  • An Ottoman Global Moment
    AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History By Kahraman Sakul, M.A Washington, DC November, 18, 2009 Copyright 2009 by Kahraman Sakul All Rights Reserved ii AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT Kahraman Sakul, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: Gabor Agoston, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation aims to place the Ottoman Empire within its proper context in the Napoleonic Age and calls for a recognition of the crucial role of the Sublime Porte in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). The Ottoman-Russian joint naval expedition (1798-1800) to the Ionian Islands under the French occupation provides the framework for an examination of the Ottoman willingness to join the European system of alliance in the Napoleonic age which brought the victory against France in the Levant in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). Collections of the Ottoman Archives and Topkapı Palace Archives in Istanbul as well as various chronicles and treatises in Turkish supply most of the primary sources for this dissertation. Appendices, charts and maps are provided to make the findings on the expedition, finance and logistics more readable. The body of the dissertation is divided into nine chapters discussing in order the global setting and domestic situation prior to the forming of the second coalition, the Adriatic expedition, its financial and logistical aspects with the ensuing socio-economic problems in the Morea, the Sublime Porte’s relations with its protectorate – The Republic of Seven United Islands, and finally the post-war diplomacy.

    WORLD AIDS DAY BROLL- SCRIPT AND SHOTLIST GEORGIA – Sharing used needles among drug addicts, has been linked to about 70 percent of known HIV infections in Georgia. This is a story told by Georgia’s first recipient of free, state-sponsored anti-retroviral therapy. ARVs suppress HIV but cannot cure it. At the time of the story, October 2003, only 5 people were receiving ARVs for free, paid by the state; at least 50 people needed them. About 500 people living with HIV have registered with the government. The real total of people living with HIV could be three times that. Georgia has been granted USD 12 million over 5 years from the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, mostly to fight HIV/Aids. 00:01:00 – Caucases mountain sequence (copyright holder: Valery Odikadze). 00:01:11 – Tbilisi, wide 00:01:14 – Apartment building, exterior 00:01:17 – “Sandro” – NOT HIS REAL NAME – walks upstairs, then fills generator, sequence 00:01:40 – Sandro speaks, 2/3 back to camera, at window 00:01:49 – people in streets of Tbilisi, various social strata, mostly young men 00:02:23 – Sandro speaks 00:02:27 – Heroin preparation in car & syringe discarded, sequence 00:02:54 – Sandro speaks 00:03:00 – Sandro walking, various (seen below hips only) 00:03:10 – Sandro, face not visible, crosses parking lot, ambulance in view 00:03:13 – camera, as “Sandro” walks down AIDS Centre corridor 00:03:16 – blood test sequence with nurse, UNAIDS poster, CU of test tube filling. 00:03:36 – Dr.

    JOURNAL FOR IRANIAN STUDIES Specialized Studies A Peer-Reviewed Quarterly Periodical Journal Year 2, issue 6, March 2018 ISSUED BY The ambition of minorities and the future of the regime in Iran Rania Makram Researcher at Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies he elite, which assumed the role of building the Iranian state following the success of the T Islamic Revolution in 1979, wanted the identity of the state to be religious, giving an upper hand to the Persian ethnicity. The state shall be Islamic, Shiite, Persian despite the complicated structure of the Iranian society, where there are a lot of religions, languages, ethnicities, which took part in the revolution and before the religious current dominated it. This constituted an evident exclusion of the rest of the factions in society who are not Shiite Persian Muslims. Journal for Iranian Studies 35 This selectiveness turned the diversity of society into a challenge facing the regime and the state, instead of being a bonus to enrich society and strengthen the state. The demographic diversity of the state does not necessarily represent a threat to it. The policies adopted by the state towards minorities are the basis on which the relationship between the state and those minorities is shaped. We can say the constitutional framework that regulates the status of some minorities, the political rhetoric addressed to them and the practices on the ground did not guarantee equal rights on the same footing with the Persian ethnicity. This was due to the suspension of the constitutional provisions related to minorities or the nonexistence of constitutional provisions that enable ethnic minorities to gain rights in administering their own affairs.
