DR. BÜNYAMİN SOLMAZ KIBRISLI TÜRKLERİN DİNİ YAŞAYIŞLARI ÜZERİNE Tezin Adı KARŞILAŞTIRMALI BİR ARAŞTIRMA (GÜZELYURT ÖRNEĞİ) Özet: Kıbrıslı Türkler adanın en kalabalık ikinci etnik grubudur. 1960 yılına kadar İngiliz Sömürgesi olan ada 1960 yılında Rum-Türk-İngiliz ortaklığında yeni bir cumhuriyetin temellerini atmıştır. Ancak bu yeni devlet çok uzun ömürlü olmamıştır. Rumların bitmek bilmez enosis düşüncesi yüzlerce yıldır beraber yaşadıkları Türk komşularını etnik kıyıma tabi tutmaya götürmüştür. Neticesinde Türkiye garantörlük hakkını kullanarak adaya müdahale etmiştir. II. Barış Harekatı sonrası ada bugünkü bölünmüş şeklini almıştır. Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti kurulmuş ve bağımsız bir Türk devleti olmuştur. Nitekim dünya bu devleti tanımak yerine bozguncu Güney Kıbrıs Rum Yönetimi’ne sınırsız haklar tanımaktadır. Türkiye ise ilk günden beri soydaşlarının yanında yer almaktadır. Yaptığımız bu çalışma II. Barış Harekatını başlangıç kabul edilerek Kıbrıslı Türklerde yaşanan değişimi ortaya koymaktadır. II. Barış Harekatıyla birlikte Kıbrıslı Türkler yaklaşık bir asır ayrı oldukları Türkiye ile yakınlaşmıştır. Tarihi ve sosyolojik bilgilerden yararlanarak yaklaşık elli yıldır beraber olan Türkiye ve KKTC arasında yaşanan etkileşim araştırma konusu yapılmıştır. Kıbrıslı Türklerin dini yaşayışları ve algıları ölçülmeye çalışmıştır. İnanç, ibadet, dini uygulama, dini algılama vb. boyutlarda ne gibi farklılıklar olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Örneklem olarak da Güzelyurt ilçesi seçilmiştir. Güzelyurt adanın dördüncü büyük kent merkezidir. 1974 yılından beri Türk yurdudur. Anahtar kavramlar: II. Barış Harekatı, Kıbrıslı Türkler, dini yaşayış, dini algılama, ibadet,inanç.

DR. BÜNYAMİN SOLMAZ Title of the Thesis/ A COMPARATIVE RESEARCH ON THE RELIGIOUS LIVES Dissertation OF TURKISH CYPRIOTS (EXAMPLE OF MORPHOU) Abstract: Turkish Cypriots are the second most populous ethnic group on the island. Until 1960, the British colonial island in 1960, the Greek-Turkish-British partnership laid the foundations of a new republic. However, this new state did not last very long. The never-ending idea of enosis by the Greeks led to their ethnic neighbors who had been living together for hundreds of years. Turkey intervened on the island as a result of using the right of guarantee. II. After the Peace Operation, the island took its present form. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was established and became an independent Turkish state. As a matter of fact, the world gives unlimited rights to the corrupt Greek Cypriot Administration instead of recognizing this state. If Turkey is located next to the kin since the first day. This study we did II. Peace Operation is accepted as the beginning and it shows the change experienced in Turkish Cypriots. II. Peace Operation Turkish Cypriots with Turkey that has close relations with nearly a century apart. Historical and sociological information that is benefiting from interactions with nearly fifty years of research took place between Turkey and the TRNC have been made. The religious lives and perceptions of Turkish Cypriots tried to be measured. Faith, worship, religious practice, religious perception and so on. the differences in dimensions have been revealed. Güzelyurt was chosen as the sample. Güzelyurt is the fourth largest city center of the island. It is a Turkish homeland since 1974. Key concepts: II. Peace Operation, Turkish Cypriots, religious life, religious perception, worship, faith. IV ÖNSÖZ İnsan doğup büyüdüğü toplum ile anlam kazanır. Hayatın ne olduğunu o toplumda öğrenir. Her insan içinde bulunduğu toplumun özelliklerini belleğine aktarır. Böylelikle insan içinde bulunduğu toplumun örfünü, geleneğini, adetlerini vb. özelliklerini kuşaktan kuşağa aktaran aracı olmaktadır. Kıbrıs Türk toplumu Osmanlı’nın iskan politikaları neticesinde adaya gönderilmiş Osmanlı Türkleri’nin devamıdır. Bu insanlar Anadolu’dan hiç bilmedikleri bir memlekete gelirken yanında getirdikleri tek şey malları, dünyalık eşyaları değildi. Toplumun özeliklerini de beraberinde getirdiler. Akıllarında, vicdanlarında, yüreklerinde, hafızalarında taşıdıkları şeyler Anadolu’daki soydaşlarından farklı değildi. Geçen yüzyılların ardından Osmanlı dağılmış, Kıbrıs elden çıkmış ve İngiliz sömürgelerine dahil olmuştur. Müslüman ve Türk tebaadan anayurda dönenler olsa da ciddi bir nufüs vatan bildikleri bu topraklarda kalmayı, uğrunda can vermeyi göze almışlardır. Yaşanan tarihi travmatik hadiseler, iç çatışmalar, etnik kıyım, ambargolar bu necip Müslüman Türk milletine yurdunu terk ettirememiştir. II. Barış Harekatı ile beraber anavatan ile tekrar tarihi ve fiziki olarak bir araya gelen adada müstakil bir Türk devleti kurulmuştur. Ancak tekrar buluşan bu iki toplumda bir takım değişmeler meydana gelmiştir. Geçen yıllar bellekleri dönüştürmüş, hafızaları eskitmiştir. Dini, örfi, kültürel bir takım deformasyonlar meydana gelmiştir. Adada onlarca üniversite olmasına rağmen sosyolojik çalışmaların azlığı, özellikle de Felsefe ve Din Bilimleri adı altında müstakil eserlerin azlığını görüp, üstümüze düşeni yapmaya karar verdik. Güzelyurt II. Barış Harekatı’ndan sonra Göçmen Kıbrıslı Türklerin ve anavatandan gelen göçmen Türklerin yurdu olmuştur. Çalışmamızı adanın en bereketli ve bakir topraklarında yapmamızın nedeni, ülkenin taksiminden beri ilçenin geri iade edilecek gözüyle bakılmasından dolayıdır. İlçede halen eski yapılar çoğunlukta olup kalkınma hareketi gerçekleşmemektedir. Bundan dolayı da 1974’te iskan edilen ve halen aynı evde oturan binlerce Kıbrıslı Türk vardır. Yaptığımız bu çalışmada araştırmanın konusu, problemi, amacı, yöntemi, kapsamı ve sınırlılıklarına ait bilgiler giriş kısmında verilmiştir. Çalışmamız iki ana bölümden oluşmaktadır. Birinci bölüm teorik ve kamramsal çerçevelerden oluşmaktadır. Öncelikle ada hakkında genel bilgiler verilip daha sonrasında yaşanan dönüşümlerin nedenine temel teşkil edebilmek için sosyolojik ve tarihi bilgiler verilmiştir. İkinci bölümde ise V araştırmanın bulguları analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç ve değerlendirme kısmı ile de çalışma nihayete ermektedir. Bu çalışma esnasında öncelikle benden bilgi ve tecrübelerini esirgemeyen bölüm hocalarıma ve danışmanım Prof. Dr. Bünyamin Solmaz Bey’e teşekkürü bir borç bilirim. Ayrıca tez savunma sınavımda görev alan Dr. Öğretim Üyesi Mustafa Özdemir ve Dr. Öğretim Üyesi Arif Korkmaz hocalarıma da teşekkür ederim. Benimle beraber saha çalışması yapan Kenan İşkey hocama ve din sosyolojisi master öğrencisi Burak Aydın’a şükranlarımı sunarım. Benimle beraber kaygılanan, stres yaşayan ve sürekli beni motive eden başta eşime, kızıma, beni büyüten anneme, babama ve aileme de teşekkür ederim.

  • A Historical Perspective on Entrepreneurial Environment and Business-Government-Society Relationship in Cyprus
    A Historical Perspective on Entrepreneurial Environment and Business-Government-Society Relationship in Cyprus Gizem ÖKSÜZOĞLU GÜVEN, PhD. Brunel Business School, Brunel University United Kingdom ABSTRACT This article studies the entrepreneurial environment and business-government-society relationship in Cyprus during the Ottoman Empire period (1571-1878) and during the British Colonial period (1878- 1960) with an emphasis on Cypriot Turks. These two periods have particular socio-cultural and economic importance in Cypriot history. Furthermore, these periods are significant in terms of setting out the basis of today’s entrepreneurial culture and practices in Cyprus. This article presents insights on the governance styles, significant figures and positions within society during those periods. It also discusses the connections between administrative officials and businesses. By doing so, it aims to shed light on the entrepreneurial environment in each of these periods. Extensive research of historical documents and relevant literature suggests quite similar structures in both periods, yet more complicated relationships during the British Colonial period. Keywords: Entrepreneurial environment, business-government-society relationship, Cyprus, business history, Ottoman Empire period, British colonial period, 1. Introduction This article aims to shed light on entrepreneurial practices and business-government-society relationship during two of the most recent and influential periods of Cyprus; the Ottoman Empire period and the British Colonial period. This article provides insights to current entrepreneurs and foreign investors to understand the antecedents of business culture, certain practices and structures that originate from those two periods in order to better adapt to the current entrepreneurial environment. The first section discusses each period, the way entrepreneurial practice and business-government- society relationship were shaped and the second section provides a discussion.

In a 1960 referendum, the three religious groups were asked to choose to belong to either the Greek Cypriot or the Turkish Cypriot community. They opted to belong to the Greek Cypriot community. The members of all three groups, therefore, enjoy the same privileges, rights and benefits as the members of the Greek Cypriot community, including voting rights, eligibility for public office and election to official government and state positions, at all levels.

The central contribution of the dissertation is the development of the concept of social forgetting as a corollary of social memory. I consider forgetting to include selective remembering, mis/disremembering, and omitting, distorting, or silencing past events and experiences, in order to shape collective memory. In the literature, remembering is usually privileged over forgetting, which is taken as negation, neglect, failure to remember, or unintended social amnesia in which people are considered passive actors. This study, however, shows that forgetting can be a desirable goal and positive process for some social actors, accomplished by obscuring material evidence of what another community wishes remembered.

    The Roots of Secularism in Northern Cyprus and Turkey’s Ambition of Islamization Ijtimā'iyya: Journal of Muslim Society Research e-ISSN 2541-0040; p-ISSN 2541-2736; pages 119-132 DOI: https://doi.org/10.24090/ijtimaiyya.v5i2.4155 Ijtimā'iyya: Journal of Muslim Society Research is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License The Roots of Secularism in Northern Cyprus and Turkey’s Ambition of Islamization Riskiansyah Ramadhan Universitas Indonesia, Indonesia [email protected] Abstract The conquest of Cyprus by the Ottoman Empire in 1571 had an impact on the growing Muslim population there. However, the majority Muslim population does not make Northern Cyprus adopt Islam as the official religion of the country. This article aims to analyze the roots of secularism in Northern Cyprus, some of which are caused by British government policies, the rise of Kemalism, the emergence of Alevism and Linobambaki, and the repression of Sufi orders at the end of Ottoman rule. Besides, the political situation in Turkey turned out to have an impact on Northern Cyprus, where Turkey sought to implement the Islamization policy there. Keywords: islamization, northern cyprus, secularization, turkey A. Introduction The conquest of the Ottomans of Cyprus in 1571 brought a new ethnological and cultural element. The Ottoman government began to build various institutions, including waqf and education, and transform the church's function into a mosque. Over time, the number of Muslim populations in Cyprus has increased. In Cyprus, the Muslim population grown in several ways, such as through migration and the conversion of Christian communities into Islam.

  • Aporias of Identity Bicommunalism, Hybridity and the ‘Cyprus Problem’ COSTAS M
    247-270 CAC-079931.qxd 7/8/07 11:29 AM Page 247 Aporias of Identity Bicommunalism, Hybridity and the ‘Cyprus Problem’ COSTAS M. CONSTANTINOU ABSTRACT This article examines the predicaments and paradoxes of identity pol- itics in Cyprus. It looks at the historical alliance of colonial practices and nationalist rationales that brought about a static bicommunal system, establishing the basis for inter-ethnic conflict, or what became known as the ‘Cyprus problem’. The advent of modern governmentality, dividing and classifying the Cypriot population, helped, in addition, to solidify fluid and ambiguous ethno-religious boundaries, making it more difficult for individuals to use ethno-religious identities flexibly and pragmat- ically, including their use as a tactic to resist the policies of consecutive regimes of power.The article suggests that the ‘Cyprus problem’ provides a moral alibi for the pursuit of a range of problematic regulations and practices against individuals caught between the dominant ethnic iden- tities, even though there also exist windows of opportunity and resistance on the ground. The article focuses on the genealogy and presence of hybrid communities and syncretistic lifestyles, which complicate and transgress the binary of Greek/Christian versus Turk/Muslim, and the existence of which became progressively abnormalized or exoticized. Keywords: colonialism; the Cyprus problem; ethnic conflict; homogen- ization; hybridity; representation Hasanpoulia, Hasanpoulia, flying like birds, Dressed in different clothes everyday, Greek today and Turkish tomorrow. (Anonymous Cypriot poem) I In contemporary Cyprus, the ascription of ethno-religious identity is highly political and juridical. It carries a heavy burden and provides a licence for how individuals and groups are officially treated.

Uğur ÖZGÖKER Tez Türü ve Tarihi :Yüksek Lisans – Mayıs 2008 Anahtar Kelimeler :Kıbrıs Sorunu, Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti ÖZET Kıbrıs Türk’leri Kıbrıs Cumhuriyeti yönetiminden dışlanarak baskı altında yaşamaya başladıkları günden itibaren organize olarak var olma mücadelelerini sürdürmüşlerdir. İşleyen bir devlet mekanizmasının gerekleri Türkiye’nin de yardımıyla ayrılığın ilk yıllarından itibaren tesis edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Yirmi yıllık mücadele sonucunda kurulan Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti 15 Kasım 2008’de 25. yılını kutlayacak. Bu çalışma ile KKTC kuruluşunun Kıbrıs Sorununun çözümüne etkisi anlatılmaya çalışılmıştır. KKTC Devlet olmanın gereklerini yerine getiriyor olsa da dünyadan izole edildiği görülmüştür. Ancak Devlet olarak var olma çabası Türk Toplumunun çözüm halindeki kazanımlarını olumlu etkileyecektir. Türk toplumu KKTC’nin varlığı sayesinde güçlü bir örgütlenme gerçekleştirmiş, varlığını sürdürebilme olanağını bulmuştur. Toplumlararası görüşmelerde “Bağımsız Devlet” yerine kabul edilebilir tek seçenek olan “Kurucu Devlet” statüsü KKTC’nin varlığının bir sonucudur. 3 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE Name and Surname :Ahmet TEZEL Field : Internationals Relations and Globalization Programme : Internationals Relations and Globalization Supervisor : Asst.

    Volume 15, No. 2, Autumne / Automne 2007 Cypriot Literatures as Part of the Eastern Mediterranean Contact Area (1850-1960)* Matthias Kappler** RÉSUMÉ Cette contribution constitue une tentative de considérer les «littératures chypriotes», c’est- à-dire surtout les littératures grecque et turque chypriotes, comme partie d’un espace de contact couvrant les vieilles provinces ottomanes dans la Méditerranée orientale (Grèce, Anatolie, Liban, Syrie, Palestine, Égypte), afin de pouvoir analyser les sujets, les lieux et le discours narratif dans le cadre d’une approche comparative. Par le moyen de concepts comme «dislocation / migration» et les modèles de «centre-périphérie», empruntés aux études post- coloniales, cette approche a pour but de déchiffrer des structures convergentes dans l’expression littéraire des littératures chypriotes en comparaison avec les littératures du Proche-Orient (surtout en langue arabe) en essayant de créer des correspondances entre expression littéraire périphérique en migration (par exemple grecque chypriote en Égypte) et les tendances et courants dominants pendant les dernières années de l’occupation ottomane et britannique de l’île. ABSTRACT The present contribution constitutes an attempt to consider “Cypriot literatures”, i.e. especially Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot literature, as part of a contact area which covers the former Ottoman provinces in the Eastern Mediterranean (Greece, Anatolia, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Egypt) in order to analyze topics, settings and narrative discourse in a comparative approach. With the aid of concepts like “dislocation/migration” and “centre- periphery” patterns borrowed from post-colonial studies, this approach aims at providing convergent structures in literary expression in Cypriot literatures in comparison to Near Eastern (especially Arabic) literatures, and it tries to create links between peripheral literary expression in migration (for instance Greek Cypriots in Egypt) and central trends and currents during the last year of Ottoman rule and during the British rule on the island.
