  • October 23, 2011 Eastern Turkey, M7.2 Earthquake
    October 23, 2011 Eastern Turkey, M7.2 Earthquake OVERVIEW On October 23, 2011 at 13:41:21 pm local time, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck eastern Turkey. The quake’s epicenter was near the city of Van close to the Iran border. One of the hardest hit area included Ercis, an eastern town of approximately 75,000. The Turkish Interior Minister reported that 80 multi-story buildings in Ercis collapsed including a dormitory. In Van province (population 1 million), the Turkish Disaster Emergency Administration’s current count is 2,262 collapsed buildings, 366 deaths and 1,301 injuries. Many other buildings also collapsed in the district of Celebibag, near Ercis, including student dormitories and hotels. SEISMICITY AND HISTORY The tectonics of Turkey is controlled by the interactions of the Arabian and African plates with the Anatolian and Eurasian plates. The North Anatolian Fault represents the boundary between the west-moving Anatolian Plate and the stable Eurasian Plate. Combined right lateral movement on the North Anatolian Fault and left lateral movement on the East Anatolian Fault, allows the Anatolian Plate to escape westward into the Aegean Sea in response to the northward movement of the Arabian Plate. According to the USGS, yesterday's earthquake epicenter was 16 km north-northeast of Van in eastern Turkey, which places it near the junction of the two Anatolian faults. Here, the tectonic activity is dominated by the Bitlis Suture Zone – a broad zone of compression caused by the collision of the Arabian and Eurasian plates. This earthquake is a reminder of the many deadly seismic events that Turkey has suffered in the recent past.

  • Turkey 2020 Human Rights Report
    TURKEY 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Turkey is a constitutional republic with an executive presidential system and a unicameral 600-seat parliament (the Grand National Assembly). In presidential and parliamentary elections in 2018, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe observers expressed concern regarding restrictions on media reporting and the campaign environment, including the jailing of a presidential candidate that restricted the ability of opposition candidates to compete on an equal basis and campaign freely. The National Police and Jandarma, under the control of the Ministry of Interior, are responsible for security in urban areas and rural and border areas, respectively. The military has overall responsibility for border control and external security. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over law enforcement officials, but mechanisms to investigate and punish abuse and corruption remained inadequate. Members of the security forces committed some abuses. Under broad antiterror legislation passed in 2018 the government continued to restrict fundamental freedoms and compromised the rule of law. Since the 2016 coup attempt, authorities have dismissed or suspended more than 60,000 police and military personnel and approximately 125,000 civil servants, dismissed one-third of the judiciary, arrested or imprisoned more than 90,000 citizens, and closed more than 1,500 nongovernmental organizations on terrorism-related grounds, primarily for alleged ties to the movement of cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom the government accused of masterminding the coup attempt and designated as the leader of the “Fethullah Terrorist Organization.” Significant human rights issues included: reports of arbitrary killings; suspicious deaths of persons in custody; forced disappearances; torture; arbitrary arrest and continued detention of tens of thousands of persons, including opposition politicians and former members of parliament, lawyers, journalists, human rights activists, and employees of the U.S.

Yerli1* https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8601-8791, U. Sahin2 1Van Yuzuncu Yil University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Biosystem Engineering, Van, Turkey 2University of Ataturk, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Agricultural Structures and Irrigation, Erzurum, Turkey Abstract Today, most of the world’s population faces water scarcity, while global warming, urbanization, industrialization and population increases continue to increase the severity of the pressure on water resources. Management of water resources plays a key role in the sustainability of agricultural production. The water footprint (WF) is different in comparison to other water statistics because it takes direct and indirect water consumption into account, and helps in the management of water resources. Within this context, the WF of Van province, which is Turkey’s most easterly located arid region, was calculated from 2004 to 2019. The study area covers lake Van, which is Turkey’s largest lake, and the Van basin with an area of 23.334 km2 and a population of 1.136.757 (2019). In the calculations, crop (WFcrop), livestock (WFlivestock), and domestic and industrial water footprints (WFdomestic+industrial) were evaluated separately, and blue and green water footprints (WFblue and WFgreen) were analyzed in detail. According to the results, the average WF of Van province was found to be 8.73 billion m3 year-1.

  • Some Cashmere Characteristics of Hair Goats Raised in Van Province
    Austral J Vet Sci 50, 125-128 (2018) ORIGINAL ARTICLE Some cashmere characteristics of hair goats raised in Van province Selçuk S. Tuncer* ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to uncover certain physical properties of cashmere fibres obtained from goat hair in Van, Turkey, and determine their usability in the textile sector. For this purpose 36 hair goats were studied, aged between two and three years old, obtained from breeders at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University Livestock Facilities and the Özalp and Başkale districts of Van, with twelve goats being taken from each breeder. The sample of hairs were collected by combing three areas of the goat’s body (shoulder, flank and rump). The analysis indicated that the cashmere length of two-year-old hair goats was longer than that of three-year-old hair goats. There was no linear relationship between the differences among cashmere elasticity and yield properties and the altitude levels of the districts. It was determined that the fibre diameter of the cashmere of hair goats in Van was acceptable for the textile sector and competitive with major cashmere-producing countries. Key words: cashmere features, hair goat, Van province. INTRODUCTION and Stephenson 1968). However, it is possible to produce cashmere wool from other breeds rather than this one The cashmere produced from goats is a raw material specific variety. The goats producing the above-mentioned that has been used in the textile industry for centuries; fibre in Europe and Asia are geographically concentrated these materials, in turn, constitute raw materials in the between 35-55° north latitude and 50-120° east longitude.
