Diploma (Anahid B. Bezazian)Scope and Content
This trilingual secondary school diploma belonged to Anahid B. Bezazian, born in Constantinople in 1910. It was issued on 30 July 1926 by the Bezazian College in Bakırköy (historically Makriköy), Constantinople/Istanbul. The document certifies the completion of secondary studies and is printed in Armenian, French, and Ottoman Turkish, reflecting the multilingual educational environment of late Ottoman and early Republican-era minority institutions. Anahid Bezazian was the daughter of Boghos Bezazian and the sister of Hagop Bezazian. Her family played a central role in the establishment and operation of the school: founded in 1908 by Boghos Bezazian in Bakırköy, the institution initially opened as a primary and secondary school. In 1926, a lycée (high school) section was added, expanding its curriculum. The school continued operating at the secondary level until the beginning of the Second World War, when it was closed due to financial difficulties.Category
