I will tell you the "oldies"

Nubar Terziyan was the lovely father or grand father off almost all old Turkish movies. Kenan Pars was the "bad man", also Sami Hazinses was the actor for the "sad clown" parts in movies.

May all of them rest in piece..

Garo Mafyan, a great composer.
There is also a famous model, namely Vahe Kılıçaslan.

Those are the ones I can think of for now.

Edit :Leyla, yes he was. His real name is Kirkor Cezveciyan and the real name of Sami Hazinses is Samuel Uluc.

I also remembered two more Danyal (Danyel) Topatan and Vahe Öz .

They were all the celebrities of their times and still are since they are remembered.

EDIT: Sera, if you think Fatih is pathetic, please don't hesitate to call me a pathetic, too, since I agree with him 100%. Well said FATİH.

O.CETIN BAYRAMOGLU

why don't you remember :ASU MARALMAN - singer

Vahagn

I think Sera did good too!

Don't forget Ara Güler, the famous photographer.

The music group "Sefarad", I guess, and Onno Tunc - he was a musician working with Sezen Aksu before he passed away, and Arto Tuncboyaciyan, he is also a musician working with Sezen Aksu... not sure of their origin though, just because of their names, I thought they could be of Armenian origin...

edit:There is also Udi Hrant, one of the greatest musicians in Turkish traditional music...

Ldn.

sevan bicakci

the jewel designer with lots of prizes worldwide

ev pandası

The group "Sefarad" is not turkish-armenian, it's turkish-jewish.

There are many people from armenian origins in the arts and culture, not only in Turkey, but also in other countries worldwide...

In Turkey, the person I admire the most was the genius composer Onno Tunç (Onno Tunçboyacyan)... He wrote master of piece songs, such as "Sen Aglama" and "Geri Dön"...These melodies are not only music, they are also magic, according to me...

yav

Sera deserves 10 points

habisce

To pumpkin : Your guess is wrong!
Sefarad is Jews.Their ancestors came from Spain.

TURKEY FOREVER

Bravo, Fatih, you are the Best, you are the Legend in Turkey Section...

Thank you so much...
