Kuzey-güney ve doğu-batı yollarının birleştiği bölgede olması nedeniyle etnik açıdan farklı kavimlerin uğrak yeri olmuştur. Türkler, Kafkasya’ya ana yurtları olan Asya’dan gelmişlerdir. Kafkasya bölgesinde M.Ö.4000’lere tarihlenen bozkır kültürünü temsil eden kurganların Asya’dan gelen göçerler tarafından oluşturulduklarına dair çalışmalar yapılmıştır. M.Ö.2000’lere gelindiğinde Proto-Türk olarak kabul edilen kabilelerin Kafkasya bölgesine geldikleri ve miladın başlarına kadar burada hâkim oldukları görülmüştür. Kronolojik olarak bakıldığında M.Ö.2000 yıllarının başlarından M.Ö.8. yy’a kadar Kimmerlerin, M.Ö.8. yy’dan M.Ö.2.yy’la kadar İskitlerin, sonrasında ise Sarmatların aynı coğrafyada varlıkları tespit edilmiştir. Milatın başlangıcından itibaren sırasıylaAlan, Hun, Bulgar, Sabir, Avar, Göktürk Türk kavimlerinin varlığı, miladın yedinci yüzyılına gelindiğinde ise Hazar devletinin Kafkasya’da kurulduğu görülmektedir. 10. yy’a gelindiğinde Hazar Devleti gücünü kaybedince Türkler burada zayıflıyor. 11. yy başlarından itibaren ise Kıpçakların etkili olmamakla birlikte varlıklarının tespit edilmesinin yanı sıra asıl güç olarak Selçukluları görmekteyiz. III Bunlar 1010 yıllarından itibaren Kafkasya akınlarına başlayıp 1071’e kadar da devam etmişlerdir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Kafkasya, Kimmer, İskit, Sarmat, Alan, Hun, Bulgar, Sabir, Avar, Göktürk, Hazar, Kıpçak, Selçuk, Türk. IV ABSTRACT Doctorate Thesis Turkish existence in Caucasus before Malazgirt Zekiye TUNÇ Fırat University Institute of Social Sciences Department of History General Turkish History Elaziğ – 2012, Page: XVI+176 Caucasia is the name of the region that lies between Black Sea and Caspian Sea in the east-west parallel and its elevation exceeds five thousand meters in the middle sections. It was a frequented place for tribes that have different ethnic features, since it is located in a region where north-south and east-west routes join with each other. Turks have come to Caucasia from their homeland Asia. Studies have been made which show that cairns representing moorland culture and dated to B.C.4000 are constituted by migrants coming from Asia. It is seen that in B.C.2000 tribes accepted as Proto-Turk came to Caucasia and predominated the land till the beginning of the milestone. Chronologically existence of Cimmerians from the beginning of B.C.2000 till B.C. 8th century, and Scythians from B.C.8th century till B.C.2nd century and later on existence of Sarmatians are determined. Existence of Turkish tribes being Alans, Huns, Bulgars, Sabirs, Avars, and Gokturks in chronological order is observed starting from the beginning of the milestone, and it is seen that Khazar Empire is established in Caucasia in the A.D. seventh century. Turks began to fall into decline when Khazar Empire started to lose power in the 10th century. We see Seljukians as the major power besides the existence of Kipchaks starting from the beginning of 11th century, even though they are not so influential. They started raids to Caucasia starting from 1010’s and continued until 1071. Key Words: Caucasia, Cimmerians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Alans, Huns, Bulgars, Sabirs, Avars, Gokturks, Khazars, Kipchaks, Seljukians, Turks.

    HAZAR TÜRKÇESİ VE HAZAR TÜRKÇESİ LEKSİKOLOJİ TESPİTİ DENEMESİ Pınar Özdemir* Özet Eski Türkçenin diyalektleri arasında sayılan Hazar Türkçesi ma- alesef ardında yazılı eserler bırakmamıştır. Çalışmamızda bilinenden bilinmeyene metoduyla hareket ede- rek ilk önce mevcut Hazar Türkçesine ait kelimeleri derleyip, ortak özelliklerini tespit edip, mihenk taşlarımızı oluşturduk. Daha sonra Hazar Devleti’nin yaşadığı coğrafyada bu gün yaşayan Türk hak- larının dillerinden Karaçay-Malkar, Karaim, Kırımçak ve Kumuk Türkçelerinin ortak kelimelerini tespit ettik. Bu ortak kelimelerin de leksik ve morfolojik özelliklerini belirledikten sonra birbirleriyle karşılaştırıp aralarındaki uyumu göz önüne sererek Hazar Türkçesi Leksikoloji Tespitini denedik. Anahtar Kelimeler : Hazar, Karaçay-Malkar, Karaim, Kırımçak, Kumuk AbstraCt Unfortunately there is not left any written works behind Khazar Turkish which is deemed to be one of the dialects of old Turkish. In our work primarily key voices, forms and the words of Khazar Turkish have been determined with respect to the features of voice and forms of the existing words remaining from that period. Apart from these determined key features it have been determined the mu- tual aspects of Karachay-Malkar, Karaim, Krymchak and Kumuk Turkish which are known as the remnants of Khazar and it has been intended to reveal the vocabulary of Khazar Turkish. Key Words : Khazar, Karachay-Malkar, Karaim, Kırımchak, Ku- muk Önceleri Göktürk Devletine bağlı olan Hazar Hakanlığı bu devletin iç ve dış savaşlar neticesinde yıkıldığı 630–650 yılları arasındaki süreçte devlet olma temellerini atmıştır.

  • KHAZAR TURKIC GHULÂMS in CALIPHAL SERVICE1 Arab
    KHAZAR TURKIC GHULÂMS IN CALIPHAL SERVICE1 BY PETER B. GOLDEN Arab — Khazar relations, in particular their military confrontations for control of the Caucasus, have long been the subject of investigation. As a consequence of that sustained period of military encounters, the Khazars enjoyed a fierce reputation in the Islamic world. Thus, al-Balâd- hurî, in his comments on the massacre of some of the populace of MawÒil (Mosul) in the aftermath of the ‘Abbâsid takeover in 133/750, says that “because of their evil, the people of Mosul were called the Khazars of the Arabs.”2 Much less studied is one of the side-products of those wars: the presence of Khazars in the Caliphate itself. As with other peoples captured in warfare or taken or purchased on the periphery of the Caliphate, the Khazars in the Islamic heartlands were largely, but not exclusively, used as professional military men, slave-soldiers of the Caliphs, usually termed ghilmân (sing. ghulâm, lit. “boy, servant, slave”3). The relationship of these aliens to the larger Arab and Arabized 1 I would like to thank Michael Bates and Matthew Gordon for their thoughtful read- ings of this paper.

The thirteenth tribe. The collapse of the Khazar Empire and its Heritage. Trans. from English. Kabalkina AY - SPb .: Publishing Group "Eurasia", 2001. - 320 p. Arthur Koestler found an original response to the ideology of anti- Semitism. According to him opinion, the fall of the Khazar khanate spawned several waves of migration, constituting the main core of the population professing Judaism in Eastern Europe. Since ethnic migrants from the Khazars were not Semites, it is untenable and anti-Semitism. Drawing on texts for Arab travelers ninth and tenth centuries. Byzantine sources, "Tale of Bygone Years", works Artamonov Kokovtsov Toynbee, Vernadsky, Dunlop, Kucera, Poles and many others historians, the author provides several different vision of the formation and collapse of Khazar state. Other accents becomes paradoxical at first view the choice of faith. A fascinating study of the history of the Khazar khanate, throughout its existence was under the cross countervailing pressure state, religious and political interest will not leave the reader indifferent, for history, for getting up Koestler pages of the book, does not tolerate indifference.

Russia Eternal: Recalling The Imperial Era In Late- And Post-Soviet Literature And Culture Abstract The return of Tsarist buildings, narratives and symbols has been a prominent facet of social life in post- Soviet Russia. My dissertation aims to explain this phenomenon and its meaning by tracking contemporary Russia’s cultural memory of the Imperial era. By close-reading both popular and influential cultural texts, as well as analyzing their conditions of production and reception, I show how three generations of Russian cultural elites from the 1950s until today have used Russia’s past to fight present- day political battles, and outline how the cultural memory of the Imperial epoch continues to inform post- Soviet Russian leaders and their mainstream detractors. Chapters One and Two situate the origin of Russian culture’s current engagement with the pre-Revolutionary era in the social dynamic following Stalin’s death in 1953.

  • Steppe Empires? the Khazars and the Volga Bulgars
    chapter 9 Steppe Empires? The Khazars and the Volga Bulgars Common opinion used to have it that the defeat by Charles Martel of a Muslim army near Tours in 733 or 734 was a decisive moment in world history marking the halting of the northward spread of Islam. Similarly, historians used to praise the Khazars for rescuing (Eastern) Europe from complete Islamization. The Khazars were believed to have blunted the Arab advance through the Caucasus Mountains and to have fought them to a standstill. Before the 13th or 14th cen- tury, Islam did not therefore move beyond the Caucasus range.1 The conversion of the Khazars to Judaism has also attracted attention, a lot more than any other event in their more than 200-year long history. To be sure, that conver- sion was not unique in history, if one thinks, for example, of the Yemenite Jews of 6th-century Himyar. But in a world obsessed with inventing traditions, the Khazars are now viewed as ancestors of the East European Jewry, of those who perished in the Holocaust and of some of those who founded the state of Israel in 1948.

    This page intentionally left blank Medieval Russia, 980–1584 This revised edition is a concise, yet comprehensive, narrative of the history of Russia from the reign of Vladimir I the Saint, through the reign of Ivan IV the Terrible. Supplementing the original edition with results of recently published scholarship as well as her own research, Janet Martin emphasizes the dynamics of Russia’s political evolution from the loose federation of principalities known as Kievan Rus through the era of Mongol domination to the development of the Muscovite state. Her analyses of the ruling dynasty and of economic influences on political development, and her explorations of society, foreign relations, religion, and culture provide a basis for understand- ing the transformations of the lands of Rus. Her lines of argument are clear and coherent; her conclusions and interpretations are provoca- tive. The result is an informative, accessible, up-to-date account that will be of interest to both students and specialists of early Rus. janet martin is Professor of History at the University of Miami.
