"His articles were mostly blamed of being
unclear; but in fact they were samples of his delicacy that calculated the most
distant possibilities, answered all the holy questions full with many secondary
sentences, titles and implications. His articles were
dark for the average reader; but valuable and important for experts. Hakki
Tarik was a real investigator." (Peyami
Safa)
