Background

Feyyaz' father Muhtar Berker was an ophthalmologist in Mersin who was elected to Grand National Assembly of Turkey in 1939 as İçel deputy. When his family moved to Ankara, Feyyaz had transferred to Robert College of Istanbul, from Tarsus American College. In 1946, he graduated from Robert College with a diploma in civil engineering and moved to the United States for a master's degree at University of Michigan.
