Note on the name Eşref Armağan

Because the name is Turkish, there are a couple of symbols there that may need some explanation.
His first name, Eşref, pronounced Eshref, is spelt E, s-cedilla, r, e, f. Some people may have problems displaying or reading the s-cedilla character.
His last name, Armağan, roughly pronounced Armahan, is spelt A, r, m, a, g-breve, a, n. The g-breve character looks like a g with a squiggle over it, and in Turkish it's more like a glottal stop than a g.
