  • Toponimys with Ancient Turk Origins in the Balkans
    IBAC 2012 vol.2 TOPONIMYS WITH ANCIENT TURK ORIGINS IN THE BALKANS Prof .Ass. Hajiyeva GALIBA Nakhchivan State Univresity, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract One of the sources dealing with the ancient Turkic history are toponyms. Toponymic investigations show that most of the ancient geographical names which have spread in Eurosia, in Central Asia, from North Africa, to Eastern Turkistan even in Siberia and these names were formed before Roman and Byzantine periods. So development of toponymic investigations, study of the history of Turkic peoples and scientific investigation of existing geographical names which keep the history of Turkic peoples have great significance. One of the uninvestigated fields of the Turkic history are geographical names keeping historical facts within are the holy Balkan areas. The toponymic investigations carried on the Balkans show that these territories are the places were the ancient Turkic tribes were firstly settled and possessed. This fact is proved by the Turkic tribe names and by the words of different semantic meaning of the languages of Turkic tribes. The great deal of Balkan geographical names are the names derived out of ethnoniyms thus the names reflecting ancient Turkic tribe names (Astipos//Astepe//Ishtip, Izletdere, Vardar, Sofular, Gilan, Sahsuvar kariyesi, Kosalar village, Tatarli kariyesi, in the Kosova, Uskup, Usturumca, Kumanova, Propishtip, Kochana, Makedonska Kamenika in Makedony, Araz district, Arazli, Azman, Cepine, Coban, Chorlu, Culfalar, Horozlar, Kangirlar, Sakarli, Sungurlar, Karuk, Kaspi, Kaz//Kas, Kazancilar, Kecililer, Kuman, Padarlar, Sofular, Tatar, Uzlar in Bulgaria) show that Balkans historically were Turkic areas. Geographical names are the real witnesses of history. We must pay great attention to the scientific investigations of the geographical names in Balkan states.

  • 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.

  • Yüzey Araştırmalar Işığında Erzurum Pasinler İlçesinde Tespit Edilen Obsidyen Merkezleri Ve Atölyeleri
    MANAS Sosyal Araştırmalar Dergisi 2021 Cilt: 10 Sayı: 3 MANAS Journal of Social Studies 2021 Volume: 10 No: 3 ISSN: 1694-7215 Research Paper / Araştırma Makalesi Yüzey Araştırmalar Işığında Erzurum Pasinler İlçesinde Tespit Edilen Obsidyen Merkezleri ve Atölyeleri Alpaslan CEYLAN1 ve Seval AKÇELİK2 Öz Kuzeydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi, jeolojik yapısı nedeniyle önemli obsidyen yataklarına ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Ana hatlarıyla Erzurum-Kars Platosu’nda bulunan volkanik sahalar, bölgenin temel obsidyen kaynaklarını oluşturmaktadır. Erzurum’un batısında yer alan Söğütlü’nün kuzeyindeki tepelik alanlar, Palandöken Dağı’nın güneybatısı, Pasinler ve çevresi obsidyen yataklarının tespit edildiği önemli arazilerdir. Pasinler ilçesi jeolojik karakterini, Pliosen sonu ve Pleistosen içinde meydana gelen tektonik hareketler sonucunda kazanmıştır. İlçe ve yakın çevresinde andezit, bazalt ve obsidyen gibi dış püskürük kayaçlar geniş bir yayılım göstermektedir. Bölgede 1998 yılında başladığımız yüzey araştırmalarında çalışma sahalarımızdan biri de Pasinler olmuştur. Pasinlerde yaptığımız çalışmalarda çok sayıda keramik ve obsidyen tespit edilmiştir. Gelişmiş obsidyen analiz yöntemlerine rağmen çalışma alanımızda bulunan merkezlerin sadece birkaçından alınan örneklerin analizleri yapılmıştır. İlçe ve yakın çevresinde Kotandüzü, Pelitli ve Tımar gibi önemli obsidyen merkezlerinin yanı sıra Cin Kalesi, Çalıyazı Kalesi, Kavuşturan Kalesi ve Sos Höyük’te yapılan araştırmalarda bu merkezlerin de önemli birer obsidyen atölyesi olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

  • 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.

    ISSN 1519-6984 (Print) ISSN 1678-4375 (Online) THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON NEOTROPICAL BIOLOGY THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY AND ENVIRONMENT Original Article An assessment of the urban water footprint and blue water scarcity: A case study for Van (Turkey) Uma avaliação da pegada hídrica urbana e da escassez de água azul: um estudo de caso para Van, Turquia C. 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.
