     Extractions: W elcome to Turkey... This is the country where the eastern and the western civilizations meet in a great harmony. It is like an open air museum of various important civilizations which flourished on this land since 9,000 B.C. It would be a great mistake to consider Turkey as only a historical place. It is also a cultural and artistic melting pot of all its rich past. The people, living in modern Turkey now, are descendants of these past civilizations on various ways. Naturally, in Turkey you will experience an incredible diversity in environment, history, culture, art, ideas and beliefs. This is in itself may not be a challenge for the seasoned traveller. After all, diversity is the most prized feature of favourite destinations. In Turkey, this diversity is high enough to challenge even the most experienced eye because it is packed in spaces with abrupt changes in scenery. Y ou will explore ancient empires and centuries old battlefields. During this fantastic journey you will encounter many wonders starting from the fascinating city of Istanbul, previously known as Constantinople, to treasures of art and nature in Cappadocia, the marvels of Pamukkale, the mystery of Nemrud Dag and the boundless silences of Mount Ararat. Never to mention the wonderful western and southern coast of Turkey. It can only be described as magnificent... The famous ancient city of Troia with its wooden horse, just next to Gallipoli; the famous biblical city of Ephesus, with the house of Virgin Mary next to it; the birthplace of Homer, Smyrna, now called Izmir; the Hellenistic splendor of Pergamum are only the most evident and striking notes in an archaeological context one cannot help but marvel at and admire.

     Extractions: THE COUNTRY, THE PEOPLE AND THE CULTURE Turkey lies between Asia and Europe, serving as a bridge geographically, culturally and economically. Its location on two continents plays a central part in Turkish history and gives the country a major advantage in serving the markets of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. The high plateau region of Anatolia rises progressively towards the east and is divided by valleys formed by 15 rivers, including the Tigris and the Euphrates which originate in eastern Anatolia and flow southward to the Persian Gulf through Syria and Iraq. The largest river entirely within Turkey is Kýzýlýrmak, which flows northward past Ankara to the Black Sea. Among the numerous lakes there are some, such as Lake Van which are as large as inland seas.

     Extractions: Previous Page Contents of the Book Next Page Popular Culture and Arabesque Music in Turkey Meral Ozbek The so-called ‘arabesque’ music in Turkey has been the most popular musical genre since late 1960s. Although the founder and still the ‘king’ of this genre is a middle-class, self-taught musician Orhan Gencebay, its first consumers were the people of the ‘gecekondu’ (literally, built-up over night), that is the rural migrants of the squatter settlements around the big cities who worked mostly in the informal sector. The consuming public has thereafter expanded to include the rural and middle class people, and also a fraction of the new economic and ruling classes of the 1980s. The musical genre has diffused so much that arabesque began to be considered a trans-class taste and people have also come to accept the arabesque with its "neither Eastern nor Western" quality has become a way of life. The diffusion of arabesque music has for almost 20 years been primarily by the cassette-industry, music halls, taxi’s (through cassette-recorder and the police-radio) and street peddlers, since its transmission from the state-controlled TV and radio was prohibited. Arabesque music’s some leading singers had shown on a couple of New Year nights entertainment programmes and films of some of the leading names had been shown on the TV since the end of the 1970s and the viability of its prohibition began to be discussed at the state level at the end of 1980s. There was no solution to the discussion except for an attempt to ameliorate arabesque officially beginning by a production of a ‘nongrieved/griefless’ arabesque songs which did not succeed. So it was the ‘illegally legal’ private TV Star-1 which first opened its screens widely to arabesque in 1992 with the motto "people want it".

     Extractions: It is a culture whose abiding features are paternalism and patronage, a culture where ageing patriarchs continue to hold sway. It is a culture apparently caught between hardline nationalists on one side, and Islamists on the other, and where the parties of the centre have never managed to get their act together. It is a culture where the military have become an alibi for the mistakes of the politicians, who can always say: "If we make a mess of things, the generals will save the day." None of this is news to Turkish voters, who have long been disenchanted with their self-seeking politicians.

     Extractions: Volume No Winter Levent Bastürk This article is a section of my ongoing study on religion, politics, and society in Turkey. It is still in the form of a draft which needs contributions and criticism by all those concerned with the subject. During the reign of the Motherland Party (M. P., ANAP in its Turkish initials) governments (1983-1991) in Turkey, the hegemony of the state-favored private capital began to erode with the rise of new entrepreneurs who have small or middle town origin and religious outlook. This process has led to important economic and social changes and differentiation within religious segments. As a result, Islamic oriented middle class has realized an important capital accumulation. In this process, tarikat s and cemaat s played important roles by channeling the communal solidarity and consciousness into economic activities in the form of favor and support to the entrepreneurs associated with the tarikat and cemaat . Reciprocal relationships between government circles and the tarikat and cemaat s facilitated the integration of these socio-religious institutions into modern economic activities. Nevertheless, together with the capital accumulation of Islamic oriented segments, consumption habits of religious masses began to transform into bourgeoisie consumption patterns. Especially the leverage and power which the

     Extractions: Volume No Spring Levent Baþtürk Part 1 of this article was published in anadolu vol. 5, no. 4 , Winter 1995. In terms of consumption of images as commodity, the emergence of "Muslim media" constitutes another impressive case. Muslim media has emerged with the claim to transmit the Islamic message to the masses and to confront the negative image presented by the mainstream media against the Islamic oriented segments. Although the Muslim media, whose center of gravity is the tarikat and cemaat television and radio channels and publications (dailies, weeklies, and monthlies), emerged as a counter-balance against the mainstream media, it has been an important source to introduce modern life-styles to the masses. Thus, it began to take on the role of integrating religious segments into consumer culture. Consequently, "Islamization" of an aspect of modern life leads to selective adoption of the prevailing stylistic features of consumption culture. The image of the "acceptable Muslim" presented by the "Muslim media" is the one who dresses with the favorite brands and behaves in a "civilized" manner (re-stylization of Muslim identity). Like television channels of mainstream media, talk-shows started appear on "Islamic" television channels which contributes to the presentation of a mediatic/artistic personality as an ideal type. This ideal type reflects a modern consumer identity whose consciousness is under the influence of the process of production and consumption. According to Yýldýrým, a review of the Islamic periodicals, television channels, and radio stations will show how consumerism began to be widespread among the religious segments.

     Extractions: Yet across the country, thanks to Jones Soda's off-the-wall inspiration, people were talking about the outfit, which is precisely what Van Stolks wanted when he launched what turned out to be a surprisingly painstaking process to develop a drink that some who have sampled it swear is actually not all that bad. All told, it required 30 attempts to perfect the flavor, which Eric Chastain, Jones's operating manager, describes as tasting like microwaved Thanksgiving leftovers. "It's a sipping soda, it's not something you gulp down after mowing the grass," he notes. Adds Van Stolks: "When you try it, I don't really think you're going to want to drink a couple of them." Of the free publicity Jones Soda achieved, radio was the most valuable. That's because the outfit's target market is teenagers, who are devoted radio listeners. According to Van Stolks, paid ads would never have produced the same result. "In today's environment, the average consumer sees and hears about 3,000 marketing messages a day," he notes. "So a nontraditional approach seems to be more effective."

     Extractions: Discover Turkey Anatolia in Pictures (A short story of civilizations of Anatolia, includes sample images of great works of Anatolians from the end of the third ice-age to the 20th century) Civilizations in Anatolia Links to related sites In 1055 a group of Central Asiatic Turks, the SELJUKS, conquered Baghdad and established a Middle Eastern and Anatolian empire. When this empire was broken up by the Mongol invasion, one of the remaining local powers became known as the Ottoman dynasty, after its leader OSMAN I. The OTTOMAN EMPIRE spread from northwestern Anatolia and captured Constantinople in 1453. At the peak of their power the Ottomans controlled much of the eastern Mediterranean. The Ottomans had a sophisticated system of internal administration and also organized the first standing army in Europe. As the Ottoman Empire began to collapse under its own weight in the 18th and 19th centuries, it became a battleground for rival European powers, wedged as it was between the Russian and Austrian empires (see EASTERN QUESTION). By the outbreak of World War I the Ottoman Empire had essentially been divided into spheres of influence by the great European powers, but a reform movement was active within the Ottoman Empire itself. The YOUNG TURKS brought about a revolution in 1908 and were successful in introducing civil and social reforms of far-reaching consequence. In 1922, however, the Turks, led by Mustafa Kemal (later known as Kemal ATATURK) and Ismet INONU, defeated the armies occupying Anatolia. Inonu then won what has been called "the greatest diplomatic victory in history" when the Treaty of Lausanne (see LAUSANNE, TREATY OF) recognized the Republic of Turkey. The republic was declared on Oct. 29, 1923, and Ataturk was elected its first president. Turkey remained neutral in World War II until it joined the Allies in February 1945. Turkey joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1952.
