Selim Abdulakim (also transliterated in Romanian as: Selim Abdulachim; 1886–1943) known as the first Crimean Tatar lawyer in Romania was a leading politician of the Tatars in Romania, an activist for ethnic Tatar causes.[1][2][3][4][5]

Biography

Selim was born in 1886. He was the brother of Second Lieutenant Kázím Abdulakim, a World War I hero of the Romanian Army who lost his life during the Battle of Mărășești in 1917.[1][6] Selim's sister Şefika, also known as Sapiye, was the wife of the beloved Crimean Tatar poet Memet Niyaziy.[1] Selim was married to Sayide (also spelled in Romanian as Saide).

From 1911 he studied at the University of Bucharest's Law Faculty.[7] Between the two wars, Selim was president of the Muslim community in Constanța[8][./Selim_Abdulakim#cite_note-FOOTNOTELascu2013245–246-8 [8]] and Deputy Mayor of Constanța.[9] He was a deputy in the Parliament of Romania, where he defended the rights of the Muslims of Dobruja. He warned that as none of their wishes were taken into account, their emigration is a national threat.[10]

Selim loved to be of help and support for young people.[11] In 1929, he founded Selim Abdulakim Muslim Cultural Fund, a cultural association aimed at helping Muslim students from secondary schools and higher education, which had its office located in Constanța, at the corner of Ferdinand Avenue and Mircea cel Bătrân Street. [12]

Selim died on 28 March 1943 in Constanța.[5] He is resting in Constanța Muslim Central Cemetery at 44°10′23″N 28°37′20″E / 44.173120°N 28.622248°E / 44.173120; 28.622248. His wife, Sayide (1894–1967), rests in close proximity.
