  • Ioannis S. Chalkos the 1912 Ottoman Elections and the Greeks in the Vilayet of Adrianople
    Ioannis S. Chalkos The 1912 Ottoman elections and the Greeks in the Vilayet of Adrianople: A view from the Greek Archives. The Young Turk governments of the Ottoman Empire (1908-18) are widely considered as a part of the latter’s modernization process.1 The reforms, which had been initiated in the midst of the 19th century, were aiming at the homogenization of the society under the principle of Ottomanism. This was an effort of the Otto- man administrations to attract the loyalty of all their subjects to a new “Ottoman Nation” so as to block the centrifugal tendencies threatening the very existence of the empire.2 However, there was an inherent dualism in this concept of egalitarian- ism promoted through the reforms: the millet system, the old classification of the Ottoman subjects in semi-autonomous religious communities governed by their own law, was preserved and gradually secularized resulting in the stimulation of the separatist nationalist movements.3 Regarding the Greek-Orthodox communi- ties, the Bulgarian ecclesiastical schism of 1870 and the resulting Greco-Bulgarian dispute over Macedonia had strengthened the Greek character of the millet (Rum millet) while the Greek Kingdom was gaining increasing control over its in- stitutions.4 Still the road to an open rift between the Greeks and their Ottoman context was a long one. Developments were shaped and evolved in a changing social and polit- ical landscape which was dominated by continuity rather than specific turning points. The examination of the 1912 Ottoman elections presents an excellent op- portunity for the exploration of this landscape.

  • Her Mevsim Ayrı Bir Güzelliği Sunan Çanakkale, Içinden Deniz Geçen Coğrafyasıyla Topraklarının Bereketiyle, Tarihi Ihtişamıyla, Antik, Doğal Ve Modern Bir Kenttir
    GİRİŞ Her mevsim ayrı bir güzelliği sunan Çanakkale, içinden deniz geçen coğrafyasıyla topraklarının bereketiyle, tarihi ihtişamıyla, antik, doğal ve modern bir kenttir. Çanakkale, yaklaşık 5000 yıllık geçmişi ile eğitim, kültür, tarih kenti olmanın yanı sıra Homeros'un İlyada'sındaki gibi antik kültür hazinelerinin destanlarla beslenip gerçekliğe ulaştığı büyülü tarihi mekanları bünyesinde barındıran önemli bir turizm kentidir. Eski çağlarda "Dardanel" ve "Helles Pontus" olarak anılan Çanakkale Ege ve Marmara bölgesinde topraklan bulunan 671 km kıyı şeridine sahip tarih ve coğrafyanın anlamlı bir şekilde buluştuğu güzel bir kentimizdir. I. TARİHÇE Eski çağlarda DARDANEL ve HELLESPONTOS olarak anılan, erken Bronz Dönemi'nden bu yana önemli bir yerleşim merkezi olan Çanakkale; Çanakkale Boğazı sayesinde Anadolu ile Avrupa ve Akdeniz ile Karadeniz arasındaki bağlantıyı sağlayan iki geçit bölgesinden biridir. Bu özelliği nedeniyle oldukça zengin bir tarihi vardır. M.Ö. 3000 yılında kurulan L Troia, M.Ö. 2500 yıllarında bir depremle yıkılmıştır. Bundan önce de yörede eski yerleşmelerin bulunduğu bilinmektedir. Dardanos kentinin I. Troia'dan önce kurulduğu düşünülmektedir. Kuruluş önceliği 100‐150 yıl kadardır. M.Ö. 1200'lerde kuzeyden gelen "deniz kavimleri"nin göçü ile bölgede ve Anadolu'da yazılı tarih açısından karanlık dönem başlamıştır. Bölge, M.Ö. 7. yüzyılda Batı Anadolu'da büyük bir güç haline gelen Lydia Krallığı'nın egemenliğine girmiş, M.Ö. 5. yüzyılda Perslerin gelmesiyle, Pers etkisi artmaya başlamış, M.Ö. 386 yılında Persler ve Spartalûar arasında yapılan "Kral Barışı" ile bölgede kesin olarak Pers egemenliği sağlanmıştır. M.Ö. 334'te Makedonya Kralı Büyük İskender'in Pers ordusunu Biga Çayı (Granikos) yakınlarında bozguna uğratmasıyla Anadolu'da Pers hakimiyeti gerilemeye başlamıştır. İskender'in Ölümünden sonra İskender'in komutanları bölgede iktidar mücadelesine girişmişlerdir.

  • The Local and Central Administration in Imvros/Imroz and Lemnos in the Early 19Th Century
    THE KOCABAŞIS AS INTERMEDIARIES?: THE LOCAL AND CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION IN IMVROS/İMROZ AND LEMNOS IN THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY FERYAL TANSUĞ* Studies concerning center-periphery relations and the Ottoman rule of the Mediterranean islands of Crete and Cyprus have been well debated. The particular experience of the smaller Aegean islands, ilke Chios, Samos, Patmos, Andros and Rhodes, under the Ottoman rule also began to be analyzed by scholars. Studies about these smaller Aegean islands demonstrated communication of the islanders with the central government through Muslim local authorities.' Contributing to such discussions, this paper focuses on the relationship between local intermediaries/ civil community leaders and islanders in Imvros2 and Lemnos,' two small northem Aegean islands. It hopes to give voice to the overlooked ordinary insular lives under the Ottoman rule in the middle of the 19th century.

The individuals who prepare these web-sites try to connect with the world via the internet, and represent their past with limited information. Pages on these web-sites that are titled "our history" or "our short history" provide some unique historical, cultural, and anthropological information about the villager's life in rural area.

  • THE MODERNIZATION of the OTTOMAN NAVY DURING the REIGN of SULTAN ABDÜLAZİZ (1861-1876) By
    THE MODERNIZATION OF THE OTTOMAN NAVY DURING THE REIGN OF SULTAN ABDÜLAZİZ (1861-1876) by DİLARA DAL A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham April, 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The main focus of this study is to examine the modernization of the Ottoman navy during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz, exploring naval administration, education, and technology. Giving a summary of the transformation of shipbuilding technologies and bureaucratic institutions of the Ottoman naval forces between 1808 and 1861, it analyses the structure of the Ottoman navy, its level of development in comparison to previous periods of time, and the condition of the vessels making up the naval fleet from 1861 to 1876. It also intends to evaluate the character of existing administrative structures at the outset of Abdülaziz’s reign in 1861 and the nature of subsequent changes, including structural reorganization of the Imperial Naval Arsenal, the Ministry of Marine, and the Naval Academy, as well as advancements in military training and seafaring; all within the context of the impact of these changes on the military, political, and economic condition of the Empire during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz.

  • Historical Tsunamis in the Sea of Marmara 1. Introduction
    ITS 2001 Proceedings, Session 4, Number 4-2 527 Historical tsunamis in the Sea of Marmara Yildiz Altinok1, Sukru Ersoy2, Ahmet C. Yalciner3,BedriAlpar4, and Ugur Kuran5 1Geophysical Engineering Department, University of Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey 2Department of Geological Engineering, University of Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey 3Ocean Engineering Research Center, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey 4Institute of Marine Sciences and Management, University of Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey 5Earthquake Research Department, General Directorate of Disaster Affairs, Ankara, Turkey Abstract. The fact that a tsunami might occur as the consequence of a probable large-scale earthquake in the region is a popular subject. A recent coseismic tsunami in Izmit Bay caused by the Kocaeli earthquake on 17 August 1999 has once more emphasized this fact and how the knowledge of historical tsunamis is important. When the tsunamigenic potential of the Sea of Marmara is assessed, over 40 tsunamis have taken place during the course of an observational period of about 2000 years. The areas in which such waves have concentrated are Izmit Bay, Istanbul coasts, Gemlik Bay, Kapidag Peninsula, and Gelibolu coasts. The tsunami created by the Kocaeli earthquake in the Izmit Bay is the last example of tsunamis in Marmara. A study of the last and previous tsunamis in detail will shed some light on the subject. 1. Introduction The Sea of Marmara is a complicated tectonic basin positioned in the western part of the right lateral strike-slip North Anatolia fault (NAF) zone. The westward escape of the Anatolian plate along the NAF zone, with an annual slip rate of about 25 mm (Stein et al., 1996; Straub and Kahle, 1997), causes earthquakes in and around the Sea of Marmara.

  • Opportunities for Tourism and Dialogue Between Civilisations
    Caliskan – Rums’ Fairs OPPORTUNITIES FOR TOURISM AND DIALOGUE BETWEEN CIVILISATIONS Rums’ Religious Fairs on the Islands of Gökçeada (Imbros) and Bozcaada (Tenedos), Turkey VEDAT ÇALI!KAN Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University <[email protected]> In the depths of the sea on the cliff Between Tenedos and craggy Imbros There is a cave, wide gaping Poseidon who made the earth tremble Stopped the horses there. Homer- Iliad Abstract This study concerns religious fairs that, in Turkey, are mainly limited to the islands of Gökçeada and Bozcaada. Continued by the resident Greek minorities (Rums), these traditional fairs attract the interest of not only off-island Rum communities but also of the Turkish public in general. Recently, the fairs’ religious, social, and cultural aspects have developed economic and political dimensions. Besides providing new opportunities for faith tourism in these small-economy islands, the fairs also prepare the ground for cultural and economic partnerships between Greece and Turkey. The cultural characteristics of Gökçeada and Bozcaada could set a global example for developing dialogue between civilizations. The centuries-old Greek Orthodox tradition of island fairs could function as a bridge between neighbouring civilizations today. These two Turkish islands in the North Aegean await the world’s interest and continue to contribute to positive relations between Greece and Turkey. Keywords Imbros (Gökçeada), Tenedos (Bozcaada), religious fair, faith tourism, dialogue between civilizations Introduction Located in the north of the Aegean Sea, the islands of Thasos, Samothrace, Limnos, Gökçeada (Imbros) and Bozcaada (Tenedos) are known as Bo!azönü, or the North Aegean islands. Of these, only Bozcaada and Gökçeada both belong to Turkey and are suitable for habitation.
