Life

Ahmet Gündüz Ökçün was born in 1935 in Eskişehir, Turkey.[1] He graduated from Faculty of Political Sciences of Ankara University. He served in the same faculty as an academic and later as a dean. He was married and a father of two. He died on 26 November 1986.[1]

Political career

Ökçün joined the Republican People’s Party (CHP), and was elected as a deputy in the general election held on 5 June 1977 from Eskişehir Province. He was appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs on 21 June 1977 in the 40th government.[2] As the government failed to receive the vote of confidence, his mission in the ministry ended into just one month. However, the 42nd government of Turkey in the next year, which could receive the vote of confidence, he was able to resume the same post, and served between 5 January 1978 and 12 November 1979.[3]

gollark: I don't like it. We use a BT router with that "feature" at home and I cannot figure out how to turn it off and it *annoys me slightly*.
gollark: Self-driving cars should probably not be using the mobile/cell network just for communicating with nearby cars, since it adds extra latency and complexity over some direct P2P thing, and they can't really do things which rely on constant high-bandwidth networking to the internet generally, since they need to be able to not crash if they go into a tunnel or network dead zone or something.
gollark: My problem isn't *that* (5G apparently has improvements for more normal frequencies anyway), but that higher bandwidth and lower latency just... isn't that useful and worth the large amount of money for most phone users.
gollark: Personally I think 5G is pointless and overhyped, but eh.
gollark: It's a house using some sort of sci-fi-looking engines to take off, superimposed on the text "5G", with "London," and "is in the house." above and below it respectively.
