Rıza Tevfik Bölükbaşı
Turkish poet and philosopher, one of the signatories of armistice of Mondros / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rıza Tevfik Bey (Rıza Tevfik Bölükbaşı after the Turkish Surname Law of 1934; 1869 – 31 December 1949) was an Ottoman and later Turkish philosopher, poet, politician of liberal signature[1] and a community leader (for some members among the Bektashi community) of the late-19th-century and early-20th-century. A polyglot,[2] he is most remembered in Turkey for being one of the four Ottoman signatories of Treaty of Sèvres, for which reason he was included in 1923 among the 150 personae non gratae of Turkey, and he spent 20 years in exile until he was given amnesty by Turkey in 1943.
