As summarized by our “Growing through Values” motto, we support a range of social responsibility projects to help preserve, develop and sustain Turkey’s local and national values for today and tomorrow. “Kuveyt Türk hails from Turkey – a country that cares and shares. “ Safeguarding our heritage Supporting the future A key landmark for Istanbul’s identity and an architectural jewel of the Bosporus Strait, Grand Mecidiye Mosque was re-opened for worship in 2014 after completion of a three-year restoration project backed by Kuveyt Türk. Other restoration efforts conducted to preserve the landmarks of the city and safeguard our collective historical legacy include: • Tomb of the Ottoman-era Poet and Composer Buhûrîzâde Mustafa Itrî in Istanbul, • Saliha Sultan Fountain and Sebil (Charity Fountain) in Azapkapı, Istanbul, • Historic masjid and shadirvan (fountain) at the heart of Bursa’s Kozahan. Supporting Arts and Culture Kuveyt Türk strives to preserve social values through the arts by prioritizing conservation of enduring artworks for future generations. For this purpose, the Bank incorporates works by notable masters of Turkish-Islamic arts in its corporate collection and safeguards them. Almost 250 works of art – including Islamic calligraphy, illumination, paper marbling, miniature, mother of pearl marquetry, wood carving, decoupage and tombak (copper gilding) – are on display at the Bank’s headquarters and branches. Furthermore, Kuveyt Türk launched an exceptional initiative with the Women, Family and Youth Center (KAGEM) under Religious Foundation of Turkey (Diyanet Vakfı). Enthusiasts can now attend courses on Turkish and Islamic Arts at the KAGEM- Kuveyt Türk Art Workshops in the courtyard of Beşiktaş Sinanpaşa Mosque. Reference Books for the Future Kuveyt Türk supports project-based initiatives toward preserving cultural heritage with the reference books it publishes. “Disappearing Vocations,” “Lost Fountains,” “Evliya Çelebi’s Hajj Pilgrimage,” “ The Great Mecidiye Mosque and Ortaköy” and “Mantiq al-Tair (The Speech of Birds)” feature among the works published by the Bank. Support for Our Heroes Kuveyt Türk continues support for civil society organizations and humanitarian aid campaigns. Kuveyt Türk donated TL 1 million to the Turkish Armed Forces Mehmetçik Foundation for relatives of martyrs and veterans. This foundation provides social and economic support to veterans and disabled soldiers as well as dependents of non-commissioned officers who were martyred or lost their lives while on duty. Support for Humanitarian Aid Campaigns Kuveyt Türk extended a helping hand to Muslims who have faced systematic persecution in Myanmar for years and were displaced from their homes in the Rakhine state. The Bank made an initial donation of TL 1 million to this cause. With the support of its employees and clients, the total donations soon exceeded TL 7 million. Guided by the precept that “People are our utmost social responsibility,” Kuveyt Türk also provided financial relief through donations for other notable causes. These donations went to; • assist Somalia and the rest of Africa under the “Africa Is Not Alone” campaign; • construct a Brotherhood Village for the Pakistan flood disaster victims; • help bereaved families affected by the Soma mine accident; • and assist survivors of the Van earthquake in 2011 which killed 604 people, injured another 4,152 and caused severe damage in the region and its vicinity. Support for Hope Kuveyt Türk has been providing ongoing assistance to the “Support for Hope project” conducted by The Hope Foundation for Children with Cancer (KAÇUV) for the last six years. The Bank has donated more than TL 2 million since 2013. These efforts aim to raise awareness about cancer as one of the most significant and growing diseases of our time, and offer hope to children undergoing cancer treatment. Support for the National Awareness Camps of the Scouting and Guiding Federation of Turkey Kuveyt Türk provided both sponsorship support and participation for the 15th National Awareness Camp commemorating the Çanakkale 57th Regiment and the 13th National Awareness Camp commemorating the Sarıkamış Allahuekber Mountain Martyrs. INTRODUCTION Since its founding, Kuveyt Türk has been committed to offering exceptional interest- free banking services, conducting extensive research in investment areas, delivering cutting-edge, consistent, top-quality and fast services to savers and businesses, and providing continuous employee training to achieve higher productivity. 18 Summary of Financial Indicators 19 Shareholding and Capital Structure 20 Agenda of the Ordinary General Assembly 21 Amendments to the Articles of Association 22 Kuveyt Türk in Brief 28 The Story of 29 Successful Years 32 About Kuveyt Türk 34 Message from the Chairman 36 Message from the CEO SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION Summary of Financial Indicators Kuveyt Türk Summary of Financial Indicators (TL Thousand)* 2017 2018 continued to Profit Sharing Income 3,713,950 5,851,555 achieve successful financial results Profit Sharing Expense 1,759,335 2,773,868 in 2018: The Bank Net Fee and Commission Income 385,018 513,135 boosted its net Other Revenues 537,883 960,279 profit for the period by 15% to TL 822 Other Expenses 1,973,872 3,497,065 million during the Tax Charge 187,996 232,030 year.

    i SAINT g SOPHIA Ä MUSEUM TÜRKİYE TURİNG VE OTOMOBİL KURUMU YAYINI t t- y SAINT SOPHIA MUSEUM FERİDUN DİRİMTEKİN TOURING AND AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF TURKEY ISTANBUL Ş.İ-- MESSAGE TO TRAVELLERS COMING TO ISTANBUL Istanbul is, without a doubt, the only city in the world which adds to its incomparable natural beauties, so admirably described by numerous writers such as Lamartine, Théophile Gautier, Henri de Régnier and Loti, not simple vestiges, but intact mas­ terpieces of so many different civili­ zations; the only city in the world which, since over fifteen centuries, has uninterruptedly been not only the capital of the largest states, but the center of gravity of the synthesis of both European and Asian art. While the whole of Turkey is a land of legends and history which preserves imperishable souvenirs from Antioch and Tarsus to Ephesus, from Konya to Edirne, of Christianity as well as of Islam, Istanbul embraces in its bosom live images of the most brilliant periods of the Roman, By­ zantine and Turco-Ottoman Empires. Istanbul is not, such as certain other cities of the Orient a city of myths which childish imaginations nebuloously evoke. It is a city of poe­ tic reality or of real poetry, of beauty, of harmony and of majesty which are actually alive, visible, tangible. In no other metropolis of the old continent, including Rome and At­ hens, can one observe, study and compare simultaneous, side by side in one expanse, the most varied ma­ nifestations of social and artistic evo­ lutions throughout the centuries. With St. Sophia -splendid Byzan tine edifice of the VI th Century built by two Anatolian architects, restored several times and surprisingly well preserved by the Turks- and the mag- nific'ent Suleymaniye - which, like all imperial mosques, towers, in its so­ ber majesty, over its numerous ap­ purtenances which form a vast city of schools, libraries, hospitals, hotels, ppblic kitchens, caravanserais, hans, mausoleums, baths and fountains - Is­ tanbul obviously remains the world’s richest center of historical monu­ ments.

  • Multicultural Exchange in the Norman Palaces of Twelfth
    A Changing Mosaic: Multicultural Exchange in the Norman Palaces of Twelfth-Century Sicily by Dana Katz A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Dana Katz 2016 A Changing Mosaic: Multicultural Exchange in the Norman Palaces of Twelfth-Century Sicily by Dana Katz Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation examines the twelfth-century residences associated with the Norman Hautevilles in the parklands that surrounded their capital at Palermo. One of the best-preserved ensembles of medieval secular architecture, the principal monuments are the palaces of La Zisa and La Cuba, the complexes of La Favara and Lo Scibene, the hunting lodge at Parco, and the palace at Monreale. The Norman conquest of Sicily in the previous century dramatically altered the local population’s religious and cultural identity. Nevertheless, an Islamic legacy persisted in the park architecture, arranged on axial plans with waterworks and ornamented with muqarnas vaults. By this time, the last Norman king, William II, and his court became aligned with contemporaries in the Latin West, and Muslims became marginalized in Sicily. Part One examines the modern “discovery” and reception of the twelfth-century palaces. As secular examples built in an Islamic mode, they did not fit preconceived paradigms of medieval Western architecture in the scholarly literature, greatly endangering their preservation. My examination reconstructs the vast landscape created by the Norman kings, who modified their surroundings on a monumental scale. Water in the parklands was harnessed to provide for ii artificial lakes and other waterscapes onto which the built environment was sited.

  • Water Archıtectures in the Ottoman Empıre, Examples from Antalya
    Global Journal of HUMAN-SOCIAL SCIENCE: D History, Archaeology & Anthropology Volume 17 Issue 2 Version 1.0 Year 2017 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Water Archıtectures in the Ottoman Empıre, Examples from Antalya By Hacer Mutlu Danacı & Ceren Özata Akdeniz University Abstract- In the historical process, water structures have been developed in every period. In the Ottoman era, examples of water structures were constructed in accordance with the increasing political and economic power of the state. These developments are not simultaneous in Istanbul and in Anatolia. The classical style of Ottoman architecture that uses function and decoration in a balanced way is also seen in Anatolian water structures. Before Ottoman domination, Antalya, which is located on the southwest of Anatolia, was under the control of the Romans, Byzantines, Anatolian Seljuks, Cypriot states and the Principalities of Teke and Hamidids. This study will provide an analysis of exemplary evidence on water structures in the Ottoman period in the historical process in Rumelia and Anatolia and some examples of water structures in Antalya.” Keywords: water structure, architecture, ottoman, antalya.

  • Investigation of the Ottoman Period Masjids in the Izmit City Site: Structural Spatial and Liturgic Item Analysis
    Online Journal of Art and Design volume 9, issue 2, April 2021 Investigation of the Ottoman Period Masjids in the Izmit City Site: Structural Spatial and Liturgic Item Analysis İBRAHİM TÜRKERİ Gebze Technical University, Department of Architecture, Kocaeli-Turkey. [email protected] CEYDA ÖZGEN Gebze Technical University, Department of Industrial Product Design, Kocaeli- Turkey. [email protected] ABSTRACT From the ancient times in the Muslim World, there are many masjids that utilizing as a place of Islamic worship and maintaining their functional qualities, in social memory and in the physical environment. Islamic place of worship in Turkey, reveals the “mosque” with the existing ontological element in itself. And the question of the place of worship is discussed out of the mosque. However, when the places of worship of the Ottoman period were examined, it is seen that the masjids built on a different scale, unlike the mosque, have an important typology reflecting the texture of the settlement pattern. This building scale developed within the historical adventure of Islamic places of worship is an important reference source to shed light on contemporary mosque designs. In this context, the masjids located in the site of the city of Izmit are separated from the masjids in other areas of the city due to their historical layers. The study sights to archive these small masjids to analyze their structural, spatial and literary elements with architectural framework. Thus, it is aimed to meet an important need related to the subject in the field of architecture and to be articulated with a scientific study in our cultural heritage.

  • Evaluation of Arastas and Bazaars of Ottoman Cities Within the Context of Construction Materials and Architectural Typologies
    The Online Journal of Science and Technology - October 2017 Volume 7, Issue 4 EVALUATION OF ARASTAS AND BAZAARS OF OTTOMAN CITIES WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND ARCHITECTURAL TYPOLOGIES 1Özlem ATALAN, 2Hasan Şahan AREL 1Isık University, Faculty of Architecture and Design, Department of Architecture, [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: In Anatolian cities of the Ottoman period, such as the inns, bedestens (covered bazaars), arastas, bazaars, grand bazaars and stores formed the commercial centers. These commercial structures with different functions were the main components forming the fabric of the commercial districts. These commercial centers also contained major public buildings, such as mosques and baths. Depending on the size of a city or town, the number of these structures could vary greatly. All of the buildings located in the center were important facilities, contributing economic, social and distinctive features to an Anatolian city or town. In this study, the “Arasta” and “Bazaar” in historical cities located on the axes of important trade routes in Anatolia were investigated. In addition, the conceptual and architectural differences of arastas and bazaars from inns and bedestens, which are major commercial structures, were investigated. The structures were selected from the cities of İstanbul, Bursa, Edirne, Hatay, and Konya, which were located on the important trade routes of the time. Especially, construction and material techniques, plan and façade typologies of these structures, built in the 15th and 16th centuries, were evaluated, as were the common and distinctive features of the various cities. Keywords: Historic Commercial Buildings, Arasta, Ottoman Bazaar, Bazaar, Grand Bazaar, Long Bazaar Introduction In the Ottoman cities, commercial buildings were not separated from religious buildings.
