Diyarbak›r city walls (5) 202 Another Look at East and Southeast of Turkey Most tourists are naturally drawn to the old city, encircled by huge walls of black stone and overlooking the quiet Hevsel Gardens and farmlands of the Tigris Valley to the east. It’s possible to ascend various sections of the wall for great views of the surrounding countryside as well as the bustling streets within the old city. Here you will also find a number of attractive old mosques as well as two fully opened churches and some ruined ones, bearing mute witness to the now largely vanished Christian community. Things seemed more multicultural to the traveller Edmund Naumann, visit- ing in 1890, who described seeing “dervishes in fantastic clothes, religious Keldanimen [Chaldean Christians]… Turks and Christians and still many others… An Armenian shoe Far view of the walls (6) shop, with red, yellow and green leathers at the front and a lot of Diyarbak›r City Armenians working inside was beauti- ful enough to inspire one to point.” It is the largest city of not just eastern Today the diversity is less obvious, Turkey but the whole Kurdish-speak- though it is there in the presence of ing world, what is significant about the Kurmanji- and Zazaki-speaking Kurds, city’s obvious pride in its Kurdish iden- ethnic Turkish students and a small tity is that it has given Diyarbak›r the Arab minority.

The tradition of the divanhane among the Turks first appeared in the palaces of the Qarakhaniyan, Ghaznavid and Great Seljuks. The tradition of the divanhane continued in Anatolia in the Seljuk palaces and kiosks and was al so widely embraced in Ottoman architecture. The classic Ottoman divanhane was one in which the preference was a three - iwan layout containing a domed fountain in the central space that led into the open area of the “sofa ” . The aim of this article is to pres ent the layout scheme of the “three - iwan” divanhane, which was one of the divanhane layouts of Ottoman architecture that was used as from the end of the 17th century, not only for pavilions and kiosks, but also in residential plans of mansions (konaks).

  • Genealogy of the Concept of Securitization and Minority Rights
    THE KURD INDUSTRY: UNDERSTANDING COSMOPOLITANISM IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY by ELÇIN HASKOLLAR A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School – Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Global Affairs written under the direction of Dr. Stephen Eric Bronner and approved by ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ Newark, New Jersey October 2014 © 2014 Elçin Haskollar ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Kurd Industry: Understanding Cosmopolitanism in the Twenty-First Century By ELÇIN HASKOLLAR Dissertation Director: Dr. Stephen Eric Bronner This dissertation is largely concerned with the tension between human rights principles and political realism. It examines the relationship between ethics, politics and power by discussing how Kurdish issues have been shaped by the political landscape of the twenty- first century. It opens up a dialogue on the contested meaning and shape of human rights, and enables a new avenue to think about foreign policy, ethically and politically. It bridges political theory with practice and reveals policy implications for the Middle East as a region. Using the approach of a qualitative, exploratory multiple-case study based on discourse analysis, several Kurdish issues are examined within the context of democratization, minority rights and the politics of exclusion. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, archival research and participant observation. Data analysis was carried out based on the theoretical framework of critical theory and discourse analysis. Further, a discourse-interpretive paradigm underpins this research based on open coding. Such a method allows this study to combine individual narratives within their particular socio-political, economic and historical setting.

  • Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Aquatic Insects in the Dicle (Tigris) River Basin, Turkey, with New Records
    Turkish Journal of Zoology Turk J Zool (2017) 41: 102-112 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/zoology/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/zoo-1512-56 Spatial and temporal distribution of aquatic insects in the Dicle (Tigris) River Basin, Turkey, with new records Fatma ÇETİNKAYA, Aysel BEKLEYEN* Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Dicle University, Diyarbakır, Turkey Received: 21.12.2015 Accepted/Published Online: 01.06.2016 Final Version: 25.01.2017 Abstract: We investigated insects of the Dicle (Tigris) River Basin in terms of their composition and spatiotemporal distribution. Larvae, pupae, pupal exuviae, and nymphs of insects were obtained from samples collected by a plankton net monthly during a 1-year period in 2008 and 2009 at seven different sites of the Dicle (Tigris) River Basin. A total of 35 taxa from the orders Trichoptera (1 taxon), Ephemeroptera (3 taxa), and Diptera (31 taxa) were identified. Chironomidae (Diptera) was the most diverse group and was represented by three major subfamilies, namely Tanypodinae (2 taxa), Orthocladiinae (19 taxa), and Chironominae (7 taxa). Among these species, Nanocladius (Nanocladius) spiniplenus Saether, 1977 is a new record for Turkey as well as for western Asia. In addition, the Psychomyia larvae found for the first time in the Dicle (Tigris) River Basin (Turkey) were described. Both taxa have been illustrated to warrant validation. Taxa number varied spatially from 6 to 14 and temporally from 2 to 12 during the sampling period. Along the river, Cricotopus bicinctus and Orthocladius (S.) holsatus were the most common taxa. Key words: Diptera, Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Insecta, Dicle (Tigris) River 1.

  • Arch Bridges in East Blacksea Region of Turkey and Effects of Infill Materials on a Sample Bridge
    Arch bridges in East Blacksea Region of Turkey and effects of infill materials on a sample bridge A. Ural and A. Doğangün Karadeniz Technical University, Department of Civil Engineering, Trabzon, Turkey ABSTRACT: Arch bridges are one of the most invaluable historical heritages of almost all countries in the world. In Turkey, there are so many masonry arch bridges of different periods, which are protected by the state and have the status of “Cultural Heritage”. However, most of them have been suffered due to natural hazards like floods, earthquakes and time deformations etc. This paper presents the general characteristics of historical stone arch bridges located in the East Blacksea Region of Turkey and investigating the infill effects on the general behavior of a sample bridge with changing the infill and arch material parameters respectively. Finite element method is used for the case study and the model has been assumed as macro modeling proce- dure due to the excessive number of nodes. Obtained results from the analyses indicate that the infill strongly affects the general behavior of the stone arch bridge. 1 INTRODUCTION Anatolia (Turkey) has been hosted various civilizations throughout centuries and it has become one of the oldest settlements all over the world due to the geographical location. Thus, it has ac- commodated innumerable historical structures remain from the past civilizations. Stone arch bridges are one of the most invaluable historical structures between them. However, they have been frequently damaged or collapsed due to the natural disasters and also manmade damages. Stone arch bridges in Anatolia have generally not given the importance they deserve.

  • Surlari Ve Türk Dönemi Dokusuyla Diyarbakir Kenti
    2465 SURLARI VE TÜRK DÖNEMİ DOKUSUYLA DİYARBAKIR KENTİ PARLA, Canan* TÜRKİYE/ТУРЦИЯ ÖZET Kuruluşundan Osmanlı hâkimiyetine geçişine kadar çoğunluğu savaş, çok azı anlaşmayla olmak üzere, sık sık hâkimiyet değiştiren kente hâkim olanların, ilkin sur duvarlarının onarılmasıyla ilgilendikleri, duvar ve burçların üzerine yerleştirilen kitabelerden takip edilebilmektedir. Bu nedenle Diyarbakır suru ile iç kalesini, kentin savaş tarihinden ayrı tutarak incelemek imkânsızdır. Zaman içerisinde değişik adlarla anılan kente, bilindiği kadarıyla, ilk kez Amedi adını verenler Asurlulardır. Bölgenin yerleşim tarihi MÖ 7.000’li yıllarda başlatılmakla beraber kentin kuruluşunun ne kadar eskiye dayandığı tam olarak tespit edilememektedir. Aralardaki 8 yıllık Eyyübi, 21 yıllık İlhanlı, 10 yıllık Timurlu ve 3 yıllık Safavi Dönemleri haricinde Büyük Selçuklu hâkimiyetine geçtiği 1086 yılından bu güne kadar Türk kenti olan Diyarbakır’ın, Türk Dönemi dokusunun açıkladığı bu çalışmada, zorunlu olarak başlangıçtan Osmanlı Dönemi sonuna kadar geçen süreç irdelenmekte, kitabe metinleri ile yapıları dikkate alınarak kentin fizikî yapısı açıklanmaktadır.

ABSTRACT The Walls and The Turkish Era Structure of The Diyarbakir City It could be traced through the inscription panels on the walls and towers that the restoration of the city walls were the main occupation of the various rulers just after they took over the city mainly and frequently with wars and rarely with agreements since its first establishment until the times of Ottoman rule. For this reason it is impossible to evaluate the city walls and the inner citadel by separating its history of wars.

  • 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.
