Wikipedia description:

Hüseyin Cemil Meriç (12 December 1916 – 13 June 1987) was a Turkish writer and translator who wrote various articles in social sciences and contributed to Turkish literature with his twelve books in the twentieth century. Meriç sharply criticized the Turkish Language Association's campaign aimed at purging the Turkish language of Middle Eastern impact, wherein he famously declared, "kamus namustur," arguing that the substitution of well-rooted vocabulary with an artificial language (uydurukça) cuts off generations from their cultural and literary heritage.
