About Nicolae Constantin Batzaria
- Nicolae Constantin Batzaria (Romanian pronunciation: [niko'la.e konstan'tin bat?sa'ri.a], last name also Besaria, Basarya, Ba?aria or Bazaria; also known under the pen names Mo? Nae, Mo? Ene and Ali Baba; November 20, 1874 – January 28, 1952), was a Macedonian-born Aromanian cultural activist, Ottoman statesman and Romanian writer.
- A schoolteacher and inspector of Aromanian education within Ottoman lands, he established his reputation as a journalist before 1908.
- During his thirties, he joined the clandestine revolutionary movement known as the Young Turks, serving as its liaison with Aromanian factions.
- The victorious Young Turk Revolution brought Batzaria to the forefront of Ottoman politics, ensuring him a seat in the Ottoman Senate, and he briefly served as Minister of Public Works under the Three Pashas.
- He was tasked with several diplomatic missions, including attending the London Conference of 1913, but, alerted by the Three Pashas' World War I alliances and the Young Turks' nationalism, he soon after quit the Ottoman political scene and left into voluntary exile. Batzaria eventually settled in Romania and became a prolific contributor to Romanian letters, producing works of genre fiction and children's literature.
- Together with comic strip artist Marin Iorda, he created Haplea, one of the most popular characters in early Romanian comics.
- Batzaria also collected and retold fairy tales from various folkloric traditions, while publishing original novels for adolescents and memoirs of his life in Macedonia.
- A member of the Romanian Senate for one term, he was active on the staff of Romania's leading left-wing journals, Adevarul and Diminea?a, as well as founder of the latter's supplement for children, before switching his allegiance to the right-wing Universul.
- Batzaria was persecuted and imprisoned by the communist regime, and spent his final years in obscure captivity.
