Kázím Abdulakim (also transliterated in Romanian as: Kiazim Abdulachim, Kiazim Abdulakim or Chiazim Abdulachim) was a Crimean Tatar hero of the Romanian Army who lost his life in the summer of 1917 during the Battle of Mărășești during World War I.[1][2]
Second Lieutenant Kázím Abdulakim was the brother of lawyer Selim Abdulakim who, between the two wars, became a leading politician of the Crimean Tatars in Romania, Deputy Mayor of Constanța and a Member of the Romanian Parliament.[1] Kázím's sister Șefika, also known as Sapiye, was the wife of the beloved Crimean Tatar poet Memet Niyaziy.[1][3]
As recognition of his extreme devotion to duty and his ultimate sacrifice, in Dobruja the Second Lieutenant Kázím Abdulakim Cultural and Sports Association was founded,[4] and a street in downtown Constanța[5][6] was named in Kázím's honor.
