  • Yunus Emre (Ca. 1238 - 1320)
    Yunus Emre (ca. 1238 - 1320) There is a strong challenge inherent in any attempt to describe a great and influential personality like Yunus Emre in a condensed form such as this. We will, therefore only make an attempt to give an introduction to the man and his philosophy which will tempt you into further reading. Wherever possible we will allow Yunus to speak for himself. Mystic is what they call me, Hate is my only enemy; I harbor a grudge against none, To me the whole wide world is one. Yunus Emre was a great folk poet, a sufi (Islamic mystic), a troubadour and a very influential philosopher who had an effect on the Turkish outlook on life that has stayed alive and vital for 700 years. Above all, and in an age of religious repression, he was a humanist who’s love for God was integral to his love for humanity. His abhorrence for conflict and his dismissive attitude to riches and material assets have been echoed through the ages, not least in the ’flower power’ era of the 1960s and 70s. I am not here on earth for strife Love is the mission of my life. Yunus Emre was more concerned with the reason for living than with the details of how life should be lived. Essentially he thought that people should live modest lives filled with love and friendship, aspiring towards spiritual purity and an indivisible unity with God. He despised the pursuit of fame and riches because none of these could mean anything after death. Death is a recurring theme in his poetry but without morbid overtones.

  • Turkish Literature from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Turkish Literature
    Turkish literature From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Turkish literature By category Epic tradition Orhon Dede Korkut Köroğlu Folk tradition Folk literature Folklore Ottoman era Poetry Prose Republican era Poetry Prose V T E A page from the Dîvân-ı Fuzûlî, the collected poems of the 16th-century Azerbaijanipoet Fuzûlî. Turkish literature (Turkish: Türk edebiyatı or Türk yazını) comprises both oral compositions and written texts in the Turkish language, either in its Ottoman form or in less exclusively literary forms, such as that spoken in the Republic of Turkey today. The Ottoman Turkish language, which forms the basis of much of the written corpus, was influenced by Persian and Arabic and used the Ottoman Turkish alphabet. The history of the broader Turkic literature spans a period of nearly 1,300 years. The oldest extant records of written Turkic are the Orhon inscriptions, found in the Orhon River valley in central Mongolia and dating to the 7th century. Subsequent to this period, between the 9th and 11th centuries, there arose among the nomadic Turkic peoples of Central Asia a tradition of oral epics, such as the Book of Dede Korkut of the Oghuz Turks—the linguistic and cultural ancestors of the modern Turkish people—and the Manas epic of the Kyrgyz people. Beginning with the victory of the Seljuks at the Battle of Manzikert in the late 11th century, the Oghuz Turks began to settle in Anatolia, and in addition to the earlier oral traditions there arose a written literary tradition issuing largely—in terms of themes, genres, and styles— from Arabic and Persian literature.

  • Alcoholic Beverages Sector Report Turkey
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 4/29/2013 GAIN Report Number: Turkey Post: Istanbul Alcoholic Beverages Sector Report Report Categories: Product Brief Approved By: Jess Paulson, Agriculture Attaché Prepared By: Meliha Atalaysun, Ag. Marketing Assistant Report Highlights: Sales of alcoholic drinks have more than doubled since 2000, with 614 million liters to 1.127 billion liters in 2012. Growth has slowed over the last five years to an annual increase of about 10%. During this five-year period whiskey registered the highest increase with 170%, followed by vodka with 71%, wine with 49% and beer with 8%. This growth is supported by rising disposable income among a growing middle class. The majority of this consumption is in tourist resorts and in large cities where the concentration of young people is high and the influence of western culture is stronger. Strong conservative views on alcohol generally limit sales in many rural areas. General Information: Sector Situation The relatively you average age in Turkey is expected to support continued growth in this sector as the younger Turks account for the major part of alcohol consumption. This growth is despite increased prices as a result of frequent increases in Turkey’s Special Consumption Tax (OTV). While rakı, a traditional aniseed-flavored spirit remains popular in many rural areas and among the middle aged and older consumers, beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage among younger people due to the fact that it is cheaper and suitable for consumption at anytime, anywhere.
