Raymond Pierre Paul Westerling (31 August 1919 – 26 November 1987), nicknamed ''the Turk'', was a Dutch military officer of the KNIL (Royal Netherlands East Indies Army). He waged a counter-insurgency operation in Sulawesi during the Indonesian National Revolution after World War II. He was also responsible for a coup attempt against the Indonesian government in January 1950, a month after the official transfer of sovereignty. Both actions were denounced as war crimes by the Indonesian authorities. ==Youth in Istanbul== Westerling, born in 1919 in Istanbul, was the son of a Greek mother and a Dutch antique dealer whose family had lived there for three generations. He grew up speaking Greek, Turkish, French and English. In his memoirs he wrote, "One of the few Western European languages that I didn’t speak a word of was my 'mother tongue': Dutch". When the Second World War engulfed Europe in 1941, he went to the Dutch consulate in Istanbul and enlisted in the Dutch army, much to his father’s dismay.
