SİLAHLI
In the previous days, we commemorated the founder of school Dikran Efendi Karagözyan on the anniversary of his death. We gathered some information about his life from the website of our school:
“Dikran Efendi Karagözyan was the 4th children of Ohannes Efendi Karagözyan who had 9 children. He was born in Istanbul in 1834. He was engaged in commerce and money-changing and fluent in French and English. The fact that he learned German after the age of 50 shows that he valued education. Being a person who valued culture and literature, Dikran Efendi was honored with the title of “distinguished” by the Ottoman state. He was also granted honor medals of Mecidiye I and Osmaniye III. His biggest dream was to establish a school. After his sudden death in 1896, his siblings and relatives fulfilled his will and started to work for opening Karagözyan School.
