Artuk Bey, originally a member of Ghuzz Tribe, was one of the prominent commanders of Alparslan, the Sultan of Great Seljuk Empire. As Artuk Bey left to serve for the Seljuk Empire army, he left a pregnant wife, Ay Hanım, who loved him deeply, behind. When their son İlgazi was born, she would free a dove, which she had devoted all her prayers to, to the blue sky to herald the birth. The design of the Alka Dove, which represents the birth, the life and hearing about good news now springs to life with Luna Merdin.
