Her father, Abdulaziz was deposed by his ministers on 30 May 1876, his nephew Murad V became the Sultan.[6] He was transferred to Feriye Palace the next day.[7] Her mother, and other women of Abdulaziz's entourage didn't want to leave the Dolmabahçe Palace. So they were grabbed by hand and were sent out to the Feriye Palace. In the process, they were searched from head to toe and everything of value was taken from them.[8] On 4 June 1876,[9] Abdulaziz died under mysterious circumstances.[10]

Any claims that my father committed suicide are deceitful. I saw it with my own eyes that they murdered my father.[13]
