Street in Istanbul to be named after Turkish-Armenian actorNovember 14, 2014 - 17:20 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The name of veteran Turkish-Armenian actor Nubar Terziyan has been given to an old street in one of Istanbul districts. As Hurriyet Daily News reports, citing Armenian-Turkish weekly newspaper Agos, the executive board of the Büyükdere Surp Hripsimyants Church started the campaign last year but the council of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality rejected the proposal. The foundation subsequently launched a petition campaign and revised the proposal, which was finally approved by the council. Terziyan was born as Nubar Alyanak in 1909 in Istanbul. In 1940 he began his acting career and in 1949 assumed his first major role in an adaptation of Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar’s “Efsuncu Baba.” After performing in hundreds of films and several TV shows, Terziyan died at the age of 84 in 1994. The actor won the hearts of cinema lovers as well as the famous artists of Yeşilçam. He was dubbed “baba” (father) by Turkish cinema’s “Ugly King,” Yılmaz Güney, as well as the handsome actor Ayhan Işık. Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
