Lets enjoy the honour of being an Erciyes University student. With all my love and regards and hopes for success... Prof. Dr. Cengiz UTAŞ Rector O, Turkish Youth! Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the Turkish Independence and the Turkish Republic. This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend your independence and your republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore, they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted. Youth of Turkey’s future, Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic. You will find the strength you need in your noble blood.

Despite the history of the city dating back to 4000 B.C., its main claim to fame was attained in the era of Romans as the centre of Cappadocia. The name Kayseri was originally Casseria, because at some time in the history of the city, it was reconstructed by Caesar. At the end of the 11th century, Kayseri was conquered by the Anatolian Seljuks, and became a major cultural and scientific centre. At this time, the first Turkish-Islamic campus in Anatolia was built - the Hunat Hatun Medresse Complex. This religious building was dedicated to Hunat Hatun in 1276, and included a mosque, a medresse, Turkish baths and a soup kitchen. In the era of the Anatolian Seljuks, a large number of historical works, such as mosques, medresses and tombs were constructed, and these have endured the duration of time and can be visited today. There is also a historical covered bazaar, the third largest in Turkey, which is still a shopping centre in the present-day Kayseri. Kayseri lies on the Silk Road which resulted in Kayseri becoming one of the first textile and industrial centers in Turkey. Kayseri is still world famous for its hand-woven silk and wool carpets. Kanish and Karum ruins, the Assyrian and Hittites centres, lie 22km to the east of Kayseri. As well as a great number of pre- KAYSERI Prospectus 3 Erciyes Üniversity historic ruins and abandoned buildings (Hittite, Assyrian, Greek and Roman), the city of Kayseri also has in its possession many Ottoman and Seljuk historical relics dating back to these ancient civilizations. A great many historical large inns and caravansaries can still be seen in and around the city - some of which are spectacular. Sultan Han, Karatay Caravansary, and İncesu Karamustafa Pasha Caravansary to name but a few.
