  • The End of the Greek Millet in Istanbul
    THE END OF THE GREEK MILLET IN ISTANBUL Stanford f. Shaw HE o cc u PAT I o N o F Is TAN B u L by British, French, Italian, and Greek forces following signature of the Armistice of Mondros (30 October 1918) was supposed to be a temporary measure, to last until the Peace Conference meeting in Paris decided on the finaldisposition of Tthat city as well as of the entire Ottoman Empire. From the start, however, the Christian religious and political leaders in Istanbul and elsewhere in what remained of the Empire, often encouraged by the occupation forces, stirred the Christian minorities to take advantage of the occupation to achieve greater political aims. Greek nationalists hoped that the occupation could be used to regain control of "Constantinople" and annex it to Greece along with Izmir and much of western Anatolia. From the first day of the armistice and occupation, the Greek Patriarch held daily meetings in churches throughout the city arousing his flock with passionate speeches, assuring those gathered that the long­ held dream of restoring Hellenism to "Constantinople" would be realized and that "Hagia Sophia" (Aya Sofya) would once again serve as a cathedral. The "Mavri Mira" nationalist society acted as its propaganda agency in Istanbul, with branches at Bursa and Band1rma in western Anatolia and at K1rkkilise (Kirklareli) and Tekirdag in Thrace. It received the support of the Greek Red Cross and Greek Refugees Society, whose activities were supposed to be limited to helping Greek refugees.• Broadsides were distributed announcing that Istanbul was being separated from the Ottoman Empire.

    Different Matrilineal Contributions to Genetic Structure of Ethnic Groups in the Silk Road Region in China Yong-Gang Yao,*1 Qing-Peng Kong,* à1 Cheng-Ye Wang,*à Chun-Ling Zhu,* and Ya-Ping Zhang* *Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Evolution, and Molecular Biology of Domestic Animals, Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming, China; Laboratory for Conservation and Utilization of Bio-resource, Yunnan University, Kunming, China; and àGraduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China Previous studies have shown that there were extensive genetic admixtures in the Silk Road region. In the present study, we analyzed 252 mtDNAs of five ethnic groups (Uygur, Uzbek, Kazak, Mongolian, and Hui) from Xinjiang Province, China (through which the Silk Road once ran) together with some reported data from the adjacent regions in Central Asia. In a simple way, we classified the mtDNAs into different haplogroups (monophyletic clades in the rooted mtDNA tree) according to the available phylogenetic information and compared their frequencies to show the differences among Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/mbe/article/21/12/2265/1071048 by guest on 27 September 2021 the matrilineal genetic structures of these populations with different demographic histories. With the exception of eight unassigned M*, N*, and R* mtDNAs, all the mtDNA types identified here belonged to defined subhaplogroups of haplogroups M and N (including R) and consisted of subsets of both the eastern and western Eurasian pools, thus providing direct evidence supporting the suggestion that Central Asia is the location of genetic admixture of the East and the West.

Also, the reflection of this rapprochement process on the Balkans is studied. The aim of the work is to reveal the process of rapprochement, which was realized by Venizelos and Ataturk with the effort of setting an example to the world, in order to establish real peace between the two countries which had recently fought with each other. In addition to this, it is aimed to show the reflection of this pragmatist and constructive policies on the Greek-Turkish relations and Balkan geopolitics. In this context, the basic research question of the study is to analyze how the leadership nature of Venizelos and Ataturk influenced Greek-Turkish rapprochement. This work claims as a basic argument that the peace- based period which Venizelos and Ataturk established was the most important period of Greek- Turkish rapprochement.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT This section describes the economic situation of rural regions, with a focus agriculture and tourism. - GDP per head in rural regions is lower than in urban regions but catching up GDP per head is generally lower in rural and intermediate regions than in urban regions. In the EU-27, average GDP per head in rural regions was 75% of the EU average, in intermediate regions it was 88% while in urban regions, it was 125%. The gap is particularly large in eastern and central European Member States, like Slovakia, Romania, Hungary or Bulgaria where some urban regions (notably the capital city regions) developed at an extremely fast pace of economic growth. Figure 1 GDP per head (PPS), 2018 (Index EU-27=100, by urban-rural regional typology) Source: Eurostat online data table (nama_10r_3gdp) and JRC ARDECO database. Note the high value for GDP per head in Irish urban regions is due in part to the move of intellectual property rights. Although significantly lower than the cities in terms of wealth, rural regions have been catching up in relative terms with the rest of the Union.

  • An Encounter Between East and West: the Notion of Truth in William James and Swami Vivekananda by Christopher Zajner a Thesis Su
    An Encounter between East and West: The Notion of Truth in William James and Swami Vivekananda By Christopher Zajner A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Philosophy in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada February, 2020 Copyright © Christopher Zajner, 2020 Abstract William James considered Swami Vivekananda the exemplary example of a monist, and he comes to reject Vivekananda’s philosophy because it ultimately did not suit his active temperament. However, judging from his assessment of Vivekananda’s philosophy, it appears James had a limited understanding of Vedanta. It can be speculated that James’s understanding of Vedanta was mainly the aspect of Raja Yoga (the science of psychic control) – which is evinced by the fact that he disagrees with what he perceives as a lack of ability to justify meliorism and a zestful life. But this understanding leaves out of account Karma Yoga or the active principle of Vedanta – which advocates work as the means to realize the divine. Contra James’s conception, it is more illustrative to understand Vedanta not as a doctrine of extreme ‘monism’, but rather an attitude which cultivates every particular temperament and disposition. i Acknowledgments I would like to thank Prof. Ram Murty for inspiring me to pursue this topic, his encouragement as well as his continuing insightful comments. Thank you also to my readers, prof. Paul Fairfield and prof. David Bakhurst for their comments and perspectives on this project. Thank you as well to the Queen’s philosophy community which has afforded me the opportunity to pursue this topic.

    Three Lectures by Professor Dr. Dimitri Kitsikis Department of History, University of Ottawa, Fellow, Royal Society of Canada, Honoray President of the Dimitri Kitsikis Public Foundation, Athens delivered at Zhongshan University, Guangzhou (15, 17 and 21 December 2010) Remark: For information on the speaker, his biography, bibliography, thought and activity, you may consult the following weblinks: http://www.idkf.gr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimitri_Kitsikis http://www.history.uottawa.ca/faculty/prof_kitsikis.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_Region http://www.intermediateregion.com (Important: For the presentation of these three lectures a large wall world map and a blackboard to write on will be needed) The Importance of Greek Language for World Civilization (First Lecture, Zhuhai campus, 15 December 2010) There are only two world civilizations on this planet i.e. the Chinese and the Greek. All others are just cultures. For each of these two civilizations corresponds one language, the Chinese language for Chinese civilization, the Greek language for the rest of the world (the Intermediate Region and the West). The Greek language, like the Chinese is unique in its writing and its structure because it spans over a period of three thousand years without basically changing. Even though some linguists, influenced by Western linguistic theories have distinguished three main forms of the Greek language, i.e. ancient, Jesus Christ Greek and modern, in fact there is only one Greek from Homer to today. All European languages have as their basis Greek, either directly or through Latin. It is not an exaggeration to say that English or French are Greek dialects.
