Ali Rıza Efendi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ali Rıza Efendi (1839 – 1888) was the father of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the husband of Zübeyde Hanım.
He was born in Thessaloniki, Ottoman Empire and worked as a customs official. He died in 1888, when his son was 7 years old. He is thought to be of Albanian origin,[3][4][5][6][7] although Falih Rıfkı Atay, journalist and close friend of Atatürk, holds that he has roots in Söke, in Aydın Province.[1][8] Historian and biographer Patrick Kinross writes that "this can only be a matter for surmise".[9]
Ali Riza's family comes from the village Kodžadžik, Centar Župa Municipality, Macedonia, where there is a memorial house.[10]
