Bandirma 2006 2831.jpg

A statue of Turgut Reis. From the Wikipedia: Turgut Reis (1485-1565) was a Turkish privateer and Ottoman admiral as well as Bey of Algiers; Beylerbey of the Mediterranean; and first Bey later Pasha of Tripoli. Known in different languages under such names as Dragut or Darghouth, the original name in Turkey is Turgut Reis (reis = admiral) or less commonly Torgut Reis as his name appears in several old Turkish and foreign resources. You iknow about the Wikipedia: this is probably all veryu correct, maybe not.


For Turks, go to http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turgut_Reis .
