Muhammed Ambar

The martyr Muhammed Ambar served his military service fighting terrorists in the southeast of Turkey. Ambar went to the Bosphorus Bridge without any hesitation on the night of the coup attempt. He resisted against FETÖ terrorists. He called everyone he knew on the night of the event and said, “What are you doing at home?! Go out.” Ambar never saw his family again after he left his house that night.

Muhammed Ambar, who was a 39 year old tradesman from Rize, was married with 2 children. He graduated from Bakırköy İmam Hatip High School. Ambar was very interested in nature, travelling and taking photographs. He spent his childhood in the lush greens bordering the Black Sea. Ambar wanted to visit Rize again in August.
