  • The Possible Effects of Irrigation Schemes and Irrigation Methods on Water Budget and Economy in Atatürk Dam of South-Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey
    The possible effects of irrigation schemes and irrigation methods on water budget and economy in Atatürk dam of south-eastern Anatolia region of Turkey Huseyin Demir1, Ahmet Zahir Erkan2, Nesrin Baysan2, Gonca Karaca Bilgen2 1 GAP Şanlıurfa Tünel Çıkış Ağzı 2 GAP Cankaya, Ankara, Turkey Abstract. The South-eastern Anatolia Project (GAP) has been implemented in the southeast part of Turkey, covering 9 provinces and the two most important rivers of Turkey. The main purpose of this gorgeous project is to uplift the income level and living standards of people in the region, to remove the inter-regional development disparities and to contribute to the national goals of economic development and social stability. The cost of the project is 32 billion USD consisting of 13 sub-projects in the river basins of Euphrates and Tigris. The project has evolved over time and has become multi sectoral, integrated and human based on the sustainable regional development. Upon the fully completion of the project, 1.8 Million hectares of land will be able to be irrigated in Euphrates and Tigris Basins through surface and underground water resources. From 1995 until now, 273.000 ha. of land have already been irrigated within the GAP Project. Roughly 739,000 ha. of this land will be irrigated from Atatürk Dam, the largest dam of GAP Project. At present, nearly ¼ of this area is under irrigation. Some technological developments have been experienced in the Project area, ranging from upstream controlled schemes having trapezoidal section, lined or unlined, to upstream controlled schemes having high pressurized piped system; and from conventional methods to drip irrigation method.

Signature ABSTRACT / ANNOTATION Title: Fine Ware Ninevite 5 Pottery from Khabur Basin Project Author: Hana Koubková Department / Institute: Department of Archaeology and Museology/Prehistoric Archaeology of the Near East Supervisor: Mgr. Inna Mateiciucová, Ph.D. Abstract: This paper is concerned with fine ware Ninevite 5 pottery from Upper and Middle Khabur Basin in northeast Syria, where Yale University conducted surface survey at the end of the last century, called Khabur Basin Project. Study of this material is important for discovery of new Ninevite 5 sites in the area of interest. There were designated fifteen Ninevite 5 sherds (Group 1) and eight of them occurred at the new early third millennium sites. Other six sites are concerned with undecorated pottery assemblages (Group 2), therefore, the designation as Ninevite 5 pottery is not for sure. This thesis is just a preliminary effort to determine fine ware ceramic material from Early Bronze Age, especially Ninevite 5 period and the first step in a better understanding of the settlement in the Upper and Middle Khabur Region in northeast Syria.

  • 'A Country Swept by Chilly Gusts of Frosty Snowstorms'
    Journal of Eastern Christian Studies 68(3-4), 217-230. doi: 10.2143/JECS.68.3.3191686 © 2016 by Journal of Eastern Christian Studies. All rights reserved. INTRODUCTiON ‘A countrY SWEPT BY CHILLY GUSTS OF FROSTY snowstorms’ It is true that we dwell within the boundaries of this northern country, which is swept by chilly gusts of frosty snowstorms and which had been frozen especially through the darkness of our spirits’ former ignorance – a country where even after the dawn of the Evangelical light we had lingered for ages unreached by its rays. Yet, when the Sun of justice deigned to visit us from the heights through the valiant fortitude and the sufferings of the most blessed Gregory, the holy Enlightener and Christ’s Confessor, it was with strokes of godly admonition and with miracles of divine wonderworking that he brought this people, and this kingdom of Armenia, from ignorance to the knowledge of the true God. Catholicos Xač‛ik Aršaruni to a Byzantine Metropolitan of Sebastia, c. 987.1 It is not customary to place Armenia in the north.2 For scholars of Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman civilisations Armenia lies in a remote East; however, since the Russian conquests of the Caucasus between 1783 and 1829, it has firmly occupied a place in the south of our mental map, beyond the Cauca- 1 ‘Պատասխանի թղթոյն մետրոպոլտին Սեբաստիոյ, գրեալ հրամանաւ տեառն Խաչկայ Հայոց կաթողիկոսի’ (Answer to the Letter of the Metropolitan of Sebastia, Written at the Instruction of Lord Xač‛ik, Catholicos of Armenia), in Book of Letters (Jerusalem, 1994), pp.

  • Mardin from Tales to Legends 2
    1 MARDİN FROM TALES TO LEGENDS 2 künye 3 MARDİN FROM TALES TO LEGENDS 4 Introduction Mesopotamia is among those few names in the world that almost everyone is familiar with. Think of a region that is the birthplace of many tools, philosophies, systems and religions. Think of a region that so much that it pioneered has been adopted throughout the world and has played such an important role in shaping everyday lives. Imagine a place which witnessed so much for the first time: first writing system, first state, first city, first water irrigation sysems, first law and many more. Mardin situated right at the centre of this incredibly rich region can therefore be seen as a fortunate city, blessed in history. It has Anatolia on one side and Mesopotamia on the other, an ancient region which transported so many innovations that had originated in the Middle East to the western world. Despite the common assumption, the word Mesopotamia is not of Middle Eastern origin. It comes from the ancient Greek root words mesos (middle) and potamia (rivers) literally meaning “(land) between rivers.” It is curious that although writing was introduced in the region almost 3000 years earlier than in Greece, the region’s name is of Greek origin rather than a Middle Eastern language. In Syriac, Mesopotamia is called Beth Nahrin. Composed of the words beth (house, land) and nahrin (two rivers), it literally means “the land of/between two rivers.” Based on this, it can be deduced that the region was named not by the Greek civilizations of the west but by the people of the region themselves.

At the same time, Muslims have made Marks on these works. From the 12th tothe 14th century, it is seen that both the most civilized and advanced countries of Europe and Asia was the societies of the Islamic Civilizations. It is known that cities developed from rich and culturally developed cities thanks to science and literature, arts and trade developed from Iraq to Andalus, Turkestanto Anatolia. These cities have become a center of intense scientific and cultural life and attracted scholars and artisans who have grown up allover in the world. According to Islamic historians and geographers, Urfa, which is one of the first settlement centers established on earth after the flood of Noah, also maintain edits importance as an important city in the history of Islamic civilization.

  • The Historical Earthquakes of Syria: an Analysis of Large and Moderate Earthquakes from 1365 B.C
    ANNALS OF GEOPHYSICS, VOL. 48, N. 3, June 2005 The historical earthquakes of Syria: an analysis of large and moderate earthquakes from 1365 B.C. to 1900 A.D. Mohamed Reda Sbeinati (1), Ryad Darawcheh (1) and Mikhail Mouty (2) (1) Department of Geology, Atomic Energy Commission of Syria, Damascus, Syria (2) Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Damascus University, Damascus, Syria Abstract The historical sources of large and moderate earthquakes, earthquake catalogues and monographs exist in many depositories in Syria and European centers. They have been studied, and the detailed review and analysis re- sulted in a catalogue with 181 historical earthquakes from 1365 B.C. to 1900 A.D. Numerous original documents in Arabic, Latin, Byzantine and Assyrian allowed us to identify seismic events not mentioned in previous works. In particular, detailed descriptions of damage in Arabic sources provided quantitative information necessary to re-evaluate past seismic events. These large earthquakes (I0>VIII) caused considerable damage in cities, towns and villages located along the northern section of the Dead Sea fault system. Fewer large events also occurred along the Palmyra, Ar-Rassafeh and the Euphrates faults in Eastern Syria. Descriptions in original sources doc- ument foreshocks, aftershocks, fault ruptures, liquefaction, landslides, tsunamis, fires and other damages. We present here an updated historical catalogue of 181 historical earthquakes distributed in 4 categories regarding the originality and other considerations, we also present a table of the parametric catalogue of 36 historical earth- quakes (table I) and a table of the complete list of all historical earthquakes (181 events) with the affected lo- cality names and parameters of information quality and completeness (table II) using methods already applied in other regions (Italy, England, Iran, Russia) with a completeness test using EMS-92.
