Dr. Agop Handanyan was an Ottoman physician of Armenian descent, born in 1834 in Diyarbakir and died in Istanbul on 30 October 1899. The source describes him as a respected physician, writer, translator and professor, and as the author of the first book on forensic science in Ottoman Turkey. His career therefore combined clinical medicine with teaching, translation and authorship. The lead gives no further detail on his training or posts, so none is asserted here.
