  • Virtual Assyria Dan Lundberg
    Virtual Assyria Dan Lundberg (The content of this site is based on data collected 1996-1997) Illustration: Ann Ahlbom Sundqvist Introduction (2010) Some comments on the re-publishing of this study of Assyrian cultural activities on the Internet – more than 10 years later. This study is based on fieldwork and other data collections that I conducted during the second half of the 1990s. I can truly say that I was impressed by all the web enthusiasts that were striving to create a transnational Assyrian community – a "cyber nation" on the Internet. However, the development has been incredibly fast during the last decades and today (2010) it is hard to imagine the almost science fictional impression that ideas about cyber communities gave back in the nineties. When looking back at the development of the Internet it seems as if the "cyber space" that was announced on the home page of Nineveh On-line 1997 has become less virtual over the years. Today we are living in both worlds – using the Internet for shopping, reading, finding information, communication, playing, dating, etc, etc.The boarder between virtual and real often appears to be diffuse and in fact, not so important any more. Svenskt visarkiv shut down this website in 2008 because we felt we could no longer guarantee that all links were relevant and functioning. The lifespan of articles online can sometimes be quite short. However, we have received many requests to publish it again, an indication that the content is still regarded as important. This new edition has some corrected links and dead links have been deleted, but otherwise the text has not been changed at all.

  • Reflections on Midyat and Tur Abdin 1
    Reflections on Midyat and Tur Abdin 1 Martin van Bruinessen, Utrecht University It is a great pleasure to have been invited to this symposium and it is an honour for me to introduce and moderate this first panel. Until very recently, I would have thought that a symposium like this, which its emphasis on the ethnic and religious diversity of the city and district of Midyat, would be impossible in Turkey, and I am happy to be a witness of important changes in public discourse in Turkey, away from the fiction of a homogenous nation and towards a recognition of diversity as a source of pride. Perhaps you will allow me to make a few personal comments, on how my own encounter with Midyat helped me to rethink some of my own preconceived ideas on the identity of the people of this region. Some of you may know me because of my writings on Kurdish society and history, on which I began research in the mid-1970s. A few visits to Midyat that I made in that period helped me to reframe the way I should look at the social and cultural dynamics of the entire region of Turkey and its neighbours. In those days, the fiction that everyone in Turkey is a Turk was still upheld by many people, including some of the Kurds whom I met. I was aware that this fiction was being challenged by an emerging Kurdish movement. But at the same time, I had myself an equally simplistic idea of the ethnic identity of Eastern Turkey, believing that there lived mainly two peoples in the country, Turks and Kurds, and only a few pockets of remaining Christian communities.

  • What Happened to the Turkish Assyrians?
    http://www.aina.org/turkish.htm What happened to the Turkish Assyrians? Turkish Daily News, Thursday, August 29, 1996 It got all mixed up when the investigators who had called the Kurds Mountain Turks’ named the Assyrians ‘Semite-Turks’ in order to make them ‘Turks’ The 45,000 Assyrians who wanted democracy emigrated from Turkey. Today, there are just 5,000 left By Jan Pacal Turkish Daily News / ISTANBUL Despite the definition used by political leaders of a "colorful mosaic Turkey," the fading and disappearing of those colors cannot be hidden any more-and the most blatant example of colors that are about to disappear altogether are the 45,000 Assyrians out of a total of 50,000 who have emigrated from Turkey in the last 20 years. The number of Assyrians in Turkey today is about 5,000. This population is limited to the big cities only because every single once-Assyrian village has now become a ghost town. The Assyrians have been forced to look for a future outside Turkey. The villages that were burnt, unequal education, pressures-many problems can be listed now-all served to push them into searching for a country in which they could live in a more democratic way. It will be enough to look at recent history without rose-tinted spectacles to see and judge all these developments in a more objective way. A Citizen My Dear Minister, I wonder if Abdullah Ocalan is circumcised or not? The evidence I am bringing to your attention here implicates a singer. His name is Coskun Sabah.

  • Mardin from Tales to Legends 2
    1 MARDİN FROM TALES TO LEGENDS 2 künye 3 MARDİN FROM TALES TO LEGENDS 4 Introduction Mesopotamia is among those few names in the world that almost everyone is familiar with. Think of a region that is the birthplace of many tools, philosophies, systems and religions. Think of a region that so much that it pioneered has been adopted throughout the world and has played such an important role in shaping everyday lives. Imagine a place which witnessed so much for the first time: first writing system, first state, first city, first water irrigation sysems, first law and many more. Mardin situated right at the centre of this incredibly rich region can therefore be seen as a fortunate city, blessed in history. It has Anatolia on one side and Mesopotamia on the other, an ancient region which transported so many innovations that had originated in the Middle East to the western world. Despite the common assumption, the word Mesopotamia is not of Middle Eastern origin. It comes from the ancient Greek root words mesos (middle) and potamia (rivers) literally meaning “(land) between rivers.” It is curious that although writing was introduced in the region almost 3000 years earlier than in Greece, the region’s name is of Greek origin rather than a Middle Eastern language. In Syriac, Mesopotamia is called Beth Nahrin. Composed of the words beth (house, land) and nahrin (two rivers), it literally means “the land of/between two rivers.” Based on this, it can be deduced that the region was named not by the Greek civilizations of the west but by the people of the region themselves.

  • Introduction: Contextualizing the Sayfo in the First
    INTRODUCTION CONTEXTUALIZING THE SAYFO IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR David Gaunt, Naures Atto and Soner O. Barthoma R “We should not let them return to their homelands” —From a telegram of Talaat to the governors of Mosul and Van provinces, 30 June, 1915. This book focuses on a little-known genocide of the Assyrian peoples that took place at the same time as the well-known Armenian genocide during the First World War. The sorrow and loss caused by the kill- ing and displacement of ancestors has been a painful memory for the Assyrians ever since. But the memory of the massacres, deportations and expulsions of the Assyrians has long been confined inside families and religious communities, only seldom told to outsiders. As with the Armenian genocide, the official stance of Turkey has been to deny that anything near a genocide ever befell the Assyrians. Representatives of the various traditionally Syriac-speaking Christian minorities, here referred to collectively by the cross-denominational name ‘Assyrians’, estimated that 250,000 of their number perished between 1914 and 1918. The population had been reduced to half its original size (Namik 2 David Gaunt, Naures Atto and Soner O. Barthoma and Nedjib 1919). Before 1914 the Assyrians lived in a wide region in what is now south-east Turkey, north-western Iran and the northern parts of Syria and Iraq. Academic source-based research on their fate has only recently started (de Courtois 2004; Gaunt 2006; Hellot-Bellier 2014). Fortunately, it is becoming integrated into the overall history of the Armenian genocide and in that way is increasingly recognized as a genocide in its own right (Suny, Göçek and Naimark 2011; Kaiser 2014; Kévorkian and Ternon 2014; Suny 2015; De Waal 2015).

  • An Ethnobotanical Study in Midyat (Turkey), a City on the Silk Road Where Cultures Meet Ali Akgul1*, Ayfer Akgul2, Serdar G
    Akgul et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2018) 14:12 DOI 10.1186/s13002-017-0201-8 RESEARCH Open Access An ethnobotanical study in Midyat (Turkey), a city on the silk road where cultures meet Ali Akgul1*, Ayfer Akgul2, Serdar G. Senol3, Hasan Yildirim3, Ozcan Secmen4 and Yunus Dogan5 Abstract Background: Studies of ethnobotanical usages in south-eastern Turkey are rare. To widen this field of knowledge, we conducted an ethnobotanical study in Midyat (Mardin Province), Turkey. Methods: The field study was completed during three years (2007–2010). Our aim was to document the ethnobotanical uses of local plants and to make an ethnobotanical inventory of uncommon plants using qualitative interviews. Results: During field studies, 368 voucher specimens were collected in the investigated area. Ninety-two traditionally used plant species were reported from Midyat and surrounding vicinities in Turkey. Among the 92 taxa (129 usages), 35% were used for medical purposes, 22% for food, 13% for animal fodder, 7% as ornamental plants and dyes, 6% as brooms, 4% for latex and as fragrance, 4% for herbal tea, molasses and wine preparation, 3% for agricultural purposes, and 6% for other purposes. Comparative assessment showed that Teucrium polium (0.51), Matricaria aurea (0.26), Alcea setosa (0.21), and Malva neglecta (0.21) have the highest recorded UVs, and the following taxa had UVs between 0.10–0.20: Anthemis cotula (0.12), Allium cepa (0.13), Alcea striata subsp. striata (0.14), Crupina crupinastrum (0.12), Papaver rhoeas (0.13), Salvia multicaulis (0.14), Thymbra spicata (0.11), and Vicia pannonica subsp.

Değişik kültürleri ve inançları geleneksel dokusunda yaşatır. Farklı inançlara ait ibadet mekânları (manastır, kilise, cami) ile han, arasta ve birçok geleneksel evden oluşan yoğun tarihi dokusuyla, özgün niteliklerini büyük oranda koruyan bir yerleşim yeridir. Bu çalışma kapsamında incelenen Eski Midyat bölgesinde yer alan geleneksel konutlar, değişen yaşam koşulları ve kullanıcı özellikleri sonucu, özellikle son 30–40 yılda, hem sosyal yapı hem de fiziki yapı olarak bir değişim süreci içerisine girmiştir. Bugün Midyat’ta geleneksel konutu oluşturan sosyal yapı, geçmişte bu dokunun oluşmasını sağlayan sosyal yapıdan farklıdır. Geleneksel konut biriminin bugünkü yeni kullanıcıları, evin özgün sahiplerinden farklı kültürel ve ekonomik yapıya sahiptirler. Yapıldıkları dönemin sosyo kültürel yapısını, planlama ve mimari biçimini yansıtan bu konutlar, yeni kullanıcıların kültürleri, yaşam biçimleri, ihti- yaçları, istekleri, beğenileri ve ekonomik durumlarına göre yaptıkları değişiklikler ile özgün niteliklerini kay- betmeye başlamıştır. Bu çalışmada, kullanıcı değişiminin geleneksel Midyat evlerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Değişimin her boyutta ele alınabilmesi için konut birimi hem sosyal hem de mimari birim ölçeğinde ele alınmış- tır. Anahtar sözcükler: Geleneksel Konut, Kültür, Koruma, Mekân, Midyat, Restorasyon.
