Within this period, full stagnation has dominated Turkey-Armenia relations. Furthermore, it has been observed that the contacts made between civil society and professional organizations, which are particularly encouraged by the US, have not created any results. The issues coming to the fore from among quite a number of the issues addressed in this rather long article are summarized as follows: The importance the US attaches to the normalization of Turkey-Armenia relations is continuing. Since Barack Obama has been elected once again, it could be understood that this policy of the US will continue for the next four years. Although the desire to establish better relations between the two countries has become more apparent following the election of François Hollande as President, this time the inclusion of some EDITORIAL NOTE information in French textbooks, which only takes the Armenian views into consideration in regards to the Armenian genocide allegations, has created a new problem. It appears that the incumbent president will be elected again in the presidential election to be held in Armenia in February 2013. When considering that the Armenian Republican Party, the great partner of the Government, has won the parliamentary election, it could be deduced that in the next couple of years there will be stability in Armenia in terms of its domestic policy. On the other hand, it is believed that to what extent Armenia will join a movement to form a bloc such as the Eurasian Union and customs union led by the Russian Federation and to what extent it will develop its relations with the European Union, NATO and the US and also what kind of a policy it will follow regarding the resolution of the Karabakh conflict and the normalization of its relations with Turkey will carry priority for Armenia among its foreign policy issues in the upcoming years. Concerning the other articles, in his article entitled Caucasus 2012 Drills: Russia’s Efficacy Attempts in the Caucasus as Part of Its Security Strategies, Ali Asker focuses on the hidden political purposes of the military exercises being Review of Armenian Studies 5 No. 26, 2012 performed this year in September in Southern Russia, Abkhazia, Southern Ossetia and Armenia. In his article entitled Armenian Relocation and International Law, Yılmaz Eracar develops an interesting view that the research of the 1915 events should be conducted through a historical aspect rather than a legal aspect and indicates that since the 1948 Convention cannot be applied retroactively, it cannot be applied to the 1915 events either and furthermore, that the 1915 events can also not be considered as a crime against humanity due to the decision of relocation being taken for reasons of statute of limitations and war. Armand Sağ, in his article entitled Categorizing History: Turkish-Armenian Relations Throughout History, has divided scholars researching the Armenian Question and the Armenian genocide allegations into four categories according to their tendencies. While in the first category are those who recognize these allegations without any hesitations,

  • Some Notes on the Life of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi
    American International Journal of Available online at http://www.iasir.net Research in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences ISSN (Print): 2328-3734, ISSN (Online): 2328-3696, ISSN (CD-ROM): 2328-3688 AIJRHASS is a refereed, indexed, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary and open access journal published by International Association of Scientific Innovation and Research (IASIR), USA (An Association Unifying the Sciences, Engineering, and Applied Research) Some Notes on the Life of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi Qaisar Mohammad Lecturer, Departmnet of Higher Education, Govt. of Jammu & Kashmir, India. Abstract: Bediuzzaman Said Nursi was a profound Muslim thinker and revivalist, whose teachings (Risale-i Nur) and ideology are still being followed today. His life is full of enthusiasm and energy through his contribution to the maturation and development of Turkish society. He encountered problems similar to those faced by other Muslim thinkers in other parts of the Islamic world in the 19th century. Nursi was arrested several times and tried on charges of trying to organize an Islamic political party but he was always acquitted by the courts. He lived a life of struggle and harassment but never acted violently and never allowed his students to respond with violence unlike many other Muslim reformers and thinkers. He created a strong, but nonviolent, movement. The strong opposition of the government to religion as opposed to Nursi’s firm stand against any irreligiosity certainly made him a symbol of religious movement in Turkey. Keywords: Islamic Studies, Said Nursi, Risale-i Nur, Ottoman Empire I. Introduction Nursi was born in 1876 in Nurs, a village in township of Isparit sub province of Hizan, the province of Bitlis in the Eastern part of the Ottoman Empire.

This research examines how Turkish newspapers approached the Armenian terrorism which emerged in the years between 1973 and 1984 as the third wave since the late 19th century. The Armenian terrorist organizations officially emerged in 1975 in order to show the world their rightfulness in terms of the so-called Armenian genocide, assassinating Turkish diplomats, including ambassadors and their families, in a planned and systematic fashion within these 11 years.

The Ottoman Documents and the Genocidal Policies of the Committee for Union and Progress (_Ittihat ve Terakki) toward the Armenians in 1915 Taner Akc¸am University of Minnesota The author analyzes the Ottoman Archives as a source of information on the Armenian Genocide of 1915. He discusses the contradictory positions of two broad groups of scholars on the reliability of these archives, concluding that the Ottoman Archives agree with the information found in the archives of the United States, Britain, Germany, and Austria. He discusses the various categories of Ottoman documents, which mostly came out during the trials related to the Armenian Genocide, which took place from 1919 to 1921, and makes clear that there was a wide-ranging cleansing operation of the archives after the armistice in 1918.

Plinius, Kalkhedon’un Nikomedia’dan (‹znik) 62 mil uzakl›kta özgür bir kasaba oldu¤unu, önceden Procerastis,1 daha sonra Col- pusa ve bundan sonrada her yönden tercih edilebilen sadece 7 stadia uzakl›kta olan Byzantion’da kenti kurmay› becemediklerinden dolay› “Körler Kenti” olarak adland›r›ld›¤›n› aktarmaktad›r. Kalkhedon’un hemen yak›n›nda Khrysopolis2 ve daha sonra Nikopolis bulunmaktayd›.3 Kalkhedon’un yerini Byzantionlu Diony- sios biraz daha detayl› tarif etmektedir. Aktard›¤›na göre kent, yukar›s›nda yine Kalkhedon olarak adland›r›lan bir nehrin bulundu¤u yar›mada üzerinde kurul- mufltur ve k›sta¤›n her iki taraf›nda Do¤u ve Bat›’s›nda bir liman› ve Apollon ke- hanet oca¤› vard›r. Nehir asl›nda bir deredir ve flimdi üstünün büyük bir bölümü inflaatla kaplanm›flt›r ve Moda Körfezi’ne akmaktad›r. Kent Kad›köy Bot ‹stasyo- nu ile Moda Noktas› aras›nda yüksek bir konumda durmaktayd›. Limanlar za- manla dolmufl ve k›stak ortadan kaybolmufltur. Kentin kal›nt›lar› ‹.S. XVI. yüz- y›lda hala görülebilmekteydi. Yak›n zamanda ise Moda Noktas›nda baz› antik Yunan keramik parçalar› bulunmufltur ve eski surlar›n çok küçük bir bölümü gö- rülebilmekteydi. Ancak flu anda kentten hiçbir iz kalmad›¤› söylenebilir.4 Antik kaynaklarda kentin Megaral›lar taraf›ndan kuruldu¤u kabul görmüfltür.
