Tectonic Setting and Evolution of the Sivas Basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey1 A. POISSON, J. C. GUEZOU, Laboratoire de Geophysique et Geodynamique Interne (Unite CNRS N° 1369), Universite de Paris-Sud, bat. 504, 91405 Orsay Cedex, France A. OZTURK, S. INAN, H. TEMIZ, H. GURSOY, K. S. KAVAK, AND S. OZDEN Department of Geology, Cumhuriyet University, 58140 Sivas, Turkey Abstract The Sivas Basin is one of several Central Anatolian basins. It developed mainly after the closure of the northern branch of Neotethys. Its location between the Kirsehir Massif and the Taurides implies that it should not be confused with the Inner Tauride ocean located south of the Eastern Taurides. The basement of the Sivas Basin consists of ophiolitic nappes and melanges that were thrust toward the margins of the continental blocks present in this area—the Pontide belt to the north and the Anatolide-Tauride platform to the south. The basin was initiated by tectonic subsidence at the end of the Cretaceous, and it can be compared to a foreland basin during Paleocene and early to middle Eocene time. It was emergent during late Eocene and Oligocene time, although it continued to subside. A transgression in some parts of the basin occurred during the Oligocene and early Miocene (maximum flooding). During the Pliocene, it was affected by regional compression directed toward the NNW, which resulted from conver­ gence of the Arabian and Eurasian plates. This basin may have developed as an intracontinental basin within the Tauride platform and probably never had an oceanic basement. As a result of this work, the general paleogeographic organization of Central Anatolia and Northern Tethys during the Mesozoic should to be revised. Introduction to Erzincan to the east and is considered as the suture of the oceanic realm and the line of SINCE LATE CRETACEOUS TIME, the Middle East collision between the southern margin of the has been involved in the formation of the Alpine Eurasian plate (Pontide belt) and the Apulo- belt, resulting from the convergence of the Anatolian block (Anatolide-Tauride platform, Eurasian, African, and Arabian plates.

Gümüşhane ve Erzincan ilinde gökkuşağı alabalığı (Oncorhynchus mykiss W., 1792) üretimi son yıllarda hızlı bir artış kaydetmiştir. Gümüşhane ilinde 1994 yılında 15 ton olan gökkuşağı alabalığı üretimi 2009 yılında 1.898 tona, Erzincan ilinde ise 1994 yılında 4 ton olan üretim 2009 yılında 725 tona yükselmiştir. Bu artışta en büyük etken baraj göllerinde de balık yetiştiriciliği yapılmaya başlanması olmuştur. Önümüzdeki yıllarda devreye girecek yeni barajlar ve göletler nedeniyle gökkuşağı alabalığı yetiştiriciliği daha da artacaktır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Su ürünleri yetiştiriciliği, su kaynakları, Gümüşhane, Erzincan ABSTRACT: This study, investigated the water resources, current situation of aquaculture production and its potential growth in Gumüşhane and Erzincan provinces. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss W., 1792) production in the province of Gümüşhane and Erzincan has made a rapid rise in recent years. Rainbow trout production recorded as 15 tons in Gümüşhane and 4 tons in Erzincan in 1994, has reached 1.898 tons in Gümüşhane and 725 tons in Erzincan provinces respectively in 2009. The most important factor in this increase was the initiation of the use of dams for fish farming. In coming years the use of new dams and reservoirs will take effect and rainbow trout production will be further increased.

  • Kemaliye (Erzincan) Case
    Pak. J. Bot., 42(2): 711-719, 2010. THE CURRENT SITUATION OF THREATENED ENDEMIC FLORA IN TURKEY: KEMALIYE (ERZİNCAN) CASE ZÖHRE BULUT* AND HASAN YILMAZ Department of Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Agriculture, Adnan Menderes University, South Campus, Aydın, Turkey *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The flora in Turkey is an outstanding one in terms of its biodiversity and the variety of endemic plant species. In this study, efforts have been made to determine the current situation of Turkey in general and local region (Kemaliye), being rich for endemic plants, based on International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Sources (IUCN) in order to present abundancy of endemic plants in Turkey and conditions in which endemic plant have been threatened. Of 3504 endemic plants in Turkey, 12 are known to have been extinct and 3492 (99 %) are still being threatened. Of 61 endemic plants in Kemaliye region, 5 is known to have been extinct and 54 (88%) to be threatened. This study provides some suggestions about conservation and management of such plants by considering their threatened categories. Introduction Biological diversity consists of three hierarchical categories viz., gene, species and ecosystem. Species diversity implies the diversity of species in a certain region or all over the world (Anon., 2001). According to Hunter (1996), biodiversity consists of five components: 1) genetic, 2) species, 3) community, 4) landscape and 5) process or function (Kaya & Raynal, 2001). The fact that a plant grows only in a certain local area is defined as endemism. In other words, plants which can grow only in a specific and limited region on the earth’s surface are called endemic plants.

The Seljuks of Anatolia: An Epigraphic Study Abstract This is a study of the monumental epigraphy of the Anatolian Seljuk Sultanate, also known as the Sultanate of Rum, which emerged in Anatolia following the Great Seljuk victory in Manzikert against the Byzantine Empire in the year 1071.It was heavily weakened in the Battle of Köse Dağ in 1243 against the Mongols but lasted until the end of the thirteenth century. The history of this sultanate which survived many wars, the Crusades and the Mongol invasion is analyzed through their epigraphy with regard to the influence of political and cultural shifts. The identity of the sultanate and its sultans is examined with the use of their titles in their monumental inscriptions with an emphasis on the use of the language and vocabulary, and with the purpose of assessing their strength during different periods of their realm.

Determining the prevalence of FLA in water sources can shine a light on the need to prevent FLA related illnesses. A total of 150 samples of tap water were collected from six districts of Sivas province. The samples were filtered and seeded on nonnutrient agar containing Escherichia coli spread. Thirty-three (22%) out of 150 samples were found to be positive for FLA.

  • The Turkish Province from an English Diplomat's Viewpoint 70 Years
    ISSN 2411-9563 (Print) European Journal of Social Sciences January-April 2017 ISSN 2312-8429 (Online) Education and Research Volume 4, Issue 1 The Turkish Province from an English Diplomat’s Viewpoint 70 Years Ago Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ali Satan Assist. Prof. Dr. Meral Balcı Abstract In 1947, a British diplomat conducted a visit to the places travelled rarely by local and foreign travelers, The Black Sea Coast between Samsun and Giresun in the North, the Malatya-Erzincan train line in the South, the Sivas- Erzurum train route in the West, Erzincan-Şebinkarahisar- Giresun in the East, and reported what he saw to London. In secret report, there provided military, political, ethnographic and historical information. In rapidly changing life conditions in the world, this secret report, which was written seventy years ago, set us on a historical journey. In the year, which the secret report was written, Turkey preferred being part of Western bloc in newly established bipolar international system and British diplomats were trying to understand how Britain and the Soviet Union were looked at in the regions they visited. In the secret report, there were also striking observations regarding the activities of the newly formed opposition party (Democratic Party) in Anatolia, the distance between the Turkish elites and the Anatolian villagers, and the military-civilian relationship in Anatolia. Keywords: World War II, province, rural, English diplomats, Middle and East of Turkey INTRODUCTION After the Second World War, Turkey preferred being part of Western bloc in bipolar international system. In the days when Turkey made transition from single party to multiparty political system, Turkey established close relations with United States and United Kingdom.
