Middle East Unit: Reading and Questions Part 1: Introduction Located at the Junction of Three Continents—Europe,
Middle East Unit: Reading and Questions Part 1: Introduction Located at the junction of three continents—Europe, Asia, and Africa—the region known as the Middle East has historically been a crossroads for conquerors, peoples, trade, and ideas as well as a transition zone for political and cultural interaction. Today the Middle East’s strategic location as a tricontinental hub, its vast petroleum reserves, its importance to Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike, and its many political disputes give it a global significance out of proportion to its size. The Middle East is a culturally, politically, and economically diverse region that extends for some 5,000 miles (8,000 kilometers) from west to east and some 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) from north to south. It is made up of several countries located on or near the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Although definitions vary, it is generally understood to encompass Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank, Iran, Iraq, and the Arabian Peninsula, which comprises Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait. The part of the region closest to Europe formerly was known as the Near East, and some agencies still use that term instead of the Middle East to describe the entire region. 1. What are the 3 continents that house the “Middle East”? 2. What are they known for? 3. Label your map with the countries and bodies of waters in this text. Color the waters blue and the countries each a different color. -

A total of 167 moss taxa (belonging to 80 genera and 33 families) were recorded within the study area. Among these, 3 species [Dicranella schreberiana (Hedw.) Dixon, Dicranodontium asperulum (Mitt.) Broth., and Campylopus pyriformis (Schultz) Brid.] are new records from the investigated area for the moss flora of Turkey. The research area is located in the A4 and A5 squares in the grid system adopted by Henderson in 1961. In the A5 grid-square 127 taxa were recorded as new records, and 1 taxon [Anomodon longifolius (Schleich. ex Brid.) Hartm.] was recorded for the second time in Turkey.

While the economic and security dimensions of Turkey’s role in the region have been amply addressed, its cross-border ties with societies in the Caucasus remain under-researched. This issue of the Cauca- sus Analytical Digest illustrates inter-societal relations between Turkey and the three South Caucasus states of Arme- nia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, as well as with the de-facto state of Abkhazia, through the prism of NGO and diaspora contacts. Although this approach is by necessity selective, each of the four articles describes an important segment of transboundary societal relations between Turkey and the Caucasus. -

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin İlk Genel Nüfus Sayımında Ardahan Vilâyeti
Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin İlk Genel Nüfus Sayımında Ardahan Vilâyeti’nin Nüfus Özellikleri The Population Characteristics of Ardahan Province in the First General Census of the Turkish Republic Oğuz ŞİMŞEK* Özet Bu çalışmada, Ardahan ilinin, Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk genel nüfus sayımı olan 1927 Genel Nüfus Sayımı’ndaki nüfus özellikleri ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın giriş bölü- münde 1927 Genel Nüfus Sayımı’ndan önceki dönemlerde Ardahan Vilâyeti’nin nüfusu ve nüfus özellikleri kısaca değinilmiştir. Çalışmanın asıl bölümünde ise, 28 Ekim 1927’de yapılan ilk genel nüfus sayımı sonuçlarına dayanılarak, Ardahan Vilâ- yeti’nin genel nüfusu ve cinsiyet itibariyle nüfusu incelenmiştir. Sonraki bölümlerde ise sırasıyla; yaş grupları itibariyle, medenî hale göre, okur-yazarlık durumuna göre, doğum yerleri bakımından, ekonomik faaliyet kolları itibariyle, anadile göre, sakatlık- lar temel alınarak, Ardahan Vilâyeti’nin nüfus yapısı hakkında bilgiler verilmiştir. Bu çalışma ile Ardahan ilinin Rus işgalinde kaldığı dönem ile Cumhuriyetin ilanından sonra yapılan ilk nüfus sayımı arasındaki nüfus özellikleri ve demografik yapısı ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.

A New Species of Critically Endangered Edible Yam Endemic to Northern Madagascar, Dioscorea Irodensis (Dioscoreaceae) and Its Conservation
KEW BULLETIN (2017) 72:15 ISSN: 0075-5974 (print) DOI 10.1007/S12225-017-9677-6 ISSN: 1874-933X (electronic) A new species of critically endangered edible yam endemic to northern Madagascar, Dioscorea irodensis (Dioscoreaceae) and its conservation Paul Wilkin1 , James A. Kennerley2, Mamy Tiana Rajaonah3, Geodain Meva Huckël4, Feno Rakotoarison4, Tianjanahary Randriamboavonjy3 & Stuart Cable1 Summary. Morphological character data are used to show that a distinct morphotype of Dioscorea L. from the Irodo valley (East of Sadjoavato) in Antsiranana Province of Madagascar is an undescribed species, differing in its leaf arrangement, pubescence form and male inflorescence structure from all other taxa. It is described as Dioscorea irodensis Wilkin, Rajaonah & Randriamb., illustrated and a distribution map and ecological information provided. It is known from three sites, but is likely to have been eradicated from one of them. The population that has been studied in the field contains a very low number of adult plants. Tubers have been extracted for use as food at a level that appears to be unsustainable. Thus its provisional IUCN conservation status assessment is that it is critically endangered (CR). Its vernacular name in Irodo is Bemandry. Famintinana. Ny toetra sy ny bikan’ny oviala dia azo ampiasaina hanehoana fa miavaka ny oviala iray, izay hita tao anatin’ny lohasahan’Irodo (Atsinanan’i Sadjoavato, faritanin’Antsiranana) ao Avaratr’i Madagasikara, ary tsy mbola voasoritra ny mombamomba azy.

The church is dedicated to Gregory the Theologian who is the Cappadocian father of the church in the fourth century.

Hagios Gregorios Theologos church was suffered important interventions after the date he’s erected in 385. The building was used till the migration in 1924 and then was converted to a mosque. Situated in a region known with his rock-cut architecture, the building differs with his construction of masonry and maintain tradition of built architecture. It distinguished by the qualified use of the harder volcanic stone. In this paper, the planning and the structure analysis of Hagios Gregorios Theologos church is aimed to be presented.

The changes which have occured in the profile and tendency of the customers, force the tourism sector inevi- tably to improve the products according to the demand’s needs. In order to meet the needs and expectations of the customers and changed features of the demands, it is necessary to improve new tourism types in the different fields. Interesting tourism products and services are showed as the alternative of the mass tourism and reflect the whole tendencies which have improved to satisfy different and special interest beyond the interest which have improved around sea, sun and sand. So, improving interesting tourism products and services become very im- portant. One of the interesting tourism products and services (especially for the cultural tourism) is the tradi- tional Turkish Bath (Turkish Hamam) which have been to be transferred from the past to the present. The tradi- tional Turkish Bath (Hamam) is the variant of a steam bath, which can be categorized as a wet relative of the sauna. The Turkish Baths have played an important role in cultures of the Turkey, serving as places of social gathering, ritual cleansing, and as architectural structures, institutions, and (later) elements with special cus- toms attached to them.
