Şükrü Saracoğlu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mehmet Şükrü Saracoğlu (1887-1953) was a Turkish politician and the 6th Prime Minister of Republic of Turkey. He was also the chairman of Fenerbahçe football club during his Prime Ministry.
The Varlık Vergisi, a law on capital taxation enacted during his goverment in 1942, was imposed on wealthy non-Muslim minorities in Turkey in an arbitrary and unrealistic manner. It caused much criticism at home and abroad that led finally to its abolition in 1944. The short living draconian law effected also a landslide victory of the opposition Democratic Party in the 1950 general elections.[1]
The home of the Turkish football club Fenerbahçe, Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, is named after him.
