DESCRIPTORS *Cultural Context; Curriculum Enrichment; *Foreign Countries; *Humanities; Secondary Education; *World Geography; *World History IDENTIFIERS Ottothan Empire; *Turkey; *Turks ABSTRACT Teaching about Turkey is currently a priority in world and global history courses. There has been a re-examination of this region, a re- emphasis on the contribution of the peoples of the area to history, and a re- evaluation of the role of the Turks not only in Turkish history but also in Central Asia, Western China, Eastern Europe, and Russia. The Turks cannot be relegated to the perimeter of history, particularly in the current political climate. The material in this guide is developed with a humanities perspective. The guide is divided into two main parts:(1) history and related social disciplines; and (2) art and literature. Each part contains lessons that include a lesson plan with instructor notes, key concepts for the material, vocabulary terms, and suggestions for strategies for teaching and for projects, homework readings, and worksheets to photocopy as handouts for students. Some lessons in the guide also include maps and full-page graphics for copying and distributing to students. Additional material is contained in the appendices.

  • The Armenian Cause in America Today
    THE ARMENIAN CAUSE IN AMERICA TODAY While meager Turkish American NGO assets are dedicated to cultural events and providing education on a wide range of political issues, approximately $40 million in Armenian American NGO assets are primarily dedicated to what is referred to in Armenian as Hai Tahd, ‘The Armenian Cause’. Hai Tahd includes three policy objectives: Recognition that the 1885-1919 Armenian tragedy constitutes genocide; Reparations from Turkey; and, Restitution of the eastern provinces of Turkey to Armenia. This paper examines the Armenian American strategy and the response of Turkish American via the Assembly of Turkish American Associations (ATAA). Günay Evinch Gunay Evinch (Övünç) practices international public law at Saltzman & Evinch and serves as Assembly of Turkish American Associations (ATAA) Vice-President for the Capital Region. He researched the Armenian case in Turkey as a U.S. Congressional Fulbright Scholar and Japan Sasakawa Peace Foundation Scholar in international law in 1991-93. To view media coverage and photographs associated with this article, please see, Günay Evinch, “The Armenian Cause Today,” The Turkish American, Vol. 2, No. 8 (Summer 2005), pp. 22-29. Also viewable at www.ATAA.org The Ottoman Armenian tragedy of 1880-1919 is a dark episode in the history of Turkish and Armenian relations. Over one million Muslims, mostly Kurds, Turks, and Arabs, and almost 600,000 Armenians perished in eastern Anatolia alone. WWI took the lives of 10 million combatants and 50 million civilians. While Russia suffered the greatest population deficit, the Ottoman Empire lost over five million, of which nearly 4 million were Muslims, 600,000 were Armenian, 300,000 were Greek, and 100,000 were Ottoman Jews.1 Moreover, the millennial Armenian presence in eastern Anatolia ended.

  • The Conversion of the Jews and the Islamization of Jewish Spaces During the First Centuries of the Ottoman Empire’
    BAHAR, Beki L. ‘The conversion of the Jews and the islamization of Jewish spaces during the first centuries of the Ottoman empire’. Jewish Migration: Voices of the Diaspora. Raniero Speelman, Monica Jansen & Silvia Gaiga eds. ITALIANISTICA ULTRAIECTINA 7. Utrecht : Igitur Publishing, 2012. ISBN 978‐90‐6701‐032‐0. SUMMARY This essay by the late Beki L. Behar (z.l.) focuses on conversion to Islam until the end of the Seventeenth Century. If we can speak of a privileged treatment of the Jews in the reigns of Mehmet Fatih, Bayezit II, Süleyman and Selim II – the period of Gracia Mendez and Josef Nasi –, Mehmet IV’s reign (1648‐1687) was marked by lack of tolerance and the Islamic fanatism of the fundamentalist Kadezadeli sect, in which period Jews had to face all sorts of prohibition and forced conversion, sometimes losing their living quarters. Although the Jews as inhabitants of cities rather than villages were generally not subjected to conversion and were not encouraged to enter upon the career at Court known as devşirme, an important wave of conversions initiated with Shabtai Zwi (Sabbatai Zevi), the false mashiah who preferred Islam to death penalty. His numerous followers are known in Turkish as dönmeler (dönmes). Other conversions had a less dramatic background, such as divorcing under Shari’a law or for convenience’s sake. A famous case is the court fysician Moshe ben Raphael Abravanel, who became Muslim in order to be able to practise. KEYWORDS Conversion, Shabtai Zwi, dönmes, Islamization The authors The proceedings of the international conference Jewish Migration: Voices of the Diaspora (Istanbul, June 23‐27 2010) are volume 7 of the series ITALIANISTICA ULTRAIECTINA.

Bu doğrultuda adı geçen turizm türleri arasında benzerlikler, ilişkiler, etkileşimler ve geçişlerin var olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır.

Çalışmada önce kültür turizmi, kırsal turizm, agroturizm ve gastronomi turizmi kuramsal olarak işlenmiştir. Daha sonra Tire ilçesinin doğal ve kültürel özellikleri ana hatlarıyla açıklanmıştır. Bu temel üzerinde adı geçen turizm türlerinin bir bütün olarak Tire’de nerelerde ve nasıl geliştirilebileceği ortaya konmuş, bazı örnekler verilmiş ve öneriler geliştirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre; Tire’nin kentsel ve kırsal çekiciliklerinin, tarım ve mutfak özelliklerinin, bir bütün halinde turizme kazandırılabileceği sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bunun için Tire’de turizmle ilgili bir örgütlenmeye gidilmeli, plan-proje, tanıtım ve pazarlama çalışmaları yapılmalıdır.

    From dancing and providing pleasure to the head of the Ottoman Empire Maidservants who ascended to the throne of the Ottoman Empire Under the ruling of the Ottomans, it was possible for any maidservant of unknown parentage and religion to instantly find herself sitting on the throne, controlling the lives of millions of Muslims. This is what historical sources say, which narrated how influential the maidservants were, in the era of the Ottoman Empire, and how they became mothers and wives of the Turkish sultans. The path was almost paved, it was enough for any maidservant, who knows how to seduce the Sultan, to make him fall in love with her in order to deliver him a child, and according to the Ottoman protocols, she becomes a wife, then a mother to the next sultan, a position that gives her sovereignty and an expected advantage over the throne of the Ottoman family, then dominating the fate of millions of Muslims in the countries occupied by the Ottoman Empire. Considering the weakness of the Turkish sultans as well, the task becomes easy, as most of the Ottomans family - according to historical sources - never panted after anything as much as women, and did nothing in their lives more than just lying in beds; some sultans never even left their palaces, in addition to the extravagance in purchasing maidservants from all over the world and being stacking them up in the Harem, where the place designated for them was in the palaces, which is something many leaders of the Ottoman Empire warned of, as many of the maidservants pretended to enter Islam and falling in love the Sultan, while in fact they are only spies for their countries of origin, which were hostile to the Ottoman Empire and to the Muslims at the same time.
