Ottoman Greek academic and statesman

Costaki Anthopoulos (Greek: Κωστάκης Ανθόπουλος, Turkish: Kostaki Antopulos Paşa; 1835–1902), was an Ottoman Greek academic and statesman.

Life

He became a professor at the Ottoman Naval Academy; then entered the legal branch of the Turkish service, rising to the post of imperial procurator at the court of c*ation. He was governor-general of Crete; and, in 1895, was appointed Ottoman amb*ador in London, a post which he continued to hold until his death at Constantinople in 1902.

He bore throughout his career the reputation of an intelligent and upright public servant.

In June 1902, the Sultan conferred on him the decoration Nisan-i Iftihar (Order of Glory) in diamonds, in recognition of the loyal services rendered by him to the Ottoman Empire.
