Mavi Boncuk | As Turkish Government  talks about a ‘tezkere’ to authorize military action in Syria we can look at the word in another ‘Word Origins.”
There is a difference between 'tezkere' and 'muhtira.'  The first is a reminder the other a warning. So one should not use these words interchangeably.  


On the other hand Andıç c.1935 created as a new Turkish word with an indeterminate etymology, can be used in any odd way since it has no historic meaning or interpretation. We can speculate the part of 'And' TR, sworn promise EN which adds to it's silliness altogether.

Tezkere: First mentioned in Saraylı Seyf, Gülistan translation[1391], ed. in Toparlı et. al. KTS. from AR takīra ͭتذكيرة, Andıç NewTR (Indeterminate etymology) , muhtıra TR, memorandum  EN[1]

Muhtıra:  ihtar pusulası, memorandum from ARr muχṭir مخطر  ihtar eden, uyaran TR from AR aχṭara إخطر uyardı → hatır TR, warned EN
