Sadık Eliyeşil (November 3, 1925 – June 16, 2008) was a wealthy Turkish businessman as well as a racehorse owner and breeder, best known for his thoroughbreds' record winning of 13 races at the Gazi Race, Turkey's most prestigious horse racing event. He was a third-generation member of a rich landowner and industrialist family. ==Biography== Sadık Eliyeşil was born on November 3, 1925 to a wealthy family at Tarsus, Mersin Province in southern Turkey. His ancestors were landowners and textile producers in the cotton-growing Çukurova region since the 1880s. His father Şadi Eliyeşil was a prominent leader of the resistance movement against the French occupation in Cilicia in 1920, and one of the first industrialists of Turkish origin. The diverse companies owned and run by his family were incorporated in 1972 under Çukurova Holding, one of Turkey's biggest conglomerates today. It is notable that the home of Müftüzade Sadık Pasha, Sadık Eliyeşil's grandfather, in Tarsus was one of the first two houses to be electrified in the Ottoman Empire in 1902, twelve years before electricity was available in Istanbul, the empire's then capital.〔 Following his secondary education at Şişli Terakki High School and Boğaziçi High School in Istanbul, he studied textile engineering at Manchester University in the United Kingdom. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1949, Sadık Eliyeşil returned home.〔〔〔 Between 1963 and 1974, Sadık Eliyeşil served on the board of Mersin İdmanyurdu SK. He died on June 16, 2008 in Istanbul at the age of 82. Following a funeral service at the Veliefendi Race Course and a religious service at Levent Mosque, he was laid to rest in the family grave at Yeniköy Cemetery in Istanbul.〔〔 Sadık Eliyeşil was survived by wife Gülsüm, a son, Necmettin and two daughters, Şerife and Meliha, as well as six grandchildren.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sadık Eliyeşil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
