Family lifeShe was born 1977 in Istanbul.[1] After completing her secondary education at the French high school Lycée Notre Dame de Sion Istanbul, she received a degree in law at Galatasaray University, and then took a master's degree from Istanbul Bilgi University. She began her professional career working in a law firm and serving as a lawyer for the minority foundations. She is married and has two children.[1] Politician careerSelina Özuzun Doğan was nominated as a candidate for the June 2015 general election by the Republican People's Party (CHP).[4][5] Upon agreeing with the proposal of minority groups to have a representative in the parliament, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, leader of CHP, put her name on the first place of the party's candidate list for Istanbul 2nd Constituency.[1] On June 7, 2015, she was elected into the parliament,[8] and became so the first Armenian members of the Grand National Assembly in decades alongside Garo Paylan (HDP) and Markar Esayan (AKP).[9][10] Apart from Hermine Kalustyan, who served six months in the Constituent Assembly of Turkey ({{lang-tr|Kurucu Meclis}}) after her appointment by the military junta following the 1960 Turkish coup d'état, Özuzun Doğan is the only female Armenian member of the parliament in the history of Turkish politics.[8] She was not re-nominated as a CHP candidate for the 2018 Elections.[1] References1. ^http://www.milliyet.com.tr/vekilsiz-35-il-sil-bastan-siyaset-2674307/
