Recently, a person named \u201cPrincess Nilufer\u201d (former Mrs Katherine Luigi de Andrea) wrote a book in which she USURPED the name of my daughter, Karina, in order to present a person of bad character to an impressive Gala in Montreux, Switzerland. Not only, my daughter is the exact opposite, both physically and morally, from the person that was presented as my daughter (see one of her photos in Family Album on this site), but my daughter has NEVER been in Montreux, Switzerland, and she does not reside in Europe.<\/span><\/span>
Book published in French by Princesse Nillufer, entitled: “POUR L’AMOUR DE TATIANA: La sultane des enfants malades”. \u00a0Published in September 2006 by “PRESSES DE LA RENAISSANCE, BUSSIERE GROUP CPI.<\/span>
Below are the pages written by Nilufer.<\/span>
Verbatim quote from her book pages 182-183-184: <\/span>
QUOTE:\u2014 <\/span>\u201c\u2026Nous allions donc, ma m\u00e8re et moi, parmi les invit\u00e9s du gala, saluant ici et l\u00e0, lorsque M\u00e9thaf Daouad, un ami et le manager g\u00e9n\u00e9ral S.P.A. de la clinique La Prairie (fort connue \u00e0 Montreux), voulut nous pr\u00e9senter une Sultane ottomane! J\u2019en fus tr\u00e8s \u00e9tonn\u00e9e car les seules Sultanes, en Suisse, \u00e0 ma connaissance, \u00e9taient S.A.I. la princesse Nejla Ibrahim, qui d\u2019ailleurs avait d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 de Pully pour aller s\u2019installer \u00e0 Madrid, et moi-m\u00eame! \u00c9tait-ce S.A.I. la princesse Nejla dont parlait M\u00e9thaf Daouad? <\/span>
Pas du tout. Car, au lieu de voir ma tante Nejla, longue et svelte, s\u2019avancer vers nous, nous v\u00eemes, maman et moi, une personne blonde, assez corpulante, pas tr\u00e8s grande et habill\u00e9e d\u2019une fa\u00e7on tr\u00e8s clinquante, que M\u00e9thaf nous presenta en ses termes: \u201c Voici la princesse Karina!\u201d <\/span>
Imm\u00e9diatement, ma m\u00e8re et moi-m\u00eame lui f\u00eemes subir un v\u00e9ritable interrogatoire, malgr\u00e9 le cocktail qui battait son plein, et tout le bruit environnant. <\/span>
Tr\u00e8s embarrass\u00e9e, la soi-disant \u201cprincesse\u201d essayait d\u2019esquiver nos questions. Elle ne se rappelait plus ni le nom de son p\u00e8re ni celui de son grand-p\u00e8re et finalement proposa d\u2019aller chercher sa m\u00e8re qui, elle, pourrait r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 toutes nos questions. <\/span>
\u201cC\u2019est tr\u00e8s bien, allez trouver votre m\u00e8re et dites -lui que la princesse Nilufer Sultane voudrait la rencontrer.\u201d <\/span>
Compl\u00e8tement d\u00e9contenanc\u00e9e, elle tourna les talons. On ne la revit plus de la soir\u00e9e! Des amis, les Badoux, qui nous rejoignaient, nous demand\u00e8rent en riant: \u201cQui est-ce?“<\/span> \u2014 “Encore un de ces imposteurs!\u201d r\u00e9pond\u00eemes-nous, ne croyant pas si bien dire! <\/span>
Nous avions raison, il s\u2019agissait, en effet, de la fille de la fameuse madame Nadine Dawson qui se faisait passer pour une Sultane de la Famille Imp\u00e9riale ottomane depuis des ann\u00e9es. <\/span>
L\u2019histoire de l\u2019imposture de Nadine Dawson \u00e9tait d\u00e9j\u00e0 ancienne. Il y a presque quinze ans de cela, ap\u00e8s un article paru dans Point de Vue Images du Monde, o\u00f9 un certain Serge Arabian se faisait passer pour le prince Selim\u2026.\u201d <\/span>
Page 184: <\/span>
\u201c\u2026Ce ne fut d\u2019ailleurs pas le seul cas. Une journaliste, qui travaillait pour le magazine l\u2019Illustr\u00e9, Shadya Ghemati, voulait aussi se faire passer pour une \u201cauthentique princesse ottomane\u201d Cette fois-l\u00e0, le doyen d\u2019\u00e2ge de notre Famille le Beyzad\u00e9 \u00d6mer Nami, qui \u00e9tait juriste, s\u2019\u00e9tait charg\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9crire, \u00e0 notre demande, au magazine L\u2019Illust\u00e9, un d\u00e9menti pour que l\u2019on cesse d\u2019imprimer de telles b\u00eatises!\u2026.\u201d\u2014 UNQUOTE <\/span><\/span>
Too many erroneous statements and slanders in this book to report all of it here. <\/span>
Following is the translation in English of the above writing published in French by \u201cNilufer\u201d<\/span>
Translation of pages 182, 183, 184 of libelous writings by the author against (Mrs) Nadine Dawson and her family. Starting from: \u201c Nous allions donc, ma m\u00e8re et moi\u2026\u201d<\/span>
\u2014\u2014\u201cWe were going, my mother and I, amidst the gala\u2019s guests, greeting them, here and there, when Methaf Daouad, a friend [of ours] and manager general S.P.A. from the clinic La Prairie (well-known in Montreux), wished to introduce to us an Ottoman Sultana! I was very surprised because the only Sultanas, in Switzerland, to my knowledge, are S.A.I. Princess Nejla Ibrahim, who by the way had moved from \u201cde Pully\u201d to reside in Madrid, and myself! Was it S.A.I Princess Nejla that Methaf Daouad was speaking of? <\/span>
Not at all. For, instead of seeing my aunt Nejla, tall and slim, walking toward us, we saw, mom and myself, a blond person, quite stout, not very tall and dressed in a very gaudy outfit, that Methaf introduced to us, and in these terms: \u201chere is the princess Karina!\u201d.<\/span><\/span>
Immediately, my mother and I submitted her to an intensive cross-examination, in spite of the cocktail-party that was in full swing, and lots of noise around. <\/span>
Very embarrassed, the so-called \u2018princess\u2019 was trying to dodge our questions. She could not remember neither the name of her father nor grandfather<\/span> and finally she proposed to go find her mother, who, could answer to all our questions. <\/span>
\u201cVery well, go find your mother and tell her that the princess Nilufer Sultana would like to meet her\u201d. <\/span>
Completely mortified, she took to her heels!. We did not see her for the remaining of the evening! Some of our friends, Badoux, who were rejoining us, asked us in laughting: \u201cWho was that?\u201d <\/span>
Again one of these impostors! We replied, not thinking to be true! <\/span>
We were right, it was, in fact, the daughter of the famous madame Nadine Dawson <\/span>who passed herself for a Sultana of the Ottoman Imperial Family for years. <\/span>
The story of the imposture of Nadine Dawson was already ancient. There are nearly 15 years of that, after an article published in \u201cPoint de Vue Images du Monde\u201d, where a certain Serge Arabian<\/span> was claiming to be prince Selim,\u2026\u201d <\/span>
Incidentally, this was not the only case.<\/span> A journalist who worked for the magazine Illustre, Shadya Ghemati,<\/span> tried also to pass for \u2018an authentic Ottoman princess\u201d. There also, the doyen of our Family, Beyzade Omer Nami, who is a jurist, took upon himself to write, upon our request, to the magazine Illustre, a denial so as to stop the printing of such stupidities. There were others.\u201d\u2014\u2014 <\/span>
This is the second time (to my knowledge) that our identity is being used in order to spread false rumors. The Turkish journalist, Murat Bardak\u00e7i ( a friend of this Nilufer) STAGED an interview with a man proclaiming falsely to be my Father under the Armenian name of \u201cARABIAN\u201d (see below his article verbatim in Turkish, and English translation). Not only my Father has never given an interview to Mr. Bardak\u00e7i, but his name has never been Arabian, but always Selim bin Hamid Han. <\/span>Much later ( around the early 30\u2019s), while in exile, the name \u201cArabi\u201d was added to be used as a last name. This was due to the translation of the Ottoman word i rabi (meaning the fourth, since Prince Selim was the fourth Crown Prince by that name or Selim i rabi) into the name of the Sufi philosopher, Arabi. The identity of my father is well documented, both by official papers and by photographs. <\/span>
Article Verbatim in Turkish of Murat Bardakci: <\/span>

Recapitulation in English of the above article: <\/span>
In the above article, Mr. Bardak\u00e7i claimed that I had contacted him <\/span>by telephone from the US, and that I had stated that I was a professional fortune-teller, and at the same time had arranged a meeting between him and my father. <\/span>He claimed that the ensuing interview had occurred in the outskirts of Paris, at the residence of my pseudo-father. Murad Bardak\u00e7i reported that this gentleman gave his name as \u201cSehzade-I Civan Baht\u201d, and was the son of Mr. Arapyan. <\/span>He also said that he was an Ottoman Armenian,<\/span> with no pretension to the House of Osman, and had been an antique dealer trading between Istanbul and Cairo. The story went on to say that \u201cSehzade-I-Civan-Baht\u201d confided that his daughter (supposedly me) was of unsound mind.<\/span> To sum up, the story\u2019s aim, through the proliferation of false rumors, was to influence public opinion and perhaps also confuse members of the Ottoman Family. <\/span>
The libelous story was an instant success; it spread like wildfire. <\/span>
AGAIN, I AM STATING THAT NOT ONLY I AM NOT A FORTUNE TELLER, BUT MY FATHER NEVER MET OR GIVEN AN INTERVIEW TO MR. MURAT BARDAKCI AND THAT THE NAME OF MY FATHER HAS NEVER BEEN ARABIAN BUT SELIM BIN HAMID HAN AS CONFIRMED BY ALL OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION. <\/span>
Mr. Bardak\u00e7i carries on still the propagation of his lies with the confidence that I shall not be aware of his writings since I reside in the USA, and, that alas I have forgotten the Turkish language of my childhood. <\/span>
The \u201cArmenian theme\u201d<\/span> is an obsession as well as a favorite subject of these detractors of Sultan Abd\u00fclhamid II and some of his descendants; one wonders why? <\/span>
Both Murat Bardakci and \u201cNilufer\u201d used the example of Paul Fesh, but they went even further in order to deceive their listeners\/readers. <\/span>
In the case of \u201cNilufer\u201d SHE STOLE THE IDENTITY OF MY DAUGHTER IN ORDER TO PRESENT HER FALSELY <\/span>AND IN A VERY BAD TASTE TO A LARGE GATHERING IN A FUND RAISING GALA IN MONTREUX, SWITZERLAND. Thus, the persons (in these events) who thought in all innocence that they met us, shall perpetuate her lies and discredit us further. <\/span>
This was probably the same aim with the journalist Murat Bardakci who Staged an interview with a man claiming falsely to be my father!! <\/span><\/span>
Similar plots were used during the Ottoman Empire against the Ottoman Family, and in particular against Padishah Abdulhamid II, so as to discredit their integrity. Why against some members rather than others? For the same reason that it was done against Padishah Abdulhamid II rather than his brothers: his qualities and competence were obstacles to the greed and ambitions of a few, both within and outside the Empire as well as family members in the Palace itself. Today the motives are much more crude. <\/span>
Against the late Padishah Abdulhamid II, one of the many slanderous rumors had it that Sultan Abdulhamid II was an Armenian and an impostor.<\/span> This incredible tale was told, not by a common journalist of no status, but by no less than a respected scholar and diplomat, Paul Fesh, who published in 1907 a book in which he states: <\/span>
Quote: <\/span>\u2014\u201cOn s\u2019\u00e9tonne de ne d\u00e9couvrir, dans Abdul-Hamid, aucune des qualit\u00e9s morales ou des pr\u00e9dispositions physiques d\u2019Abdul-Medjid. Tandis que ses fr\u00e8res et soeurs tiendraient plus ou moins de leur p\u00e8re, sous un rapport ou sous un autre, lui n\u2019a rien, absolument rien. Le fait est explicable si l\u2019on ajoute cr\u00e9ance au r\u00e9cit suivant que nous tenons d\u2019une personne g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement bien renseign\u00e9e. Selon un usage ancien Abdul-Medjid acceptait parfois les invitations des chefs des communaut\u00e9s non musulmanes. On le traitait en grand seigneur, par des d\u00eeners et des divertissements somptueux, apr\u00e8s quoi on lui offrait une jeune fille vierge, qui, si une conception suivait ces relations passag\u00e8res, entrait au harem imp\u00e9rial en qualit\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9pouse. Or, certain jour, Abdul-Medjid se rendit chez un haut personnage Arm\u00e9nien <\/span>o\u00f9 on le re\u00e7ut avec le c\u00e9r\u00e9monial consacr\u00e9. Un mois plus tard, la jeune fille qui lui avait \u00e9t\u00e9 offerte, ayant \u00e9t\u00e9 jug\u00e9e en \u00e9tat de grossesse, fut admise au harem. Mais il fut prouv\u00e9 peu apr\u00e8s que la grossesse \u00e9tait ant\u00e9rieure au jour o\u00f9 Abdul-Medjid la connut, au sens latin du mot.<\/span> Celui-ci le sut-il par indiscr\u00e9tion ou l\u2019apprit-il de l\u2019infortun\u00e9e jeune Arm\u00e9nienne, prise de remords ? Q\u2019importe ! Par bont\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e2me, cependant, et pour \u00e9viter un scandale, il garda la m\u00e8re, dans l\u2019espoir que peut-\u00eatre elle donnerait le jour a une fille. Ce fut un fils qui naquit, et l\u2019on comprend ainsi le geste de douloureuse col\u00e8re que ne put maitriser Abdul-Mejid en apprenant cette naissance. Il pr\u00e9vit, d\u00e8s lors, et pr\u00e9dit que ce fils r\u00e9gnerait, mais que ce serait pour le malheur de la Turquie.<\/span> Certains philosophes verraient ainsi dans ce fait l\u2019explication de la haine que, de tout temps, Abdulhamid a t\u00e9moign\u00e9 envers les Arm\u00e9niens.\u201d – Unquote <\/span><\/span>
Following is the translation of the above passage: <\/span><\/span>
QUOTE:\u2014\u201cWe are surprised to find in Abdulhamid none of the moral qualities or physical characteristics of Abdul-Mejid. While his brothers and sisters resemble more or less their father in one trait or another, he [Abdulhamid] has absolutely none [resemblance]. This fact is easily explained, if we consider the following story, made known to us by a relatively well-informed person. Following an old custom, Abdul-Mejid sometimes accepted invitations given by leaders of non-Moslem communities. He was treated as a great lord, with sumptuous meals and entertainment, followed by the offering of a young virgin, who, should she become pregnant after these temporary encounters, would enter the imperial harem as a spouse. One day, Abdul-Medjid was invited by a high ranking Armenian <\/span>who received him with the usual pomp. One month later, the young girl who had been offered him having been pronounced pregnant was admitted to the harem. Soon after, it was proven that the girl had been pregnant before her encounters with Abdul-Medjid. <\/span>Did Abdul-Medjid learn this by indiscretion or from the unfortunate and repentant young Armenian herself? Never mind! Out of kindness and also to avoid a scandal, he [Abdul-Mejid] kept the [future] mother in the hope perhaps that the child might be a girl. Instead, a son was born, which makes it easy to understand Abdul-Mejid\u2019s inability to repress a gesture of anguished wrath on learning of this birth. He foresaw, right then, and predicted that this son would reign, but that it would be for the misfortune of Turkey. <\/span>Some philosophers would see in this explanation the source of the hatred that Abdul-Hamid has always shown towards Armenians\u201d.\u2014 UNQUOTE <\/span>
Below are a couple of photographs representing a child \u201ca little girl\u201d that the author, Nilufer would like us to believe are pictures of the Ottoman Prince Burhaneddin Djem, that she claims is her father. I let the readers draw their own conclusions!! In comparison see the photograph of my Father, Prince Selim i rabi bin Hamid Han, taken in 1909 at the palace, in the Family Album of this site. I think it is obvious who is a true Ottoman Prince!! <\/span>
The photograph below of \u201ca little girl\u201d was published in \u201cNilufer\u2019s\u201d book with the caption: quote \u2014 \u201cLe P\u00e8re de la princesse Nilufer, SAI le prince Burhaneddin Djem, dans son palais avant l\u2019 exil \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 4 ans.\u201d\u2014unquote <\/span><\/p>\n
