Haluk Baskinci (born Namik Haluk Baskinci, November 25, 1957 – June 28, 1995) was a Turkish architect, engineer and musician.
University years
After succeeding in the State University Entrance Test, Haluk attended the Istanbul Teknik Üniversitesi Mühendislik Fakültesi[1][not in citation given] (Technical University of Istanbul Engineering Faculty) in Istanbul in 1975. During his time at the university, he sympathized with Communism and Socialism. While Turkey was heading to an inevitable political crisis,[2] [not in citation given] which collapsed in the September 12 Coup in 1980, Haluk became active in several political student organizations such as DevSol ("The Revolutionary Left") and Dev-Yol ("The Revolutionary Path"). [not in citation given] Apart from his active role as editor for various pamphlets against the then-government, little is known about his position in these organizations.
Personal life
During the summer of 1976, Haluk met his future wife Sevinç Büyükçay (born September 6, 1959). She was raised in Germany and remained there until their wedding on April 18, 1981. After marrying Sevinç, Haluk had to attend his military service[3] [not in citation given] in Kars in 1983, where he was accidentally struck by lightning while repairing a telephone booth. After being reanimated, he had to spend several months in the military hospital of Erzurum before he was released from the Army and sent back home. Until his death in 1995, he suffered from a severe form of epilepsy. Though it was strictly forbidden, he started using alcohol as a form of medication to elude seizures.
He opened his first company "ToBa"[4] [not in citation given] in the early 1980s, collaborating with his former friend, whose surname's "To" (Toprak) was used in the company's name alongside Baskıncı's "Ba". Even though the company changed its format during the 1980s, which consequently led to the dismissal of his former partner, the company's name remained the same. Haluk then collaborated with his brother-in-law Timur Büyükçay – a computer programmer and IT-Specialist – until 1993. Timur founded his own IT-company "pro.sis[5]" [not in citation given] in 1993 and opted out of "ToBa". Haluk and Sevinc's marriage ended in the mid-nineties. The couple separated in 1993 and eventually got divorced in 1995. Their daughter, their only child, Dilara (*June 13, 1984) lived with Haluk until his death in 1995 and then moved to her mother Sevinç, who had already gone back to Germany. They both still live in Germany.
Death
Haluk died on June 28, 1995, as the victim of a murder and was buried in the Yildirim Mezarligi[6][not in citation given] in Edirne. Very little is known about the circumstances of his death. He was found dead in his apartment by his sister Süheyla and one of his then-friends. Haluk was stabbed to death and his murderer remains unknown.
