinop, he studied at the Gülhane Military Medical Academy and graduated in 1914. He was sent to the Caucasus front during World War I. After the war, he joined the Turkish nationalist movement in Ankara and took part in the Greco-Turkish War as part of the 7th Division. After the war, he retired from the army at the rank of Major and started a career in politics shortly after.

He was elected a member of the Grand National Assembly in 1935, from Sinop, and would serve for 16 years until his death in 1951. In November 1940, he became the 2nd Minister of Transport and held that office until November 1941. 5 years later, in August 1946, he served as the Minister of Public Works until September 1947.[1]
