The pageant was held by İpek Film on May 3, 1925 or 1926 (sources differ) at Istanbul’s famed Beyoğlu Melek Cinema Hall (present-day Emek Cinema Hall). However, the contest wasn't taken seriously by the public and press and was subsequently deemed void.
In 1929 she participated in the first Miss Turkey competition and finished in 3rd place after Feriha Tevfik and Semine Nihat. She was of Armenian descent.
