message: Have you guys ever know his parents was Iranian!?
Put it in the article. Note, however, that his name appears to be Armenian - what's the deal with that? Ellsworth 20:16, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: If you'd done a little research, you'd have seen that the longstanding text was "rug merchant", which is quite reasonable for a citizen of the Ottoman Empire.  The change was made with this edit on 5 December, which was the most recent edit when you put up the tag.  I have changed the text back to "rug merchant" and removed the citation tag.  --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 15:46, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Drug merchant father

message: Hi, his family name is not persian but turkish. Its a typical turkich word both for vocabulary and also for suffix made structure:
Dök: to cast
Dök + me: casting (buttonning)
Dök + me + ci: casting (buttoning) maker
By the way its suffix is "-ci" which has the same meaning like -er in english. Like football, footballer  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.133.129.16 (talk) 12:00, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Not exactly: "Button maker" is "Düğmeci" (Düğme = Button). "Dökmeci" means "Ore Caster" (iron ore, etc.); in short, "the person who casts a metal ore" (Orecaster, Caster). 151.57.195.163 (talk) 11:06, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Is there any information on why his parents left the Ottoman part of Armenia? Was it for economic opportunity, or were they trying to escape the Armenian Genocide? It said they left in the early 1900s, just around the time the genocide happened. Bostoner (talk) 22:58, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reasons for Parent's Emigration to the US? 

message: Serious citation needed for following section: plants built by Luz Limited International (LUZ) in the late 1980s. His veto resulted in LUZ' bankruptcy and a 15-year hiatus in the construction of large solar power projects worldwide.
His veto singlehandedly caused a 15-year hiatus in the construction of large solar power projects?  Really?  Basically you are admitting that without the tax break they project failed.  This means that the company was not profitable.  I would say that the lack of a viable/profitable solar project model was the reason there was a hiatus in construction.  Otherwise, please source the ridiculous article that would have claimed the above was true- James F  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.165.27.130 (talk) 20:57, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
