I greet you with “Tepeyran”, another National Struggle face of Niğde, again…

Ebubekir Hazım Tepeyran (1864-1947): He is the son of Niğde Tahrirat Manager Bekir Beyzade Hasan Efendi. Since he was born from the "Tepe-viran" district in Yenice District, called "Tepeyran" among the people in Niğde, he took this name as his last name. He graduated from Niğde High School (High School). I am happy that I finished the same high school (1970). He learned Arabic, Persian and French with private lessons. Governorate building in Mosul, Monastery, Baghdad. After the announcement of the Constitutional Monarchy, he served as the Governors of Sivas and Ankara, İstanbul Şehreminliği and Bursa Governorship. During the armistice period, he made the Ministry of Interior twice. While in this position, he was convicted and sentenced to death in the Military Court, which was established by the occupation army on the grounds that he helped Kuwait Milliye and was saved at the last minute; sentence was converted to rowing conviction (2). When the military appeal overturned during Tevfik Pasha's grand vizier, he secretly passed to Anatolia. Upon Atatürk's request, he was brought to the Governors of Sivas and Trabzon by the Ankara Government. He was a deputy in the Republican Era; He was elected as a deputy of Nigde three times. Turkish, French poetry, memoirs, stories and novel books were published. His only novel, Küçük Pasha (1920), took an important place in Turkish literature.

Tepeyr that; He is the grandfather of journalist, writer, poet Oktay Akbal.
