Revision as of 21:45, 21 December 2021

A portrait of a volunteer officer of the Civil Service Battalion (Asâkir-i Mülkiye Taburu), which was established in Thessaloniki on 23 December 1876. Atatürk had said that That's not my father when shown the picture. This portrait had been suggested by İlhan Sungu in his article titled "Atatürk'ün Babası Ali Efendi ve Mensup Olduğu Selânik Asakir-i Mülkiye Taburu" and has commenced to be published as Ali Rıza's portrait in 1939.

Ali Rıza Efendi (1839–1888) was the father of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the husband of Zübeyde Hanım.

He was born in Selanik, (modern Thessalonika in present-day Aegean Macedonia) but then the most important city in the Ottoman Empire in Europe after Constantinople/Istanbul. He worked as a customs official and died in 1888 at age 49, when his son was 7 years old. At Mustafa's birth Ali Riza hung his sword over his son’s cradle, dedicating him to military service. Most important, Ali Riza saw to it that his son’s earliest education was carried out in a modern secular school. He left the poorly paying clerk's job to start a lumber business, but bandits set fire to his stock after extorting money from him. He attempted to rejoin the civil service without success. Then started to drink heavily, which may have contributed to his early death. He is thought to be of local descent: Albanian or Slavic (i.e. Slavophonic, Macedonian) by some scholars as Andrew Mango, Lou Giaffo, Ernst Jaeckh, etc. However the village where his family was born has still a Turkish majority population, and Falih Rıfkı Atay, journalist and close friend of Atatürk, claimed he descends from Turks of Söke, in Aydın Province. According to other historians such as Vamik D. Volkan, Norman Itzkowitz, Hasan İzzettin Dinamo, etc: Ali Rıza's ancestors were Turks, ultimately descending from Söke in the Aydın Province of Anatolia.

Ali Riza's family comes from Kodžadžik, in Centar Župa Municipality, today in North Macedonia, where there is a memorial house.

The reconstructed house of Ali Rıza Efendi's family, in Kodžadžik, North Macedonia
