Ahmet Şakir Mersinoğlu

Proud to be born at the same year as Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. He worked at the custom office in Selanik and was last to leave it when Greeks took control. As they were leaving their home in a hurry the Greeks soldiers shoot at them and broke the olive oil earthware container which was at the top of their pile of belongings on a horse cart. Greek neighbours stop the soldiers from shooting saying he is a good man let him go! My mum says he belived in recarnation or joked about it saying who would be that cat? He also was very gentle and wouldnt send his sons to school ıf ıt was raining. He also told my mum look at that women passing by isnt she good looking.
