History of Turkey
Till Ancient times, Anatolia is one of the oldest continually inhabited regions in the
world, and it has repeatedly served as a battleground for foreign powers. The earliest major
empire in the area was that of the HITTITES, from the 18th through the 13th century BC.
Subsequently, the Phrygians, an Indo-European people, achieved ascendancy until their
kingdom was destroyer by the CIMMERIANS in the 7th century BC. The most powerful of
Phrygia's successor states was LYDIA. Coastal Anatolia (IONIA) mean while was settled by
Greeks. The entire area was overrun by the Persians during the 6th and 5th centuries and
felt on Alexander the Great in 334 BC. Anatolia was subsequently divided into a number of
small Hellenistic kingdoms, all of which had succumbed to Rome by the mid-1st century BC.
In AD 324 the Roman emperor CONSTANTINE I chose Constantinople, now Istanbul, as the
capital of the Roman Empire. It subsequently became the capital of the Eastern Roman or
BYZANTINE EMPIRE. 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. By the outbreak of World War I the Ottoman Empire
had essentially been divided into spheres of influence by the great European powers, but
their movement was active within the Ottoman Empire itself. The YOUNG TURKS brought
about a revolution in 1908 and were successful introducing civil and social reforms of farreaching consequence.

The history of modern Turkey begins with the foundation of the republic on October
29,1923 (the Republic was declared on January 20, 1921), with Mustafa Kemal first
president. The government was formed from the Ankara-based revolutionary group, led on
April 20, 1924. For about the next 10 years, the country saw a which included the unification
of education, the discontinuation of religious and other titles, the closure of Islamic courts
and the replacement of Islamic canon law with a secular civil code modeled after
Switzerland's and a penal code modeled after the Italian Penal Code, recognition of the
equality between the sexes and the granting of full political rights to women on 5 December
1934, the language reform initiated by the newly founded Turkish Language Association,
replacement of the Ottoman Turkish Alphabet with the new Turkish Alphabet derived from
the Latin Alphabet, the dress law (the wearing of a fez, a traditional Muslim hat, is
outlawed), the law on family names, and many others.
Turkish Culture
Turkish Culture is fascinating, but sometimes confusing, blends of seemingly
contrasting elements. While 99% of the population is Muslim and Islam has a strong
influence on Turkish History, culture, and daily life. Turkey is officially and firmly a secular
state. It is illegal for women to wear head scarves in classrooms or government offices. The
scarf is considered to be a symbol of a political ideology, and not only a reflection of a
religious belief. Formal courtesy and hospitality are central components of Turkish Culture,
yet bureaucratic regulations can be enormously frustrating when dealing with any aspect of
Turkish officialdom. The change in culture of Turkish people within the last century is very
surprising.
Today,
Turkey

that

extreme depiction of east
and west culture and many

multi-federation state that enabled the people not to mix with each other. From the cultural
view point, balkanization was the end of Ottoman Empire. Turkish Republic adapted a
unitary approach, which was forcing all the different cultures within its borders to mix with
each other under the name of Turkish. The mixing, instead of assimilation is the end result of
many grey tones. 83 years of transformation undeniably produced many grey colors of eastwest duality. These pictures should be taken as a proof achievement of Turkish democracy
as a cauldron of ideas and representations.

Foods and Drinks in Izmir
Food and meals are taken seriously in Turkey, and many people become very fond of
Turkish Cuisine. Breakfast is substantial, and in the Turkish home or restaurant generally
consists of bread, feta cheese, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, yogurt, fruit, small Turkish
pastries, tea, and coffee. Lunch is generally a relatively light meal and usual (similar to Greek
gyros), or kebab (grilled meat). Dinner is generally served usually around 8 p.m. The
traditional Turkish dinner is formal and multi-course, beginning with antipasto, small dishes
or appetizers eaten sequentially with salad and bread. The main meal often includes a soup,
meat course, vegetable course, and dessert. Izmir’s cuisine has largely been affected by its
multicultural history, hence the large variety of food originating from the Aegean,
Mediterranean and Anatolian regions. Another factor is the large area of land surrounding
the region which grows a rich selection of vegetables. Some of the common dishes found
here are "Tarhana soup" (made from dried yoghurt and tomatoes), "Izmir Meatball",
"Keskek" (boiled wheat with meat) "Zerde" (sweetened rice with saffron) and "Mucver"
(made from squash and eggs).

Sightseeing in Izmir
Kemeraltı Bazaar : The big bazaar in the city centre stretches from the coast road to
the Konak area, and is a major shopping centre with a vast array of goods inside. It combines
modern businesses, shops and cafes, with antiques, dried fruit, household and leather goods
in old alleyways with vaults and domes.
Inside the bazaar, there is one of the most interesting structures of Izmir: Kizlaragasi
Hani is an Ottoman caravanserai inside the Halim Aga Bazaar and was completed in 1745.
This covered market sells hand-made products, carpets, leather and souvenirs. There are
many entrances to the markets, from Basmane, Konak and Anafartalar. Konak is one of the
oldest areas of the city, with most of the buildings that survived the great fire, although the
traditional areas are gradually being modernized. This is the location of the city’s landmark,
the Saat Kulesi (Ottoman clock tower) decorated with tiles.

Asansör (Elevator) : The elevator was constructed by Jewish businessman Nesim Levi
in 1907, in order to make life easier for the local residents to go to their mansions on the top
of the hill. These days tourists use it to admire the views of the old streets and houses of
Mithatpasa. Located in the heart of Izmir’s old Jewish quarter, it is housed in a 50m-high
brick tower and after refurbishment in 1992 it now contains a café on the top floor, and the
original hydraulics are exhibited on the ground floor. In its heyday in the 1930s, it also
contained a theatre, cinema, refreshment stall and photographer’s shop.
Kültürpark : The big Kulturpark in the city centre is one of the densest green areas in
Izmir, covering 30 hectares. There is a zoo, artificial lake, parachute tower, open-air theatre

Ephesus
Although ancient writes claim
that the name of Ephesus derives
from an Amazon Queen’s name, the
archaeological finds reveals that The
Carians and Lelegians, the native
peoples of Anatolia, had settled here
long before the Ionians’ arrival.
Ephesus was first established in6000
B.C and grew up around the Temple
of Artemis. The Ephesians started to
move to the new city built by
Lysimachus in the 3rd century B.C.
The following is the list of the
various ruins of Ephesus as they
appear from the upper gate, which leads to the House of Virgin Mary, to the lower gate.

of the city. It contained the altar of Hestia Boulaia, where a sacred fire burnt perpetually for
centuries and was never extinguished. This the find spot of the two great statues of the
Ephesian Artemis which are displayed at the museum now. The building was built in the 3rd
century B.C during the reign of Lysimachus. The ruins seen today are dated to 1st century
A.D. Two later temples near the site were dedicated to Emperor Julius Caesar and Dea
Roma, the divine personification of the city of Rome.

Agora
Agora means “a meeting place, city square, marketplace or bazaar”. In the Ancient
Times, agora was known not only with its commercial, political and religious functions but
also as a place where art activities were concentrated and many social events were held.
Generally there were two agoras in the big cities. One of them was the state agora where
the state affairs were dealt with and various public buildings were located around it whereas
the other one was the commercial agora where commercial activities were concentrated.
Visited today and located in Namazgah, the agora in İzmir constituted the state agora of the
city. Mosque, Church and Synagogues The most important mosques in the city are Hisar, Yali
(Konak), Salepcioglu and Kestane Pazari Mosque. Others in the city include Sadirvan,
Basdurak, Kemeralti (built in1812), Faik Pasa, (repaired in 1842), Han Bey, Hatuniye Mosque,
Seyh, Fettah, Yali, Ali Aga, Selvili Mescit, Abdullah Efendi and Iki Cesmelik Mosque. St.
Polycarp Church, in Gaziosmanpasa, is the oldest church in Izmir and was lavishly rebuilt in
the 19th century by the French. St Polycarp was Smyrna’s first bishop, and when he refused
to follow the orders of the Romans to renounce his faith, he was burnt at the stake.
Beaches
The province of Izmir has a large size coastline on the Aegean, with beaches and areas for
water sports easily accessible from the city by private or public transport from Uckuyular bus
station. Good beaches include Pamucak, Urla, Gulbahce, Cesme, Altinkum, Foca and Dikili.
Yacht Ports
The area south of the Cesme peninsula is a significant part of the yachting routes, and the
area between Cesme and Kusadasi is especially popular. Just south of Cesme is Alacati
Harbor, which can accommodate 80 yachts and has many facilities. Urla Harbour can
accommodate 20 boats with another 175 in the fisherman’s shelter, and 80 in Ozbekkoy
harbor.
Art, Culture and Amusement
For many years Izmir has enjoyed its reputation as a cosmopolitan city of culture. The
Ataturk Cultural Centre hosts weekend concerts by the Izmir State Symphony Orchestra, and
the Izmir State Opera and Ballet perform in an Ottoman art deco building on Milli Kutuphane
Caddesi. During the summer there are events at the open-air theatre in the Kulturpark, and

in original language with subtitles. Regular nightlife includes a host of bars and nightclubs in
the wealthy suburb of Alsansak, with more venues on Birinci Kordon and the surrounding
streets. The cinemas around the city centre tend to show blockbuster American films, many
of which are dubbed into Turkish.

Turkish is vowel harmony, "sour cherry" is closed unround front and e is open unround front.
Stress is usually on the last syllable, with the exception of some suffix combinations, and
words like masa ['masa].
