Toponimys with Ancient Turk Origins in the Balkans
IBAC 2012 vol.2 TOPONIMYS WITH ANCIENT TURK ORIGINS IN THE BALKANS Prof .Ass. Hajiyeva GALIBA Nakhchivan State Univresity, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract One of the sources dealing with the ancient Turkic history are toponyms. Toponymic investigations show that most of the ancient geographical names which have spread in Eurosia, in Central Asia, from North Africa, to Eastern Turkistan even in Siberia and these names were formed before Roman and Byzantine periods. So development of toponymic investigations, study of the history of Turkic peoples and scientific investigation of existing geographical names which keep the history of Turkic peoples have great significance. One of the uninvestigated fields of the Turkic history are geographical names keeping historical facts within are the holy Balkan areas. The toponymic investigations carried on the Balkans show that these territories are the places were the ancient Turkic tribes were firstly settled and possessed. This fact is proved by the Turkic tribe names and by the words of different semantic meaning of the languages of Turkic tribes. The great deal of Balkan geographical names are the names derived out of ethnoniyms thus the names reflecting ancient Turkic tribe names (Astipos//Astepe//Ishtip, Izletdere, Vardar, Sofular, Gilan, Sahsuvar kariyesi, Kosalar village, Tatarli kariyesi, in the Kosova, Uskup, Usturumca, Kumanova, Propishtip, Kochana, Makedonska Kamenika in Makedony, Araz district, Arazli, Azman, Cepine, Coban, Chorlu, Culfalar, Horozlar, Kangirlar, Sakarli, Sungurlar, Karuk, Kaspi, Kaz//Kas, Kazancilar, Kecililer, Kuman, Padarlar, Sofular, Tatar, Uzlar in Bulgaria) show that Balkans historically were Turkic areas. Geographical names are the real witnesses of history. We must pay great attention to the scientific investigations of the geographical names in Balkan states. -
The Case of Romanian in Kazakhstan)
International Journal of Innovation and Research in Educational Sciences Volume 7, Issue 2, ISSN (Online) : 2349–5219 The Role of Etymology in Second Language Acquisition (The Case of Romanian in Kazakhstan) Dr. Nicolae Stanciu Research center "Discourse theory and Practice", "Dunarea de Jos (Lower Danube) " University of Galati, Institute of Romanian Language, Bucharest, Romania, Buketov Karaganda State University, Kazakhstan. Date of publication (dd/mm/yyyy): 05/05/2020 Abstract – Extensive research has shown great interest in the origins and evolution of Turkic cultures and languages underlying the importance of history, language and religion in building the ethnicity of different nations in Eastern Europe. However, less attention was paid to semantic convergences, divergences and evolutions of lexical items in the conceptual metaphors and phrases recovered in Romanian culture through Turkish and other south slavic intermediaries. Accidentally encountered in etymological dictionaries and studies, the Turkic elements have not benefited yet from a multidisciplinary research meant to point out the lines of continuity between old Turkic (Pechenges, Cuman and Tatar), those of Ottoman Turkish and their reverberations in Romanian language. In fact, words almost exclusively labelled as Turkish or those with unknown and multiple etymology, preserved in Romanian as relics found in various stylistically registers (academic, archaic, colloquial, popular, regional) as well as in anthroponomy and toponymy, have been recovered in the folklore and literature of the 19th to the 21st centuries. These have been found disguised in metaphorical expressions and symbols considered relevant for the spirituality of this multicultural space. Integrated into an evolution perspective, the concepts and metaphors analysed and interpreted within this article belong to extended cultural areas, and use symbols common to extremely various linguistic groups. -

Acipenser Nudiventris Lovetzky, 1828 Ship Sturgeon Esturgeon À Barbillons Frangés Esturión Barba De Flecos
Acipenser nudiventris Lovetzky, 1828 Ship Sturgeon Esturgeon à barbillons frangés Esturión barba de flecos Order: ACIPENSERIFORMES Family: ACIPENSERIDAE SUMMARY The Ship Sturgeon Acipenser nudiventris has always been rare in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov and their tributaries. There were originally two isolated populations in the northern Caspian Sea, but only the Ural River population is thought to exist today. In Iran (southern Caspian Sea), the species is known to migrate in several rivers. Its former range in the Danube River included Austria and Slovakia. Most range States reported that their wild populations are currently low. Restocking programmes are carried out in Azerbaijan, Iran, and Kazakhstan, but although the species has been in captivity for 60 years, broodstock is currently difficult to obtain. The species is rarely raised in captivity and there is no recorded international trade in products from aquaculture. Of all range States, only Iran, Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation authorise commercial catch of the species. During the past decade, annual catches of A. nudiventris have increased in Iran (from 1.9 tonnes (t) in 1990 to 3.5 t in 2000) and in Kazakhstan (from 12 t in 1990 to 23.8 t in 2000). International trade in 1998 totalled 1,156 kg of A. nudiventris caviar imports comprising: 1,004 kg from Iran, 87 kg from Kazakhstan, and 65 kg from the Russian Federation, 42% of which was declared as pre-Convention stock. No export quotas were established for specimens of A. nudiventris for 1998. Caviar export quotas set by range States increased for Kazakhstan from 1,500 kg for 1999 to 2,000 kg for 2000. -

B Babol – a city located 25 km from the Caspian Sea on the east–west road connecting the coastal provinces of Gilan and Mazandaran. Founded in the sixteenth century, it was once a heavy-duty river port. Since the early nineteenth century, it has been one of the major cities in the province. Ruins of some ancient buildings are found here. Food and cotton ginning factories are also located here. The population is over 283 thou as of 2006. Babol – a river flowing into the Caspian Sea near Babolsar. It originates in the Savadhuk Mountains and is one of the major rivers in Iran. Its watershed is 1,630 km2, its length is 78 km, and its width is about 50–60 m at its mouth down to 100 m upstream. Its average discharge is 16 m3/s.

Late Quaternary Caspian: Sea-Levels, Environments and Human Settlement P.M
The Open Geography Journal, 2009, 2, 1-15 1 Open Access Late Quaternary Caspian: Sea-Levels, Environments and Human Settlement P.M. Dolukhanov*,1, A.L. Chepalyga2, V.K. Shkatova3 and N.V. Lavrentiev2 1School of Historical Studies, Newcastle University, UK 2Institute of Geography, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia 3A.P. Karpinsky Russian Geological Research Institute (VSEGEI), St. Petersburg, Russia Abstract: This paper is focused on the discussion of the exact age, and environmental setting of the ‘Khvalynian’ Trans- gression of the Caspian Sea with the use of novel radiometric, isotopic evidence and GIS-linked modelling. Based on this evidence the Khvalynian transgression is viewed as coeval with the warm Late Glacial episodes in the higher latitudes, reaching its peak at 13.6 - 11.8 ka. During that period the Caspian Sea was connected with the Caspian Sea via the ‘Ma- nych-Kerch-Spillway’ north of the Caucasus Mountains. We also suggest a younger age for Mousterian sites in the Cas- pian basin, which are usually associated with the populations of Neanderthal humans. The initial emergence of Mouste- rian industries in this area was broadly contemporaneous with MOI 3 that included the LGM (25-18 ka). Their expansion was largely coeval with the Khvalynian transgression. Keywords: Caspian Sea, Late Pleistocene, Khvalynian Transgression, Mousterian, Neanderthals.
