SULTAN II. ABDULHAMID KHAN’S POWERFUL MEMORY<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

His Memory <\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

AbdulHamid Han II would never forget something he saw or heard even if only once. His retentive memory would give everyone a shock.
\nThe Sultan was dethroned and taken to Salonica by the rebels.<\/p>\n

\n

When he was on probation, one of the guardian officers drew his attention. His name was Cevher Agha and said:
\n\u2018\u2019I know this man. I never forget people after meeting them. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s him. When I was hosting the Emperor (of Germany) at the Talimhane Kiosk, I showed my guests how I drilled my young soldiers. This man was a young boy then. The way he used his sword was remarkable. The Emperor and I liked it a lot. Thus, I gave him a gold medal with my own hands. His name is Hakki Efendi. Ask him if you can find a way to talk to him, I want to know what he is going to say.\u2019\u2019<\/h4>\n

Cevher Agha found a way and told Lieutenant Hakki Efendi about it. Hakki Efendi was surprised, and said: <\/h4>\n

\u2018\u2019Yes, it\u2019s me. How come he still remembers me? I was very young at that time. Now I am forty. I have grey hair, years passed by. I am actually stunned by his memory… But please, don\u2019t mention about this to anyone.\u2019\u2019 <\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fifty Years Ago <\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

During the last years of 19th century, he asks to an Ambassador:
\n\u2018\u2019Excellency, you seem familiar! Have we met before?\u2019\u2019
\n\u2018\u2019I don\u2019t think we have, Your Majesty. I haven\u2019t visited your lands for half a century.\u2019\u2019
\n\u2018\u2019So you were here fifty years ago!…\u2019\u2019
\n\u2018\u2019Yes, Your Majesty. During the reign of your dear father Abdulmecid Han, my father was the first clerk of the embassy. When he accepted the council of the embassy to his room, I was there, next to my father. But I was nine years old.\u2019\u2019
\n\u2018\u2019Alright! I was around 10, and I was watching the council behind the trellis! So that\u2019s where I saw you!\u2019\u2019
\nRemembering the 9 year old child after fifty years shocked the Ambassador. <\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Streets of Paris <\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hear it from a European author: <\/h4>\n

\u2018\u2019He perfectly fulfilled his duty in Paris with his intelligence and knowledge. It was obvious for everyone that this man who is very talented in hiding his emotions (when he was 17-18 years old) was interested in everything and making research about them in detail.
\nDespite the 30 years that passed by, AbdulHamid II remembered the streets of Paris that he saw before, and the names of the officers who he was introduced to.\u2019\u2019 <\/h4>\n
