Ali Yalçın

This page was compiled from sources by mezirme.com.

Ali Yalçın is a retired lieutenant general who served as Commander of the Turkish Cypriot Peace Forces (Kıbrıs Türk Barış Kuvvetleri). The list of commanders on Wikipedia gives his years in office as 1996–1998 (Wikipedia). Malatya Haber, however, gives 1988–1990 (Malatya Haber, 21 Jan 2025); in the same list those years belong to another commander. We have not yet been able to verify which is correct against an official source.

According to a Malatya Haber report of January 2025, he had died about two years before the report (Malatya Haber, 21 Jan 2025). His year and place of birth are not given in the sources.

Connection to the village

Süleyman Özerol counts “Em. Korgeneral Ali Yalçın” (retired Lieutenant General Ali Yalçın) among the people of Ballıkaya (Özerol, blog); Durum Gazetesi also names him among the figures who came from the village (Durum Gazetesi, 18 Apr 2024). In its report on the death of his son, Prof. Dr. Atakan Yalçın, in the hotel fire at Kartalkaya, Bolu, in January 2025, Malatya Haber describes the family as “aslen Hekimhan- Mezirme (Ballıkaya) köyünden” (originally from the village of Mezirme (Ballıkaya), Hekimhan) (Malatya Haber, 21 Jan 2025).
