  • Turkic Cooperation in the Center of Eurasia: the Turkic Council
    TURKIC COOPERATION IN THE CENTER OF EURASIA: THE TURKIC COUNCIL Gülperi GÜNGÖR GÜLPERİ GÜNGÖR Analysis No : 2021 / 6 05.02.2021 The Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking States (Turkic Council) was established in 2009 as an intergovernmental organization with the Nakhichevan Treaty signed between Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkey with the aim of promoting cooperation within a joint structure. The organizations flag contains the elements of the national flags of the founding member states: the eight-pointed star (Azerbaijan), the color blue (Kazakhstan), the sun (Kyrgyzstan), and the crescent (Turkey). The cooperation process between the Turkic-speaking countries started right after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the establishment of the new Turkic Republics. Turkey was one of the first countries to recognize the newly founded Turkic Republics. In this process, many bilateral and multilateral collaborations have been carried out in political, economic and cultural areas. Established in 1992, the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) has played a role in the execution of cooperation mechanisms in the field of development. The foundations of the Turkic Council are based on these collaborations and the summits of the Heads of Turkic Speaking States that have been held since 1992. The main decision-making body of the Turkic Council is the Council of Heads of State. The other bodies are the Council of Foreign Ministers, the Senior Officials Committee (which provides technical information), the Council of Elders, and the secretariat. The organization's secretariat is located in Istanbul. The Secretariat carries out its activities with a secretary general and deputy general secretaries representing each member country, project managers, and experts.

  • Halal Ecosystem: Prospect for Growth in Bangladesh
    International Journal of Business and Society, Vol. 18 S1, 2017, 205-222 HALAL ECOSYSTEM: PROSPECT FOR GROWTH IN BANGLADESH Nabila Nisha. North South University Mehree Iqbal North South University ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to draw special attention to Bangladesh as one of the potential markets where the concept of Halal ecosystem can be developed. An overview of this dynamic concept, followed by the current stance, challenges and future outlook of Bangladesh regarding Halal ecosystem is thereby described. This study applies content analysis to identify general trends and research results of Halal ecosystem in a descriptive form. Using secondary sources, it also provides future directions for both Bangladesh and the global context. Government support and regulatory frameworks are crucial at this stage to strengthen confidence amongst consumers, industry players and investors regarding Halal ecosystem in Bangladesh. Moreover, regional and global arrangements for Halal certifications are necessary to fully embrace this concept in Bangladesh and beyond. However, lack of empirical data and research on Halal ecosystem limits the intensity of arguments in this study. Besides, absence of proper information regarding Halal certifications, database of companies involved in this dynamic process and initiatives of government and regulatory bodies in Bangladesh further hinder the presentation of a wholesome picture of Halal ecosystem. Keywords: Halal Ecosystem; Islamic Finance; Halal Industry; Islamic Economy; Muslim Consumers; Bangladesh. 1. INTRODUCTION In today’s increasingly globalized world, the Islamic economy has been continuously evolving and requiring companies to provide products and services that meet their faith- based needs. The core two sectors that are structurally affected by this requirement of Muslim consumers are the Halal industry, which mainly comprises of food, lifestyle and travel, and the Islamic finance industry (Thomas and Selimovic, 2015).

  • Of 39 Annexure II Statement by ECO
    Annexure II Statement by ECO Secretary General 31st RPC Meeting, January 21, 2021 His Excellency Ibrahim Senel, the Head of Delegation of Turkey, Distinguishes Participants Ladies and gentlemen, I am privileged, indeed, to welcome you at this 31st Session of the ECO Regional Planning Council. Thank you all for making it convenient to participate in this mega ECO event which is convened every year to review the past activities of the organization, as well as consider and evolve some fresh programs and projects to be executed from ECO’s platform for continuing the developmental process in our region. As you are kindly aware, the post-30th RPC period witnessed a persistent global and regional crisis due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The ongoing pandemic, that yet to meet an end, continues to affect the routine public and private as well as international and regional affairs. The COVID crunch, like most parts of the world, has not spared our region, hampering regular developmental activities which were perceived to be made in consideration of the ECO Work Program and Calendar of Events for 2020 endorsed by the 30th Meeting of RPC. It is relevant to mention here that the domestic containment measures and global disruption to connectivity, trade, tourism and production have required our region to prepare for the prospects of an economic slowdown. As of other regions, the public infrastructure in the ECO region was neither built nor prepared to counter such kind of a sudden situation. Though the pandemic bears hardship and difficulties, it also appeared to give some learning lessons.

Accepted 23 April, 2012 The purpose of this study was to assess the degree of pollution of Turag river water by determining various physico-chemical parameters. Water samples were collected six times per year during wet and dry season at the following three locations: Tongi Railway Bridge, Bishwa Ijtema field and Ashulia. Most of the measured physicochemical parameters exceeded permissible limit of drinking water. The recorded pH ranged from 6.6 to 7.98 and Electrical Conductivity (EC) from 160 to 1107 µs/cm. The recorded dissolve oxygen (DO) varied from 0.11 to 6.8 mg/L and biological oxygen demand (BOD) ranged from 10 to 180 mg/L while chemical oxygen demand ranged from 21 to 220 mg/L and free CO2 value from 5 to 22 mg/L. The concentration ranges of heavy metals and arsenic in ppb were as follows: Zinc (Zn) (0.04 to 0.4), cadmium (Cd) (0.043 to 2), arsenic (As) (1.15 to 4.8), (lead) Pb (2.29 to 18.62) and mercury (Hg) (0.12 to 1.45).

  • Bangla Masdjid': Islão E Bengalidade Entre Os Bangladeshianos Em Lisboa
    José Mapril* Análise Social, vol. XXXIX (173), 2005, 851-873 «Bangla masdjid»: Islão e bengalidade entre os bangladeshianos em Lisboa** Nos últimos anos, as pesquisas sobre as populações muçulmanas no Oci- dente têm incidido sobre o desenvolvimento de perspectivas universalistas e ortodoxas do Islão que fazem dele um elemento de agregação entre pessoas independentemente das suas particularidades. Pretende-se afirmar que a expe- riência migratória coloca em contacto diversas populações muçulmanas, favo- recendo a emergência de ideologias universalistas e puristas do Islão que aparecem expressas em noções como a ummah, a comunidade islâmica transnacional (v. Gardner, 1995, Mandaville, 2001, Roy, 2003, e Kepel, 2003). Segundo estas concepções, afirma-se que outras formas de pertença, como a etnicidade, tendem a desaparecer, ou pelo menos a submergir, sob o efeito universalizante desta ideologia transnacional. No entanto, esta perspectiva deve ser um pouco matizada, uma vez que existem casos onde as fronteiras entre o Islão e outras formas de pertença não são tão claramente traçadas. Exemplo disto é o caso dos imigrantes do Bangladesh em Portugal, entre os quais a conjugação de uma identidade muçulmana e bengali aparece expressa na criação de um espaço de culto localizado na zona onde residem e trabalham em Lisboa. O que procurarei demonstrar ao longo deste artigo é exactamente que o bengali, enquanto sentido de pertença etno-linguística, não tem vindo a ser substituído pelo * Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa. ** Este artigo resulta de uma investigação em curso no âmbito da minha pesquisa de doutoramento em realização no Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa com o apoio da Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia.
