Book P. 140 Agop Martayan (1895-1979)

Gravesite, 2009 

Şişli (Shishli) Armenian cemetery

This large monument at the gravesite of Agop Martayan was commissioned by Mustafa Ataturk. He (Martayan) was designated by Mustafa Ataturk to develop a modern Turkish alphabet. Martayan used the letters of the Latin alphabet, with slight modifications. Ataturk bestowed upon Martayan the name, “Dilacar,” …dil (meaning tongue/language in Turkish)… acar (to open).

The name “Dilacar,” as well as Agop Martayan, is engraved on his grave marker (as shown above) at the Şişli (Shishli) Armenian Cemetery in Istanbul. Photo 2009, HK.

A white grave with crosses and the names of people.
