In January 2007 the team presented to the Governor the findings and recommendations of the 2006 study and discussed with him the preparation of an action plan focusing on the six villages to promote sustainability and resilience through better adapted production and improved practices reversing the pernicious cycle of intensified use and degradation and preserving biodiversity. The Governor agreed with the proposal and requested that the team work in close collaboration with the Department of Agriculture. This year, the IIUD team conducted visits to the villages to initiate a participatory process for the formulation of strategies and action plans and the identification of projects. Discussions were directed at promoting the establishment of village associations and cooperatives to increase productivity and facilitate the marketing of agricultural products. The team also continued to study the development of a tourism strategy centered on key corridors in the Province with outstanding natural and cultural assets. An interim report was submitted in June 2007 presenting information gathered from two separate visits to selected villages reachable in winter, in December and January 2007. The visits were undertaken to meet with both men and women in the less busy winter months, the best time to hold long relaxed discussions with farmers as work in the fields is at a standstill.

  • Beekeeping in Turkey: Past to Present
    IRFAN KANDEMIR 85 BEEKEEPING IN TURKEY: PAST TO PRESENT Irfan Kandemir Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Ankara University, Turkey [email protected] Abstract Turkey is on the intersection of three continents and also located on two important trade routes of the past, namely the Spice and Silk Roads. Thus it played a very important role bridging Asia, Europe and Africa. Indeed Turkey was also the place where very important civilizations such as the Roman, Hittite, Byzantine, Ottoman and finally the modern Turkish Republic became established. Covering all of these civilizations beekeeping can be divided into three main periods, supported by archeological findings, the written laws of Ottomans and the present period of the new Republic. Although the findings in archeology and in the Ottoman period are scarce, the present period has Fig. 1 Two tablets found in Boğazköy (Hattuşaş) related to lots of information regarding beekeeping in Turkey. beekeeping laws (Sarıöz, 2006; Akkaya and Alkan, 2007).

  • Ardahan-Brosur--Ingilizce-Sikistirildi
    ARDAHAN: REALM OF HIGH LANDS Ardahan, the realm of highlands, has a distinct geography that of- fers the glories of the past and treasures of the nature together. It is also an undiscovered tourism center with its steep mountains, up- lands covered with endemic flowers, glacial lakes on the foothills of majestic peaks, yellow pine forests, castles and towers, churches, mysterious border towns, and a cultural wealth that reflects the mo- saic of its diversity. Ardahan involves the borders with Georgia and Armenia in the north and northeast, with Kars and Erzurum in the south and southeast, and with Artvin in the west. Most significant elevations are Kısır, Keldağı, Akbaba, Cin, Ilgar, Ahaşen, Uğurlu and Yalnızçam Mountains. On the foothills of these high mountains are the uplands that huddle all kinds of colors within the nature into one place and emerge as orchards. Almost all of the villages in Ardahan have upland, and their dwellers migrate to these high- lands in company with their herds as of June. Certainly one of the most prominent rivers of Ardahan is Kura River. Posof, Karaçay, Değirmendere, Hanak, Kayınlıkdere, Türkmenderesi and Ölçek can be listed as the other local rivers with various sizes. Lake Çıldır, which is the tenth biggest lake in the country and second biggest lake of Eastern Anatolia Region in terms of acreage, and Aktaş river on Georgia border, are among the significant lakes of the province. HISTORY Ardahan region, which was used as a migration way from Caucasus to Anatolia, has a rich historical and cultural background. Especially the castles and towers laying on or nearby deep, long and succes- sive valleys created by Kura River are among the most significant details that convey the traces of the past to present.

In this context; what the reasons that forced the Molokan to migrate from Russia to Kars were, what kind of cultural traces they left during their stay in the region, and which communities they interacted with in the region were all examine. Furthermore, it was aimed to produce answers to the questions such as what the cultural elements starting with the Molokans in the region and surviving in the present day were, how the existing Molokan cultural elements could be evaluated in the context of cultural tourism. For this purpose, the villages of Çakmak, Boğatepe, İncesu, Porsuklu and Yalınçayır where the Molokans lived densely, were selected as a sample and observation trips were organized to these villages.

For this purpose, face-to-face survey interviews were conducted with a total of 45 beef cattle enterprises, 10 of them were located in Kars city center, whereas 5 enterprises were from each of Susuz, Arpaçay, Akyaka, Selim, Sarıkamış, Kağızman and Digor town located in Kars. It was determined that the abundantly used forages were straw, dried grass hay, sainfoin, and beef cattle concentrate and crushed barley as concentrate feed. This study showed that roughage and concentrate feeds are given to animals after mixing. It was observed that most of the enterprises offers the feed and water 2 or 3 times a day to their animals and most of them were using salt blocks, but not vitamin-mineral licking blocks. Majority of the enterprises do not receive professional support from the veterinarians or zootechnician for feeding their animals. Frequency of digestive system disorders such as indigestion, diarrhea, and tympani was at rarely.

The morphological and microscopical features of these fungi are described based on the collected materials. Key words — Anatolia, Ardahan, Kars, Ustilaginales Introduction The smut fungi (Ustilaginales) are parasites of cereals and other cultivated and natural plants, comprising more than 1400 species in approximately 70 genera (Vanky 1994). In the last decade, reports of new records of smut fungi have greatly increased in Turkey, and 55 smut species in 9 genera have been determined for the country (Bahcecioglu & Yildiz 2005; Bahcecioglu et al. 2006; Bremer et. al. 1952; Kirbag 2003; Kabaktepe & Bahcecioglu 2006; Petrak 1953; Sahin & Tamer 1998; Sert et. al. 2004; Sert 2009). Further smut research is required, as this number is far less than the total number of potential host plants in Turkey. This paper presents smut species collected from Kars and Ardahan provinces in northeast Turkey. Materials & methods Specimens were collected during the field studies in 2006–09 from Kars and Ardahan Provinces in Turkey. The host specimens were prepared according to established herbarium techniques. Spores were scraped from dried host specimens and mounted in lactophenol.
