Turkey Aerospace & Defense TURKEY AEROSPACE & DEFENSE 2016 AEROSPACE TURKEY TURKEY AEROSPACE & DEFENSE 2016 Aerospace - Defense - Original Equipment Manufacturers Platforms - Clusters - Multinationals - Sub-Tier Suppliers Distinguished GBR Readers, Since the inception of the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries 30 years ago, significant steps have been taken to achieve the goals of having the Turkish armed forces equipped with modern systems and technologies and promoting the development of the Turkish defense industry. In the last decade alone, the aerospace and defense (A&D) sector's total turnover quadrupled, while exports have increased fivefold, reaching $5.1 billion and $1.65 billion in 2014, respectively. The industry's investment in research and development (R&D) reached almost $1 billion in 2014. The total workforce in the A&D industry reached 30,000 personnel, of which 30% are engineers. Even more remarkable, Turkey is now at the stage of offering its own platforms for both the local market and to international allies, and has commenced a series of follow up local programs. Although this progress has been achieved under the circumstances of a healthy and consistent political environment and in parallel with sustained growth in the Turkish economy, the proportion of expenditure for defense in the national budget and as a percentage of Turkey’s GDP has been stable. With the help of the national, multinational and joint defense industry projects that have been undertaken in Turkey by the undersecretariat, the defense industry has become a highly capable community comprising large-scale main contractors, numerous sub- system manufacturers, small- and medium-sized enterprises, R&D companies who are involved in high-tech, niche areas, research institutes, and universities. Thus, we can proudly say that we have a constantly growing and ambitious defense sector that looks ahead to achieving even greater things.

  • Dionysiac and Pyrrhic Roots and Survivals in the Zeybek Dance, Music, Costume and Rituals of Aegean Turkey
    GEPHYRA 14, 2017, 213-239 Dionysiac and Pyrrhic Roots and Survivals in the Zeybek Dance, Music, Costume and Rituals of Aegean Turkey Recep MERİÇ In Memory of my Teacher in Epigraphy and the History of Asia Minor Reinhold Merkelbach Zeybek is a particular name in Aegean Turkey for both a type of dance music and a group of com- panions performing it wearing a particular decorative costume and with a typical headdress (Fig. 1). The term Zeybek also designates a man who is brave, a tough and courageous man. Zeybeks are gen- erally considered to be irregular military gangs or bands with a hierarchic order. A Zeybek band has a leader called efe; the inexperienced young men were called kızans. The term efe is presumably the survivor of the Greek word ephebos. Usually Zeybek is preceded by a word which points to a special type of this dance or the place, where it is performed, e.g. Aydın Zeybeği, Abdal Zeybeği. Both the appellation and the dance itself are also known in Greece, where they were called Zeibekiko and Abdaliko. They were brought to Athens after 1922 by Anatolian Greek refugees1. Below I would like to explain and attempt to show, whether the Zeybek dances in the Aegean provinces of western Turkey have any possible links with Dionysiac and Pyrrhic dances, which were very popular in ancient Anatolia2. Social status and origin of Zeybek Recently E. Uyanık3 and A. Özçelik defined Zeybeks in a quite appropriate way: “The banditry activ- ities of Zeybeks did not have any certain political aim, any systematic ideology or any organized re- ligious sect beliefs.

  • Evaluations on BMC A.Ş
    Evaluations on BMC A.Ş. BMC was established in 1964 in İzmir with participation of the Özakat family combined with the technology of the English BMC Leyland Group in order to manufacture trucks, tractors, heavy and light commercial vehicles. In the early years, Austin and Morris- branded commercial vehicles were manufactured. BMC's domestic capital, which initially was at the rate of 74%, increased over the years and reached 100% in 1989 as a result of the acquisition by the Çukurova Group. Having contributed to the development of the Turkish automotive sector since it started its manufacturing in 1966, BMC manufactured its first diesel engine in Turkey and adapted petrol engines to diesel engines in 1976. In addition to motor vehicles, BMC also manufactured industrial engines, generators, marine engines and military products required by the industry. BMC is a company that exists in the automotive sector as an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and has the capability to manufacture trucks, buses, light commercial vehicles, and armored vehicles for the defense industry as well as casting parts and engines at two individual facilities. It has human resources with the capacity to create original designs and to develop new models thanks to R&D activities. The facility also has a training center and an apprenticeship school, both of which provide qualified manpower.The sales, marketing and after-sales services relating to the manufactured products are carried out in all operational markets using distribution channels and services authorized by BMC. At the facility, which is unproblematic in terms of machinery, equipment, human resources and market, manufacturing was interrupted in February of 2013 due to the financial problems.
