1. Hagia Sophia
CONT'D OVER
TURKISHCLASS101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S1 #1 - TOP 10 TURKISH TOURIST DESTINATIONS: HAGIA SOPHIA 2 2. Hagia Sophia is located in Turkey in the city of Istanbul. In its history, the building has been an Orthodox basilica, a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a mosque. The building was first dedicated in 360 AD, and in those days, it was Constantinople's Greek Patriarchal cathedral. It became a cathedral for Roman Catholics for about 60 years in the 1200s, but it was changed back to an Orthodox church after that until 1453 when it was converted to a mosque. In 1931 it became a secular building, and then four years later it was turned into a museum.
3. Some experts hail the structure as the epitome of architectural work from Byzantine times, and the dome is one of the most famous views from Istanbul. For almost a thousand years, it was the world's largest cathedral.
4. In addition to the dome, Hagia Sophia is also known for the numerous holy relics and mosaics. An incredible iconostasis greets visitors to the museum, and the building is also home to two lustration urns that came from Pergamon. Other impressive features inside the structure include the Marble Door and numerous mosaics depicting Jesus, Mary, and various saints and rulers. Many mosaics were revealed during a restoration of the building done in the 1930s when some of the plaster was removed. The restoration process was especially interesting because of the building's history as both a Christian and Muslim place of worship. This resulted in the display of iconic works of art from both faiths, which contradict each other.
5. Cultural Heritage-The current state of Hagia Sophia doesn't contain any architectural elements from the original building which was built around 300 AC. The building has been demolished twice, the first one during the riots and the latter during Nika rebellion. The building we see today was built during 500 BC. Emperor Justinianus undertook the construction of the building. Upon the completion of the building, he said- "Solomon, I have surpassed thee!"(referring to King Solomon's temple in Jerusalem). The dome of the building had been severely damaged in an earthquake, which then was reconstructed in a different way, aiming for a more robust structure.

Build It Up, Tear it Down
The Hagia Sophia structure that exists today contains nothing of the original building from the 300s. The building was destroyed two times—once during riots and a second time during the Nika Revolt—and what stands today is the structure that was erected during the 500s. Justinian is credited with the current structure, and after it was built, he supposedly proclaimed, "Solomon, I have outdone thee!" An earthquake severely damaged the dome of the building, which then had to be rebuilt using a different construction in order to make it stronger than the original dome.

1. Cappadocia
2. Cappadocia is a region in Turkey that is easily recognized by its hoodoos. These rock formations were formed over millions of years ago by the consolidation of sedimentary rocks created by the volcanic out-spurts. Over time, these rock formations eroded until they became the famous chimney shaped trademarks of Cappadocia.

TURKISHCLASS101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S1 #2 - TOP 10 TURKISH TOURIST DESTINATIONS: CAPPADOCIA 2 3. Earliest human settlements in Cappadocia date back to the Ancient Roman Period when shelters and churches were carved into these rock formations. These carved settlements now are a tourist draw as people visit the area to see what life was like so far back in history. The Gerome Open Air Museum is one of Turkey's most well-known destinations for tourists. The museum includes over 30 chapels and churches that have been carved right out of the rocks at Cappadocia. Some of these churches even have incredible frescoes on the walls inside of them. Some of those frescoes date back to the ninth century.
4. There are about six major churches carved into the rocks at Gerome. The largest is the Buckle Church, which was restored in the 1980s. The other churches are the Apple Church, the Church of St. Barbara, the Snake Church, the Dark Church, and the Church with Sandals. The Church with Sandals is interesting because it has two foot prints that are supposedly the same prints that are found in Jerusalem's Church of the Ascension.

Life in the Underground
A major feature of Cappadocia is the large number of underground cities there. Early Christians lived in these hidden cities before Christianity was accepted as a religion. Kaymakli Underground City is one of those cities, and it has been open to tourists since 1964. The city consists of almost a hundred tunnels, which are still being used today to store items and to house animals. It is one of the biggest underground cities in the area. One of the reasons it probably was so large is the numerous storage areas, which indicate that the people who lived in the city enjoyed at least some degree of economic stability.

2. Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar is one of the world’s oldest and biggest covered markets. It has more than five thousand different stalls and about sixty covered streets there. Nearly, half million people visit the market every day. In addition to the stalls, there are also fountains, two Turkish baths, mosques, and plenty of eateries. The two mosques are the Bayezid Mosque, which is also close to the Forum of Theodosius, another major tourist attraction, and the Nuruosmaniye Mosque located in the Grand Bazaar, which was built by the same sultan. The Nuruosmaniye Mosque is especially unique because it does not contain an ablution fountain, which is a common feature for most of the mosques. The market also holds two domed buildings that are especially used for storage.

He was the Ottoman Empire's longest reigning sultan, and his queen, Roxelana, was very well-known, especially because she was a harem girl before she married the sultan. Traditionally, sultans did not marry girls from their harems. Roxelana was famous for her manipulation of the line of succession to the throne. Since she did not bear the sultan's oldest son, her sons would have had to be strangled upon the heir's succession to the throne, but she manipulated the situation to work in favor of her sons.

2. Topkapi Palace is in Istanbul, and it was the main residence of the sultans during the reign of the Ottoman Empire. Today, it is a major tourist destination, both because of its important historic significance and also because it holds some important Islamic relics, like the sword and cloak traditionally believed to have been used by Prophet Muhammed. In 1985, UNESCO listed Tokapi Palace as a World Heritage Site. Many architects consider the palace as one of the most important masterpieces of the Ottoman Empire.

The palace sits on Seraglio Point, which is a promontory looking out on the Sea of Marmara and the Golden Horn. It’s one of the highest buildings that’s located near the sea. The palace also rises on the ruins of some other structures, including the acropolis of the prior city of Byzantion and what is now known as the Palace Basilica, which archeologists discovered when they excavated one of the courtyards inside Tokapi Palace.
4. Work on building the palace started in 1459 on order of Sultan Mehmed II, who had conquered Constantinople. There are several small buildings inside the palace and four large courtyards. During its heyday, about four thousand people lived there. By the 1600s, the palace began to decline because the Sultans spent more time in the newer palaces that had been built on the Bosporus. When the Ottoman Empire ended in 1921, the palace officially became a museum.

For example, a fig tree began growing inside the hollow trunk of another tree, and it eventually fused with the larger tree.

2. Pamukkale, or the Cotton Castle, is a natural formation that lies in the southwestern part of Turkey. It was formed over millennia by travertine, hot springs, and carbonate minerals. For centuries, people have enjoyed taking soaking in the hot springs at Pamukkale. The ancient city of Hierapolis was built on top of the formation, and then several hotels and resorts were built on top of it. When UNESCO declared Pamukkale to be a World Heritage Site, the hotels there were demolished so that the natural formation could be preserved.

TURKISHCLASS101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S1 #5 - TOP 10 TURKISH TOURIST DESTINATIONS: PAMUKKALE 2 3. Tourists who go to Pamukkale should know that wearing shoes in the springs is prohibited because they are trying to protect the natural mineral deposits that created the formation. In all there are 17 hot springs with varying temperatures between 95 degrees up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The high temperatures combined with the high levels of calcium carbonate that are present result in the deposit of the minerals that have created Pamukkale. The hot springs are kept warm by an underground volcano that heats the water.
4. In addition to the hot springs themselves, tourists can also see the ruins of the temples and Greek monuments at Pamukkale, which are reminders of just how long ago people were going to these hot springs. Historians believe that the thermal spa at Hierapolis was first set up in the second century B.C. In addition to relaxation, the thermal pools were also used for hydrotherapy as part of many religious ceremonies and cult practices.

The ancient people who lived in the area referred to the cave as Plutonium, which roughly translates to "place of Pluto." Pluto was a god in the Ancient Greek world. The priests of the Cybele cult used the cave for their religious ceremonies, and they discovered a way to appear to others as if they were immune to the high levels of gas that are inside the cave. In addition to the Cybele cult, there were several other gods worshipped in the area, including Apollo. The Temple of Apollo at Hierapolis is one of the most well-known in the world.

The subterranean structure is about the size of a cathedral, and it held a massive amount of water, supplying the nearby palace and also neighborhood residents with water. There are more than three hundred columns made of marble inside the cistern supporting the ceiling. The columns are mostly done in Corinthian and Ionic styles, although there are some done in the Doric style. The engravings on the bases of the columns show various images, including tears, which ancient texts reveal were meant to pay homage to the slaves who were killed while working on the cistern. About seven thousand slaves worked on the cistern, and historic texts say that hundreds of them were killed during the construction. Many of the columns that support the cistern appear to have come from other places. Historians believe they were repurposed from older buildings that had sat in ruins.
4. Going down into the cistern requires visitors to go down fifty-two steps. The top of the steps is located right next to the tram, so it is easy to find the Basilica Cistern. Visitors who have seen From Russia with Love, a James Bond film from 1963, may recognize it as one of the locations where the film was set.

The bases actually came from somewhere else and were reused in the construction. Historians do not know where they came from, although they believe that they had been taken out of another building. One of the heads is sideways and the other is upside down because it was believed that this took the power out of the eyes of the Medusas, who supposedly turned to stone anyone who looked at them. Traditionally, Medusa was one of three Gorgons, which were female creatures with hair that consisted of snakes. Whenever she looked at someone, they turned to stone.

5. The nearby town of Dalyan is another popular place for tourists to visit when they stay in Marmaris. The town is home to ancient tombs, a river lined with reeds, sandy beaches, and mud baths. It is also the one of the native areas of the Caretta caretta sea turtles.

One of the major events in the history of Marmaris happened some time in the Hellenistic Age. Alexander the Great invaded the area, and his armies besieged the castle. At that time there were about six hundred people living in the town, and they knew that they were powerless against the armies, so they went into the castle to burn their valuable items so that the invaders wouldn't have anything to loot. Then the people took their families and escaped to the hills in the surrounding area. Although there was no monetary value left in the homes inside Marmaris, the armies did repair the castle because they saw that it provided a strategic position for their soldiers to hold.

Nemrut Dagi National Park was one of the world's best kept secrets for centuries. It is unknown how long after these statues were put up that they dropped out of human history, but we do know that they were rediscovered in 1881 when an engineer from Germany who was tasked with setting up new transportation routes stumbled across the statues. Today the site is believed to have been an important place for the Cult of Commagene, which was possibly started by King Antiochus and only lasted a generation or two beyond his death. The cult was possibly created to bring together the Persian and Greek halves of King Antiochus' kingdom because there was much controversy between them during this time.

The Missing...Century
There is a thousand years in Troy's history that were originally unaccounted for in the early excavations of the site's many layers, and even today these thousand years are the topic of archeological debate. This gap falls between 1800 and 800 B.C, which includes the period of time that encapsulated the Trojan War and the events of Homer's Iliad. It's known as Calvert's Thousand Year Gap, and the only clue to this time period came in one excavation that seemed to uncover a weaker part of the city's wall, similar to a section of the wall described in the Iliad. Pottery found in this part of the excavation also shows some sort of link between the Mycenaeans, who were recorded as the group of people attacking Troy during the Trojan War. However, destruction of this part of the city appeared to have been caused by an earthquake, which would place it before the Trojan War. The next section of destruction is the one that appears to have been destroyed by war.

1. The Blue Mosque
2. The Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul is commonly called the “Blue Mosque,” and it’s the largest one in all of Turkey. It also served as the Ottoman Empire’s capital between 1453 and 1923. The reason for the nickname is the blue colored tiles that cover the walls inside the building. In spite of the structure being a major tourist destination, it is still a place of worship for Muslims, and is still in use as a mosque today.

The Blue Mosque was built between the years of 1609 and 1616 while King Ahmed I was reigning. King Ahmed I is entombed inside the mosque, which also holds a hospice and a madrasah. The architectural design has both Byzantine and Ottoman elements to it. The mosque’s façade includes turrets on the domes over the corners of the buildings. The rest of the structure’s face is similar to that of the Suleymaniye Mosque, which is also located in Istanbul.
4. Inside the Blue Mosque, there are over twenty thousand ceramic tiles that have been made by hand in the city of Iznik, which is also the ancient city of Nicaea. The intricate tiles have more than fifty unique designs of tulips, with the traditional designs being used toward the lower level and more flamboyant designs up in the gallery. The upper levels of the interior are mostly covered in blue paint, and there are also over two hundred stained glass windows showing some very complex designs.
5. Tourists should note that if they visit the Blue Mosque, they will have to take their shoes off and dress modestly. Women are required to cover their heads. Scarves are provided in the event that a woman wants to enter but has nothing to cover her head with.
6. One of the greatest times to visit the Blue Mosque is during the summer. On many evenings, a historical narrative is told, and there are also light shows.

A Controversial Mistake
Probably the most recognized feature of the building is the six minarets that sit on the top. Most mosques only have one to four minarets. A legend about the minarets says that the sultan supposedly told the architect to build minarets made of gold, but the word for "gold" is similar to the word for "six" in Turkish. After the mosque's completion, the six minarets caused a major controversy in the world of Islam. The Haram Mosque in Mecca, the place Muslims consider to be the holiest in the world, had six minarets as well. The sultan ordered that a seventh minaret be added at Mecca to raise that mosque back above the Blue Mosque.

1. Trabzon
2. The Turkish city of Trabzon sits right on the Black Sea along the Silk Road, an ancient trade route that linked Asia with the Mediterranean. The city’s location on the Silk Road created a cultural melting pot as East collided with West. Trabzon was founded sometime around 756 B.C. as a trading colony. It was one of many established along the shore of the Black Sea, and later became a key port for the kingdom of Pontus under Mithridates VI Eupator. Under the Romans it offered access to important new roads granting access to the Euphrates valley. For about 200 years following the Fourth Crusade, the city served as the capital of the Empire of Trebizond, which controlled the southeastern shore of the Black Sea.

The historic shadow play characters, Karagoz and Hacivat, traditionally were said to have lived in Bursa. Turkish shadow plays became popular during the days of the Ottoman Empire. The two characters serve as foils, with one being the embodiment of the general, illiterate public, and the other being the personification of the upper class. Hacivat is full of "get rich quick" schemes, and historically he was all about the upper body. Karagoz, on the other hand, was all about the lower body, often displaying much cursing and an obsession with the phallus and with defecation.

2. The Turkish city of Konya is located centrally in the country, and archeological finds show that there have been civilizations living at the site of the city since about 3,000 B.C. Like most cities in all of Turkey, various peoples ruled over Konya, including the Hittites, the Phrygians, and the Cimmerians. Today it is Turkey’s seventhlargest city.

Locals have referred to it as “the citadel of Islam.” Also Turks generally recognize that residents of Konya tend to be more devout than Turks from other parts of the country.
4. One of the most important places in Konya is Rumi’s tomb. Rumi was more commonly known as Mevlana, and he lived during the 1200s. He was a Muslim theologian and poet, as well as a Sufi mystic. Although he was born in Afghanistan, he moved to Konya and eventually died there. Today there is a shrine to him at his tomb in Konya. The shrine is a very popular place for Muslims to make a pilgrimage to. When Rumi died, his followers set up the Mevlevi Order, which is very well-known today for its Sama ceremony, which includes a distinctive whirling dance. For this reason, the order is also known by many as the Order of the Whirling Dervishes.
5. Konya was also put on the map for its famous Turkish carpets, which became popular in Europe during the Renaissance. The expensive carpets were often purchased as a status symbol and to show off the wealth of the owner.

The Mevlevi Order, or the Order of the Whirling Dervishes, was founded in Konya. The dance that plays an important role in the practice of this Islamic denomination is a very distinctive whirling movement, which is meant to symbolize the remembrance of God. UNESCO named the ceremony to its list of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Tradition says the story was created by Rumi, the originator of the Mevlevi Order, after he walked through the Konya market and heard the rhythms being beat by the hammerers in the marketplace. He then started whirling in a circle to the rhythms he heard.

Urfa sits in the southeastern part of Turkey on a large plain to the east of the River Euphrates in the region once known as Mesopotamia, which is referred to by many as “the cradle of civilization.” Archeological evidence traces settlements at the site of the city back to at least 500 B.C., although there are some indications that civilization in the area may go as far back as 9000 B.C.

Throughout history, Urfa was frequently being conquered by various groups, including the Medes, Chaldeans, Persians, Byzantines, Hittites, Babylonians, and numerous other peoples. Islam arrived in Urfa sometime in the early seventh century A.D. It was right after the Rashidun army took the city over without any fight. After the First Crusade, the city— then known as Edessa—became an important Crusader state. After World War I, the city continued to be a contested area, with first Great Britain and then France occupying it.
4. Today there is an obvious divide in Urfa. The parts of the old city and new city are very apparent. The old part of the city still harkens to the past in many ways, like the city bazaar where the locals still go to buy their produce. It is also very common to see locals dressed in traditional garb in the old part of the city. Many residents of the old town still live in homes that have been built right into the rocks, which shows just how poverty- stricken this part of the city is. The new town is strewn with modern apartment buildings constructed from concrete, updated restaurants, and the usual urban amenities one would expect to find in a large city.

The history of settlements at Istanbul dates to 7000 B.C., well before the Bosphorus Strait even formed. Evidence of those settlements was only unearthed recently when the Marmaray tunnel was being constructed. The artifacts that were found indicated that people were living in Istanbul for thousands of years before archeologists had thought previously. Historians generally consider the history of the area to begin sometime in the 600s BC when the city of Byzantium was built. In 324, Constantine I conquered the city and changed the name of the city to Constantinople. References to the city of Istanbul were used as early as the 900s B.C. All other names of the city became obsolete in 1923 when the Republic of Turkey was set up.

TURKISHCLASS101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S1 #19 - TOP 10 TURKISH CITIES: HATAY 2 2. Hatay Province is located along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Turkey. It is nestled right up to the border of Syria. There is evidence of settlements existing on the site of the city since the early part of the Bronze Age. It has belonged to various groups throughout history, including the Akkadian Empire, the Amorites, and the Hittites. The region derives its name, however, from it’s Neo-Hittite rulers, who flourished from around 1180 BC to 700 BC. Later, it became the location for the Syrian tetrapolis of Antioch, Seleucia Pieria, Apamea, and Laodicea under the Seleucid empire. After 64 BC, it spent the rest of antiquity under Roman rule, the city of Antioch serving as an important administrative and cultural center for the region. Not long before World War II, the Republic of Hatay was briefly set up, but it only existed for about a year, with both the French and the Turks ruling over it. Hatay officially became a province of Turkey in 1939 after a referendum.
3. Hatay Province is home to the second largest group of Roman mosaics in the world. That exhibition is in the Antakya Museum. St. Peter Church is another site of significance in the province. The church has been carved out of rock, and it is a common destination for Christian pilgrimages.
4. The land inside of Hatay is mostly mountainous, although about a third of it is plains area. The Nur Mountains march through the province, with the highest peak being Migirtepe. The landscape is also marked by the Arabian-Nubian Shield, which is a large area of exposed crystalline rocks. Visitors will also find the Orontes River running through the region.

Indiana Jones Gets it Wrong?
Hatay Province is one of the locations mentioned in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In the film, the characters make the trek out to the region because it is the place where the Holy Grail is resting in what the movie calls "the canyon of the crescent moon." The film erroneously portrays the rule of the province as a sultan, who is offered valuables in exchange for the Holy Grail. Instead, he takes their Rolls Royce. The film was set during the days of the Republic of Hatay before the region became part of Turkey. The characters were also portrayed as speaking Arabic instead of Turkish, which was also a departure from reality about the area. The scenes in the film were actually shot in Istanbul.

During a period in which Assyria saw a temporary decline, Urartu became the most powerful kingdom in the Near East. From this period a number of cuneiform tablets survive, along with a number of other implements typical of Iron Age culture. The civilization, though it collapsed in the 6th century, nevertheless played an important role in the development of Armenian culture, even as the city of Van was successively administered by other regional empires. Ruling groups included the Ottoman Empire, the Byzantines, and the Seljuk Empire.
4. Today Van is known as “The Pearl of the East” because of the natural beauty that is found there. Lake Van is Turkey’s largest lake, and it is especially interesting because it is both saline and soda water because many different streams feed into the lake, adding more than one type of water into it. The lake is also one of the biggest endorheic lakes in the world because the place where the waters were originally let out from the lake was blocked centuries ago by a volcanic eruption.
5. The city sits on very unstable ground and has been devastated by earthquakes several times in history, with the most recent one being in October 2011. An aftershock from that quake hit in November and knocked even more buildings down.

Van is the original home of the Van Cat, a breed that is known for being quite large, white, and having eyes that do not match. There is evidence that this breed of cat has been prevalent in the region for centuries, even making the list of major exports from the city during medieval times. Aside from having two differently colored eyes, the Van Cat is also distinctive because it typically does not dislike water as much as other breeds of cat. Visitors to Van can often see these cats swimming in the lake. While the Van Cat is very friendly, unfortunately it tends to howl rather than meow, so many people don't like to keep them as house pets.

WORDS WERE: You are the precious symbol of humanity and civilization, of love of country and freedom. You, the rising generation, the future is yours! We founded the Republic, and you are the ones who will defend and ensure that it thrives." He loved and honored youth, knowing that the future of Turkey is in the hands of the next generation. Recognized by many as a visionary, his optimism was absolutely contagious. His dedication to the positive direction of Turkey was evident by his attitude toward the people of the country, in particular the young people.
4. The day dedicated as Youth Day signified the beginning of the Turkish War of Independence. In beginning the process of gaining sovereignty for the Turkish people, he valued youth at the very onset. Few leaders have made their position known so clearly, though many realize on some level that their future lies within the bosom of its youth. Atatürk made this statement without reservation—the future of his country belonged to the next generation. Surely this was met with some resistance as the current adults find it hard to release the reins to a younger group of leaders. As each generation comes face-to-face with the reality that the time has come, it did seem to come more easily to Atatürk.

1. New Year's Day in Turkey
2. Just as in most of the world's celebrations, New Year's Day in Turkey is marked by a countdown to midnight and fireworks. Following the Gregorian calendar, January first is the beginning of Turkey's New Year. This is a time to enjoy a holiday and look back on things accomplished and forward to those things yet to come. In the same manner as much of the world, this opportunity to celebrate is met with exuberance and frivolity. Happy people will come outside at the midnight hour, joining in with laughter and dancing in the streets. There is some resistance to the raucous celebration, though, since it is considered a Christian custom and the vast majority of Turkey is of the Muslim faith. This is due to the misunderstanding of much of Turkey's population that the New Year's celebration is somehow attached to the Christmas season.

TURKISHCLASS101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S1 #22 - TOP 10 TURKISH HOLIDAYS AND FESTIVALS: NEW YEAR'S DAY IN TURKEY 2 3. Turkey's apprehension in recognizing a New Year's celebration has more to do with the misconception of the associated Christmas holiday than the New Year's celebration itself. Not being fully aware of the calendar day, December twenty-fifth, as the recognized birthday of Jesus, causes the Muslims in Turkey some anxiety over New Year's Day and New Year's Eve festivities. This is due, in part, to the media portrayals of the US celebrations of the New Year coinciding with the Christmas holiday. Though the citizens in the US are fully aware that there are two distinct holidays celebrated, it is not quite so clear to countries outside of the US.

1. Mevlana Festival
2. The Festival of the Whirling Dervishes, or Mevlana Festival, is a celebration commemorating the death of the thirteenth century Sufi Saint Mevlana, also known as Rumi. Rumi believed that communication with God was achieved by dance. This is the beginning of the dance of the whirling dervishes, dancers in white, swirling robes, black cloaks, and headgear which is cone-shaped. Watching the whirling dervishes, one has the impression that the dancers enter a trance-like state, and it can become mesmerizing to the audience.

The Mevlana Festival normally starts around December tenth and concludes December seventeenth each year. The celebration ends on a spectacular note as Mevlana is united in marriage with Allah. The celebration in Konya, Turkey is attended by over one million people, so if you choose to travel to Turkey in order to enjoy this celebration, it is important to make your travel plans and secure accommodations well in advance.
4. Rumi is considered one of the world's great mystic philosophers, with religious writings and poetry the most respected and beloved in Islamic culture and religions beyond Islam. His poetry is reported to be among the biggest-selling works in the US, proving that his work has an appeal well outside the culture of Muslims and Middle Eastern religions. After Mevlana died, a group called the Mevlevi brotherhood was established, calling themselves the whirling dervishes and using dance as one of the foremost means of worship ceremonies. Mevlana's contention that union with God could be attained with dance is brought to the forefront in the use of dance in worship by his followers.

Until the year 1985, the festival was organized by the Municipality of Antalya, but at this time, the Foundation for Culture, Arts and Tourism stepped up to take charge of the Festival and the promotion of its celebrations. Bringing into play at the same time, an international music festival to add more dimensions to the Orange Film Festival. Seeking to make it bigger and better was the underlying motivation for the addition of the music facet to the platform. In September 2002, the festival became an institution of its own taking the name of Antalya Culture and Arts Foundation under the direction of the Golden Orange Culture and Arts Foundation. As of 2008, the festival has been jointly organized with the Turkish Foundation of Cinema and Audio-Visual Culture, accompanied by the International Eurasia Film Festival. So, after many changes in image, the Festival returns full circle to its roots of a cinema festival, promoting Turkish cinema to the international cinema market—back to its original goal—after several side trips with other overseers.

He was born during the third century in Lycia, Greece, which is now a part of Southern Turkey. Saint Nicholas was known to be generous, and secretly gave to the poor and less fortunate without thought for repayment or recognition. He held a soft spot in his heart for children and was an inspiration to everyone that knew of his giving spirit. Many people followed his example, and so revered him that the Santa Claus legend of today is based upon his life. Saint Nicholas was persecuted for his faith and died on December 6th in 343 AD. For this reason, the Festival of Saint Nicholas begins on December 6th.
4. This festival, held in many cities throughout the region, is meant to bring a new awareness to the generosity of Saint Nicholas and to help make this a perspective of those attending the festivals. As a Bishop, Saint Nicholas was well-known for thinking of others before himself. The point of the Festival of St. Nicholas is to bring the participants to the same place in their own lives.

1. Children's Day
2. There are important days in every country's history. One of the most important in Turkey is National Sovereignty/Children's Day. This is a connection from the past to the future, and commemorates the opening of the Turkish National Assembly in 1920 during the Turkish Independence War. The designation as National Children's Day was assigned in 1929 along with the recommendation to the Institution of Children's Protection. Celebrated throughout the country as a national holiday, National Sovereignty/Children's Day marks the day that Turkey came into its own as a sovereign country. Citizens celebrate the day with many different ceremonies, both on the local and national levels.

Children's Day has been celebrated for over ninety years in Turkey, but it became recognized as a festival around the world since 1979. The world's awareness of the importance of protecting children brought this celebration to the world's stage, bringing with it subsequent celebrations as Children's Day in countries worldwide.
4. In Turkey, the celebration brings cultures and lives together around the region, melding music together under a common theme of independence and sovereignty. As the celebration in Turkey responds to two milestones, both the country's sovereignty and the protection of children, it has become a country-wide festival that notes both of these conditions. More than an Independence Day, in Turkey the celebration marks a true change from the past to the future. Reaching toward understanding and recognition of the worth of all people in the area, it is a full-country festival of a new awakening.

Open to all of Turkey's citizens, regardless of their culture or religious persuasion, the celebration is based upon an attitude of inclusion and solidarity. This festival in Turkey certainly sets the standard for a country's national citizenry. With everyone included, the festival acts as an impetus toward each person becoming a part of the bigger picture. Each person in Turkey—adults and children—are a part of the fabric of Turkey. This is an example of solidarity that has not escaped notice by the rest of the world.

1. Ramadan
2. Following the blessed month of Ramadan is the Eid ul-Fitr holiday. Beginning with the sighting of the first new moon, this holiday is both joyous and sad because it marks the end of Ramadan. As it is the end of the Ramadan fasting time, Eid ul-Fitr forbids fasting, and is celebrated by rising early, bathing if possible, and donning their best clothes as is the custom of Muslims. If one has new clothes, these are encouraged to mark the ending of Ramadan and the beginning of a new time. The holiday also has special prayers that are said only at this time, and the prayers follow the giving of alms known as Zakatul Fitr —alms given to the needy.

It is preferable, at this time, to pray outdoors, if the weather in the area permits this— following the example of the Prophet Muhammad. It is also notable that Muslims will take a different route to and from the outdoor prayer grounds. The holiday is also celebrated by giving gifts to children and to women. The holiday of Eid ul-Fitr can be called the Thanksgiving Day of believers, men and women alike. During the prayer, Muslims are directed to take note of the state of the community and a renewed feeling of sacrifice and Jihad is instilled within the congregation. Once the prayer is completed, all members will greet one another and visit in one another's homes and share the joy of the day and give thanks. This is also known as the appropriate time to share their Muslim faith with non- Muslims and invite them to enjoy their culture by joining them in their celebration.

The movie focuses on some musicians who are getting ready to play in a major military parade in a small Turkish town not far from the city of Adana. The group was formed from a number of musicians who ended up in jail because an early curfew prevented them from being able to earn enough money to get by. The region is under martial law at the time, and the commander decides to bring these musicians together to create an orchestra. Their first performance will be a special welcome ceremony for some important government leaders who will be visiting the town. As they are preparing for the performance, a daughter of one of the musicians is entangled in a political plot with her boyfriend, who decides to get the music changed from the piece they were preparing to "The Internationale," which is a song that praises socialism and that was once the anthem of the Soviet Union. The switch is meant to be part of a protest of conditions in the country.

"The Internationale," the song that was meant to be part of the protest in the Turkish film Beynelmilel, is essentially the anthem of socialism. The song has been translated from its original language of French into a number of languages. Usually those who are singing the song do so with the hand raised up in the air and the fist clenched in the salute commonly used by socialists. When the song is sung, it is usually followed by the chant, "The workers united will never be defeated." The song has also been an anthem for anarchists.

The story revolves around Yusuf, played by Toprak, who loses his factory job and moves to Istanbul so that he can stay with one of his relatives while he looks for a job. The two relatives are nothing alike, as Yusuf is practically illiterate and has not been educated and Mahmut, his relative, is a photographer who is highly educated and fairly well-off. Of course these differences result in a lot of problems getting along. Yusuf had moved to Istanbul on the assumption that he could easily get a job as a sailor, but unfortunately there are no openings so he feels lost. Interestingly enough, Mahmut has the same feeling of being lost in spite of the fact that he is very wealthy and has a well-paid job. He finds his job to be quite boring and unsatisfying for him as an artist.

Also, the Star Wars scenes that were used without permission appear distorted because they were taken from a version of the movies that was in a different format than what the makers of Dunyayi Kurtaran

Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam, herkesin bildi⌅i gibi Star Wars üçlemesinden klipleri izinsiz kullanılmasıyla ünlü olmasına ra⌅men, film yapımcıları aynı zamanda izinsiz olarak çe⇤itli bilim kurgu filmlerinden müzikler de "ödünç almı⇤tır." Raiders of Lost Ark, Planet of the Apes ve Flash Gordon müzikleri filmin çe⇤itli yerlerinde duyulabilir.

Kemal Sunal, who plays the lead role in the film Tosun Pasa, decided to go back to college while he was at the height of his acting career. However, a time of military unrest in Turkey caused his efforts to be put off until 1995. While he was in college, he was already a big star in Turkish cinema, but he attended classes just like the other students and said that he preferred it that way. When he went on to pursue his Master's degree, he chose himself and his career as his thesis topic. At his college graduation, in his speech he made a joke about getting his career underway first and then going to school.

He formed his first group, the Dynamites, in the 1960s by doing covers of classic rock songs. Next he joined a cover band that performed Elvis Presley songs. He didn't begin to write his own songs until 1967 when he created his next band Apaslar (which translates roughly to "the Rowdies" in English). This band was also the first group he performed music with in Turkish. After performing in various other bands, in 1974 the band Dervishes was formed by him, and it was the music he made with this band that made him very well-known throughout Turkey.
4. During this time, Turkey was going through much political turmoil, and the government leaders believed that Karaca was part of a separatist movement that advocated nationalism and Islam. Officials accused him of treason because his philosophy fell within the Marxist and Leninist ways of thinking. Without even knowing much about him,they bluntly claimed that he was writing songs that were inciting a revolution in Turkey. In the late 1970s, his band Dervishes was dissolved.

After he started making rap music professionally, his albums began to receive a lot of air time on Turkish radio stations. His first album featured vocals by his sister, as well as by a number of other very well-known Turkish rappers like Sagopa Kajmer, Sahtiyan, and Dr. Fuchs. His work with Dr. Fuchs under the band Nefret was extremely influential for the birth of what is now known as oriental hip hop in Germany. This new genre largely came about as the Turks who immigrated to Germany began to identify with him and his style of music more and more. This initiated the Turkish rejection of rap music created by African American rappers and the preference for rap created by Turks.
4. Ceza continued to work with many well-known Turkish musicians throughout his career, including on his 2006 album, which featured musicians like Sexen Aksu, Eko Fresh, and Samy Deluxe. The music even featured the work of German musician Afrob and American MC Tech N9ne.

In 2009 it was discovered that Tarkan is actually the singer's middle name. His first name is actually Husamettin, meaning "sword of faith." It is believed that his parents got the name Tarkan from a character in a Turkish comic book series. The character was a Hunnic warrior created in the 1940s and popularized in the late 1960s and early 1970s. His parents are killed while he is still an infant, and he ends up being raised by wolves, which makes him very powerful. He goes on to serve as a warrior for Attila the Hun, and his only companion is a wolf, which he names Kurt.

TURKISHCLASS101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S2 #23 - TOP 10 TURKISH MUSICIANS: IBRAHIM TATLISES 2 3. Tatlises was born in 1952 in a small village in Sanliurfa. His father was Kurdish, and his mother was an Arab. During his early childhood, his father died, so his mother mostly raised him on her own. He actually started his singing career by singing at the weddings in his village. When he became an adult, he got a job as a construction worker, but he continued to sing everywhere he went, even while he was working on the construction site. A business man from Adana overheard his singing and arranged for him to start singing at various nightclubs. In 1975 his first album, Ayaginda Kundura, was released, paving the way for his name to be publicly known.
4. He has also been the aim of three different attacks. In 1990 an assailant shot him in the leg, and then eight years later there was another attempt aiming for his life, which he also survived. However, in 2011 he was shot in the head and almost died. After a long four hour surgery to remove the bullet from his head, he began to slowly recover. Turkish police rounded up about twenty people who were allegedly involved in this 2011 assassination attempt on Tatlises. He spent about six months recuperating at a hospital in Germany and got married while he was still in the hospital.

His film career includes dozens of films, most of which he both acted in and directed. He also wrote the screenplay for one film and produced two others. Tatlises is also a very successful businessman and is currently running many projects in northern Iraq. One of the theories about the 2011 attempt on his life was that it had to do with one of his business deals, although police also investigated a link to the 1990 shooting that was allegedly a mafia warning because he would not make a music album for a company that was backed by them.

Yusuf's musical talent was apparent while he was still a child, and his first musical compositions were very simple tunes created when he was three years old. He took the stage for his first performance when he was nine years old. One day when his father gave him a book about playing a Persian instrument, he mastered it in just hours. His father's students had taken months to complete the same book. From then on he continued his musical training on various instruments, including many cultural instruments from the Arab world, like the oud, the setar, and the santoor.
4. When he was sixteen, Yusuf had what he called a "spiritual awakening," and he began to make it his mission to connect with disillusioned young Muslims. His first album Al-mu' allim created what is essentially a new genre of music now known as Islamic pop. More than three million copies of that album were sold, and his fan base began to grow, not just in the United Kingdom where he lived, but also throughout the Middle East, in the northern part of Africa, and also the southeastern part of Asia.
