Now that Hayat Tahrir al-Sham has emerged as the victors of the Syrian civil war, it’s tempting to imagine the country restored to some semblance of stability. In truth, there is no stability to restore. As much as the civil war was a sectarian and ideological conflict, it was also always a war created and fueled by the country’s fundamental geography. The end of this chapter of war likely means the beginning of the next chapter of conflict.

Geography has always punished Syria. The country lacks significant natural barriers, both within its territory and along its borders. To the west lies the Mediterranean, a route for trade—and thus for military invasions. To the east lies the Euphrates River Valley. The south is bordered by desert and the north by the plains at the southern foothills of the Taurus Mountains. In essence, Syria’s geography offers neither external defenses to deter invasions nor internal strongholds as a last line of defense. Most of modern Syria’s borders are artificial rather than natural. The southern border is a straight line, and the eastern border is similarly arbitrary. This has resulted in fragile boundaries, contributing to Syria’s historical lack of independence and a weak national identity.

The country’s fragmented geography has divided the territory into six separate parts: an oasis in the southwest, a gateway in the north, a coastal strip in the west, a rugged plateau in the south, a north-south corridor, and flat, barren land in the east.

Behind the mountains of Lebanon lies an oasis bordered by mountains on one side and desert on the other. Damascus is situated at its center, functioning much like a small fortress. Although Damascus is located in the heart of the Levant, access routes to the rest of the country are sparse and rare. It is unsurprising, therefore, that the ruler of Damascus requires a militarized government with an iron fist to govern the entirety of this fragmented nation.

In the north lies Aleppo, a natural trade gateway between Asia Minor to the north and Mesopotamia to the east, connecting with the Levant. The rulers of Asia Minor—Romans, then the Ottomans, and now modern-day Turkey—have always cast covetous eyes on this densely populated commercial hub. Aleppo’s vulnerability to the powers of Asia Minor, coupled with its confidence derived from its strategic trade position, has consistently made it the most significant rival to Damascus in Syria. Therefore, controlling this economic center is the most critical step for the ruler of Damascus.

To the west, a narrow and low mountain range overlooks the Mediterranean, forming a long but thin coastal strip that has historically been a refuge for religious minorities such as Alawites and Christians. These minorities have consistently faced pressure from Sunni rulers based farther afield, whether at the mouth of the Nile or along the shores of the Sea of Marmara. Latakia and Tartus are located here, providing crucial access to the outside world. It is no wonder that alliances with distant foreign powers—first France and now Russia—have been forged through this coastline. Controlling this coastal region is essential to maintaining ties with external allies, which together forms the foundation of the ruler of Damascus’s power in this frontier land.

Between these two regions lies a corridor parallel to the Orontes River, connecting the oasis of Damascus to Aleppo’s trade gateway. The cities of Homs and Hama are situated along this corridor. On one hand, maintaining control over Aleppo is only possible through this passage; on the other hand, rebellion against Damascus often involves disrupting the security of this corridor. In other words, the Damascus-Aleppo route serves simultaneously as a corridor of control and a corridor of revolt. It is no coincidence that the Orontes River is also known as the “Rebel River.”

To the east is the Euphrates River Valley and a vast expanse of flat but barren land, which forms part of the Jazira region. Jazira spans northern Iraq, southeastern Turkey, and northeastern Syria, encompassing three major cities: Mosul, Amid (now Diyarbakir), and Raqqa. These areas were historically home to three Arab-speaking tribes: Rabia, Bakr, and Mudar. Unlike Diyarbakir, the other two regions are predominantly Arab-speaking and serve as strongholds for nomadic tribes with high mobility. The land is uniform, and the people share similar religious and linguistic characteristics, stretching from Mosul to Raqqa. Throughout history, these two areas have been closely linked, such that the ruler of Mosul, rather than the ruler of Damascus, has often governed Raqqa—and vice versa. Geography has thus laid the foundation for the potential emergence of an independent realm stretching from the Tigris to the Euphrates in northern Mesopotamia.

The rugged terrain of Jabal al-Druze and the Hauran Plateau in the south, near the Jordanian border, constitutes yet another region of the country. This area has provided a safe haven for persecuted sects such as the Druze. Unlike most of the country, which is predominantly Sunni Muslim, the southern mountains and especially the coastal strip are notable for their diversity of religious and sectarian minorities. However, this diversity has not produced unity. It is unsurprising that these minorities, incapable of forming stable coalitions against the Sunni majority, have often looked to maritime powers in distant lands to balance the internal Sunni dominance.

Thus, geography has fragmented Syria: Damascus, the besieged capital, has limited access to other regions; Aleppo has been under the influence of Constantinople-Istanbul; the insecure corridor of Homs-Hama-Idlib connects the political center to the commercial gateway. Mosul has always been under the control of a unified power. The narrow Mediterranean coastal strip and Jabal al-Druze are entirely separate regions. Damascus, the country’s capital, had never held sway over Aleppo and Raqqa before the creation of modern Syria.

One of the most significant roots of the absence of a strong national authority lies in the fragmented geography of this country. In the absence of national sovereignty, the country’s national identity has also remained weak. As a result, Syria has become a target for attacks and conspiracies by other regional and international powers. More importantly, viable and accessible alternatives can disrupt its territorial integrity. For this reason, governments have resorted to iron-fisted repression to prevent potential internal collapse.

Military campaigns, trade exchanges, and religious interactions have all contributed to the historical fragmentation and instability of Syria, a land inhabited by people of diverse ethnicities, languages, and religions. Amid persistent internal tensions among these heterogeneous populations in a land with millennia of history, the establishment of a unified, independent national government has proved extraordinarily challenging. Not surprisingly, Syria fell entirely under the dominion of great empires (the Assyrians, the Achaemenid Persians, the Arabs, and the Ottomans). At other times, it became the contested frontier between two major powers (Rome and Parthia, Byzantium and the Sasanians, the Ilkhanate and the Mamluks). In short, Syria epitomizes a “borderland” in West Asia.

Independent Syria, however, faced numerous challenges: the lack of a strong national identity and the fragility of its government. Its defeat in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War not only further destabilized Syria’s fledgling republic but also amplified the ideology of Pan-Arabism to such an extent that Syria, along with Egypt and later North Yemen as the United Arab States, established the United Arab Republic (UAR) under Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser’s leadership. The collapse of the UAR and even the disastrous defeat in the 1967 Six-Day War did not diminish the power of this ideology. With Hafez al-Assad’s coup and the rise of Baathist rule in 1970, Syria achieved apparent political stability—though through an iron-fisted regime. In short, the early years of independence, marked by short-lived governments and the absence of a stable political system, turned Syria into fertile ground for radical ideologies such as Pan-Arabism and later Islamic fundamentalism. Yet the Baathist regime appeared to resolve the issue of political fragility.

Nevertheless, the waves of the Arab Spring reached Syria’s gates, sparking a civil war fueled by foreign Salafi militias and exacerbated by extreme violence from Syrian forces. This war resulted in mass displacement and the destruction of the country’s infrastructure. Once again, geography played a decisive role in Syria’s destructive civil war. The Islamic State took control of Raqqa and dominated Mosul. Damascus maintained its hold over the Mediterranean coast, ensuring support from its distant ally Russia, while opposition forces, backed by Turkey, controlled Aleppo. The majority of battles centered on the corridor linking Damascus through Homs and Hama to Aleppo’s trade gateway. The first phase of the civil war ended with Assad and his Russian-Iranian allies’ victory, as they secured control of the corridor.

The geographical logic has always dictated that whoever held the Homs-Hama corridor would emerge as the decisive victor in Syria. Assad’s fall became inevitable when the rebels gained control over that stretch of land. Those same rebels, having now taken over Damascus, might believe the fate of Syria is now in their hands. They will soon learn, however, that they will never be able to dominate the country’s geography.

St. SEBASTIANA, DISCIPLE OF St. PAUL THE APOSTLE, MARTYRED AT HERACLEA (86).

The Holy Martyr Sebastiana was a follower of the holy Apostle Paul. During a persecution against Christians under the emperor Dometian (81-96), she was on trial as a Christian before the governor named Georgios in the city of Marcianopolis in the Mizea region.

Saint Sebastiana firmly confessed her faith in Christ, and for this she was subjected to cruel tortures. At first they beat her, and then they threw her into a red-hot oven, from which she emerged unharmed. They sent the saint to the city of Heraklea, where sentence was pronounced on her a second time.

The governor, named Pompian, gave orders to tie the saint to a tree and lacerate her body with roof tiles. The martyr remained unbroken in her faith. Then the governor gave her to be eaten by wild beasts. The Lord also preserved the holy martyr, and the beasts refused to touch her. Then, by order of the governor, Saint Sebastiana was beheaded. Her body, thrown into the sea, was taken by angels to the island of Rhodes (in Thrace, in the Sea of Marmara).

TRANSLATION OF THE RELICS OF ST ALEXI OF MOSCOW (2001).

...not seeking mine own profit but the profit of many, that they may be saved (I Cor. 10:33)

These words were spoken at the funeral of Archpriest Alexey Mechev who, in the years proceeding his death in 1923, was popularly esteemed among Moscow' s outstanding pastors. He was a rare example of a married priest endowed with clairvoyance, a gift which enabled him to heal countless battered souls, in the tradition of the great Optina elders whose spiritual offspring he was. And like St. John of Kronstadt, another of his mentors, this skilled physician operated in the midst of a great metropolis with all the complexities that this brings to life.

Although no formal biography exists, memoirs left by his spiritual children reveal a wealth of pastoral experience and counsel that can be effectively applied even now to souls oppressed by the multiple distractions and demands of today's world.

Fr. Alexey was born in 1860, the son of a choir director in the service of the great Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow (+1867). The family lived in modest circumstances. "I never had a room of my own," Fr. Alexey recalled. "All my life I've lived with people around!" Judging from the only extant letter to his wife Anna, he was happily married; they had several children before her tragically premature death. None of the children appear to have remained close to their father with the exception of a son Sergius who succeeded Fr. Alexey as priest at St. Nicholas' church on Maroseyka street, before joining the ranks of Russia's New Martyrs in 1941.

Fr. Alexey's success did not blossom overnight. Describing the early years of his pastorate he said:

"For eight years I served the Liturgy daily in an empty church. One archpriest said to me: 'No matter when I pass by your church, the bells are always ringing. Once I went in--nobody. Nothing will come of it. You're ringing in vain." But Fr. Alexey steadfastly continued serving--and the people began to come, many people. He would tell this story when asked how to establish a parish. The answer was always the same: "Pray."

"In his domestic life," writes one of his spiritual children, "Batiushka was extremely simple and humble. In his study, in his little room, there were piles of books--some lying open, letters, lots of prosphora on the table, a folded epitrachelion lying together with a cross and Gospel, and little icons. The general chaos indicated that Batiushka was always busy, that he never had spare time, that there was always waiting for him--at home, on the street, in church--some great task calling for his love and self-sacrifice."

"Live for others, and you yourself will be saved." This was Fr. Alexey's motto. "To be with people," he would say, "to live their life, rejoice in their joys, sorrow over their misfortunes ... herein lies the meaning and way of life for a Christian, and especially for a pastor."

Fr. Alexey's own life was consumed in the service of others, The same spiritual son writes: "Outside his apartment the line of laboring and heavy-laden stood from early morning. And Batiushka managed to have a talk with each of them, to caress, to console ..." "Never, it seems," recalls another, "was he ever alone. He was always with people, and in sight of people; it was as though the walls of his room were glass -everything was visible ... He told me two or three times toward the end that he'd like to be off by himself, that people were getting the best of him. But that was just two or three times--no more. “Let' s all go to a monastery!” he'd say half in jest. 'You, me--all of us together!'"

Many people, particularly intellectuals, had difficulty understanding and accepting Fr. Alexey's approach because, quite simply, they didn't understand the essence of Christianity. This is well illustrated by the case of Vladimir S.:

Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth

"I became acquainted with Batiushka soon after the February Revolution of 1917. I remember that when I first went to the church on Maroseyka, there was a lot there that bothered me. It was, in fact, a real conflict between the mind and the heart, between adherence to the law on the one hand, and a profound love--covering and fulfilling the law--on the other hand ... I was bothered because my love for God was weak, because I saw religion simply as a path towards satisfying a thirsty and curious intellect. I liked the strict, well-ordered and harmonious system of dogmas, I delighted in the beauty and universal conformity of the ecclesiastical rites. I believed in God, I was devoted to the Church, but I had little love for the Lord. And this cold, rational attitude towards religion subsequently ruined me, and even led me to leave Batiushka ...

"When I came to Maroseyka ... I saw the following: a priest of small stature, with a lined face and tangled beard, was serving together with an old deacon. The priest wore a faded, violet kamilavka; he served somehow hurriedly and, it seemed, carelessly: he was forever coming out of the altar to give confession at the cliros; sometimes he talked or searched for someone with his eyes; he himself carried out and distributed the prosphora.

"All this--and especially the confession during Liturgy--had an irritating effect on me. And the fact that a woman read the Epistle, and that there were too many communicants, and the uncalled-for Blessing of the Water [after Liturgy] ... None of this agreed with my conviction that conformity in church rites was absolutely essential. /.../

"[But gradually] I became involuntarily attached to Maroseyka; I became accustomed to the church services, and their deviations from the Typicon no longer bothered me. On the contrary, nowhere could I pray so fervently as at Maroseyka. Here one sensed that the walls were permeated by prayer, one sensed a contagious prayerful atmosphere which one didn't find in other churches. Some people, whether by tradition or out of desire to hear a deacon and choir, go to wealthy and renowned churches; here people came for one reason alone--to pray ...

"It happened that one would come to Father Alexey with some complex dogmatic problem. He would say with a smile: 'Why are you asking me; I'm an ignoramus' ... 'You're forever wanting to live through your mind; you should try to live as I do--through the heart.' This 'life through the heart' explained many of the deviations in church service which Batiushka permitted. When reason said that it was necessary to observe the prescriptions of the Typicon--not to confess during Liturgy, not to take out prosphora after the Cherubic Hymn, not to communicate late-comers at the north door after Liturgy, etc., etc.--Batiushka's heart, burning and overflowing with love, caused him to disregard reason.

'How can I possibly refuse someone confession,' he would say. 'Perhaps this confession is the person's last hope, perhaps by turning him away I may cause the ruin of his soul. Christ didn't refuse anyone. He said to everyone: "Come unto Me ..." You say, What about the law? But where there is no love, the law does not work unto salvation; true love, however, is the fulfillment of the law (Rom. 13:8-10).'"

Vladimir's comments may leave the impression that Fr. Alexey didn't particularly care or wasn't well-versed in the Church service rules. This isn't true:

"A first-rate expert on the Typicon and the services, he noticed everything, saw everything, all the mistakes and omissions in the service, especially with those young people with whom he served in his latter years (and he loved serving with them). But he left the impression that he saw nothing, noticed nothing. After some time had passed, at a convenient and appropriate moment, he'd bring up the matter and correct it. The more glaring errors--or the ones which had some bearing on the service--he'd correct himself in a manner so discreet that it passed unnoticed by the server who had erred, much less by the congregation: he himself would start to sing in the proper manner, or would do something that someone else was supposed to have done. This is a very rare quality among the clergy."

Fr. Alexey often said that "each person has his own particular path to salvation. One mustn't set a common path for everyone; one mustn't try to workout a formula for salvation which would apply to all people. People are born with different natures, different abilities, intellects and constitutions--so, too, they each go towards Christ at their own pace, each on his own path. Because of this, Christianity considers equally soul-saving the chaste monastic life and marital life, the priesthood and laity, the rank of soldier and the rank of judge--as long as Christ dwells in the heart ... And the task of an elder or a spiritual father is to uncover a person's calling and to point out to him the path which he should take towards the Lord."

With his gift of clairvoyance, Fr. Alexey had no need to speak to his "patients" in order to diagnose their maladies. And his "treatments" showed this masterful physician to be a man "not of words, but of spirit, of power:"

"It seemed that Batiushka didn't really say much; from his face alone, his smile, his eyes, there streamed such gentleness, such understanding, that this in itself comforted and encouraged a person without any words ... He actually, as he himself put it, 'unloaded' people's sins; he transformed people from despairing, oppressed pessimists into Christians constantly rejoicing in the Lord. One had only to glance at his commemoration book, checkered with hundreds of names of both living and dead, a book he always had with him, and one understood the words which he spoke, pointing to his heart: 'I carry you all here.’”

The scope of Fr. Alexey’s pastoral influence may be judged by the tens of thousands who gathered for his funeral. The liturgy was served by Bishop Theodore Pozdeyev (later, archbishop and New Martyr), attended by 80 clergymen--hierarchs, priests and deacons. The imprisoned Patriarch Tikhon, freed for a few hours, met the cortege at the St. Lazarus cemetery, where he served a lity for the deceased. Altogether, it was a fitting tribute to this remarkable pastor who had been, for so many, a stepping-stone to God.

(Quotations translated from Otets Aleksei Mechev; YMCA Press, Paris, 1970)

Galatians 2:16-20

16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. 17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19 For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Mark 8:34-9:1

34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it. 36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.

1 And He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power."

Turkey has emerged as a pivotal player in the global fertiliser trade, thanks to its strategic geographical location and well-developed infrastructure. Situated at the crossroads of East and West, Turkey serves as a natural bridge between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, making it an essential hub for fertiliser trading routes.

In the past three years, Turkey has seen impressive growth in fertiliser trade, with imports reaching approximately 7.5 million tonnes annually and exports exceeding 1.5 million tonnes. This increase in trade volume highlights the country’s growing influence in the global fertiliser market.

Local investors have significantly contributed to this development by establishing bonded warehouses in the southern region of the country. These warehouses enhance Turkey’s storage capacity and improve the efficiency of fertiliser distribution both domestically and internationally. This infrastructure, coupled with Turkey’s own fertiliser production capabilities, positions the country as a reliable supplier in the region.

Turkey’s ports in the Black Sea, Marmara Sea, and the Mediterranean provide vital access to key markets across Europe, North Africa, and beyond. These ports are strategically located to facilitate the smooth flow of goods, making Turkey a crucial transit point for fertilisers destined for various global markets

In addition to its maritime strengths, Turkey’s inland logistics network offers seamless connectivity to the Middle East. This makes it easier to move fertilisers to and from this resource-rich region, further solidifying Turkey’s role as a central hub in the fertiliser trade.

As global demand for fertilisers continues to grow, Turkey’s strategic location, robust infrastructure, and increasing trade volumes make it a key player in the global fertiliser supply chain.

I am on my way to Istanbul to participate in the Argus Fertilizers event and looking forward to seeing you there!

By Bernard Rorke

On June 26, a group of police officers attacked a wedding party in the Çerkezköy Roma Neighbourhood in the city of Tekirdağ in the Marmara region. The police alleged the celebrations had gone over time. They cautioned the wedding guests in abusive terms and then set about beating those present with batons. Many of those injured took medical reports from a hospital affirming that their injuries were inflicted by police. The officers did not want their actions recorded, and attacked those who attempted to take videos of the incident, as can be seen from the short video posted by the media outlet Roman Haber on their Facebook page.

The second incident occurred in Hendek, in the city Sakarya, close to Istanbul, where a large number of Roma, including Ferdi Sepetçioğlu, the president of the Hendek Roma Association, were beaten by police and security guards. A video of this second incident, also shared on Facebook by Roman Haber, appears to show people fleeing from baton-wielding uniformed officers as they violently wade into the crowd.

"Police violence has been ordinarised and has become a part of daily life” according to the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey's documentation center. Police target and routinely attack public demonstrations by the LGBTQ community, feminists, environmentalists and the Kurds with excessive violence.

Most recently, in the earthquake region, Human Rights Watch described credible reports of police, gendarmes, and military personnel subjecting people they suspect of crimes to violent and prolonged beatings and arbitrary, unofficial detention, as a shocking indictment of law enforcement practices in Turkey’s earthquake region: “Law enforcement officials are treating the state of emergency for the natural disaster as a license to torture, otherwise ill-treat and even kill with impunity.”

What is less apparent and most overlooked is violence against Roma in Turkey. On 11 May 2023, a 33-year-old, father-of-three Semih Gürler was shot shot dead by a police officer while he stood outside on the balcony of a house in the Konak district of Izmir.

In a recent case, Romani victims of racially-aggravated violence and torture who filed a complaint against four police officers, found themselves charged before a Turkish criminal court. The victims are supported by Romani Godi and the ERRC. This case is important, according to Serkan Baysak, ERRC’s Human Rights Monitor for Turkey and founder of Romani Godi, precisely because so many similar cases happen and remain invisible. Even more important is a fair outcome, which according to Baysak, could encourage more Romani victims of police violence to come forward, and “send a message that they can fight for justice.”

These latest two incidents form part of a wider pattern of routine violence and intimidation by law enforcement against Roma. The ERRC and Romani Godi will continue to investigate the circumstances to decide on appropriate action.

The Megali Idea (Greek: Μεγάλη Ιδέα, romanized: Megáli Idéa, lit. 'Great Idea')[1] is a nationalist[2][3] and irredentist concept that expresses the goal of reviving the Byzantine Empire,[4] by establishing a Greek state, which would include the large Greek populations that were still under Ottoman rule after the end of the Greek War of Independence (1821–1828) and all the regions that had large Greek populations (parts of the Southern Balkans, Anatolia and Cyprus).[5]

The Megali Idea implies establishing a Greek state, which would be a territory encompassing mostly the former Byzantine lands from the Ionian Sea in the west to Anatolia and the Black Sea to the east and from Thrace, Macedonia and Epirus in the north to Crete and Cyprus to the south. This new state would have Constantinople as its capital: it would be the "Greece of Two Continents and Five Seas" (Europe and Asia, the Ionian, Aegean, Marmara, Black and Libyan Seas). If realized, this would expand modern Greece to roughly the same size and extent of the later Byzantine Empire, after its restoration in 1261 AD. The Megali Idea dominated foreign policy and domestic politics of Greece from the War of Independence in the 1820s through the Balkan wars in the beginning of the 20th century. It started to fade after the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922), followed by the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923

Everything You Need to Know About Choosing Turkey Travel Packages

In the regional Turkish language, Turkey is often referred to as Türkiye. It is primarily found in Western Asia, in the Anatolian peninsula. Since one leg is connected to Europe and the other to Asia, it is also referred to as a bridge between the two continents. The Black Sea, Marmara Sea, Aegean Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea border the nation on three sides. It is the homeland of Turks who long ago migrated from Mongolia's interior. Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, and Syria are all within modern Turkey's borders.

When it comes to the area, the Turkish race initially settled in western modern Turkey, where they went on to reside under the name Selcuk Beylics. The Osmanoullar community was established in the region where Bursa was the capital, some 4-5 hours' drive from Istanbul today, as a result of the separation of Selçuk Beylics into several groups over time. They transferred the capital from Bursa to Istanbul in later years. They lived through the golden eras when their borders stretched across tremendous periods. They eventually reached a point of stagnation and dissolution and handed the historical reins over to the Modern Turkish Republic.

Battle of Asykavya ( 28/09/77 )

The Battle of Ashykavya took place on the 28th, Tuz 77th of the Turkish calendar, between the crusaders of the Balt Rhain and the Turks led by Tughril Mahmud Pasha. It is also known as the Battle of the Valley of the Volcanoes, due to the extinct volcanic forms in the nearby Ashkavya Valley. The Turkiye army under Mahmud Pasha captured or killed most of the Balt Rhain Crusaders, depriving them of the ability to fight. As a direct result of the battle, Turkiye became the leading military force in Rumeliana, conquering Phenicia and many other Crusader-held cities in Southern Rumeliana. This defeat precipitated the Battle of Muchever, which started 4 months after the Battle of Ashkavya. which then ended with a peace treaty between Turkiye - Balt Rhain through the Florence Agreement.

Background

The development of balt Rhain and Turkiye's military power reversed towards the middle of the 77th year of the turkiye calendar. where there was a split in the body of the Balt Rhain army and the crusaders. due to the reckless policy of The Minister louis who ostracized them after contributing to assist him in conquering the entire sud region. as a result, the Crusaders rebelled. and Balt Rhain's army was forced to fight against his own allies. This division was further severed after the defeat of Balt Rhain's crusaders at Maritsa. The crusaders began to form their own groups and they began to attack the city controlled by balt rhain forces in sud. they took control of the city of Chielo, expelled the balt rhain garrison that stood guard there and made it their community. Crusaders also attacked Furullio and Phoenicia which ended in failure.

on the other hand, Turkiye managed to renew his armed forces, leading them to victory in Maritsa. Their navy led by Hamzah Pasha managed to dislodge genoa warships in the Sea of Marmara and Venedik. while the land expedition for the liberation of South Rumeliana led by Mahmud Pasha achieved success in capturing pozo, rozo, restos, cinza, letra, cantar, veletra, toro, marmuu, brezza, and collina from the hands of balt Rhain crusader forces. Turkiye's successive victories accompanied by the retreat of the crusader expedition prompted both Balt Rhain and crusaders to re-establish relations in order to fight the turkiye forces.

Siege of Furrulio

at the beginning of the biber month of 77 Turkiye Calendar, Mahmud Pasha commanded the largest army he commanded at Toro. He inspected his troops in the lowlands, before starting to cross the river Furullio on the 15th. The Turkiye troops numbered 80.000 soldiers. Mahmud Pasha also received unexpected assistance from the Toro cavalry who provided service to him numbering 20,000 soldiers. Mahmud's army was organized as a center and consisted of two wings. cavalry troops led by Hasan Ulubat. the left wing led by Syihabuddin syahin Pasha. Ishaq Pasha led the right flank troops. Mahmud himself led the central army accompanied by binbashi ahmad bey. while the artillery troops were led by Radu del Crumos.

The Crusaders gather at the Espada, their number is between 100 and 120 thousand troops. although this was a smaller number than the initial troop deployed since the start of the invasion of Sud Rumeliana, due to divisions among the crusader alliance forces. most of the troops mainly from Austria and Hungary withdrew from the conflict. most of the soldiers were from the Balt Rhine and its few generals, several thousand Italian troops, and Sicilian and Translvania troops who did not return because they were forced to fight with the empire. Major troop leader Richard Del Rein (commander of the Balt Rhein Troops). decided to wait for the Turkish troops. but several commanders from italy and sicily rejected the idea. They urged Richard to meet the Turks and launch a surprise attack while they were least aware.

On the other hand, Mahmud Pasha didn't want to waste his time just waiting for the imperial troops to come out of their nest. he mobilized his troops marched towards Furullio and laid siege to it on the 20th. news of Furullio's siege reached the imperial troops. both voices of opinion split. Richard still wouldn't move troops, as he was sure it was just a trap to trick him. but the majority of the generals actually urged him to move immediately, bearing in mind that Furullio's position was very close to Phoenicia which if this city fell, it would make it easier for the Turkish troops to conquer it. they didn't even hesitate to insult richard as a coward. After a heated debate, Richard was forced to give in. the crusaders left the Espada on the 23rd. when Mahmud learned that the movement of the crusaders was indeed towards Furullio, he immediately withdrew his troops and tried to lure them to the battlefield he wanted. The Crusaders arrived there two days later in empty Furullio. after the Turkiye troops left the siege of the city.

Battle

25th, month of Tuz. the crusaders arrived at Furullio but found the surroundings of the town empty of the ruins of the fort because of the manjaniq and cannon shelling of the Turkiye Troops. they continued to be forced to move towards Mahmud's troops. here the conditions of the crusaders began to become tired and hopeless, due to the authoritarian actions of some generals and commanders of the crusader coalition, stubbornly trying to pursue the enemy troops.

On the 28th, the crusaders attempted to seize water and grass for their horses in the Ashkavya valley. but suddenly the Turkiye troops shouted and surrounded them from all sides. fighting broke out that night. The crusaders continued to demoralize the crusaders with shouts of takbir and prayers. they burned straw and hay and showered the Balt Rhine troops with cannon and arrows. destroy their ballistae before they are even used.

in a state of panic the crusaders tried to form formations and tried to retreat in an orderly manner. but Mahmud Pasha did not let that happen, he chased the enemy troops and finished off those who were left behind. the two armies once again met in the Almanac.

Richard's main force struggled in a desperate state to survive the attacks of the Turkiye troops, as well as the attacks of the heavy cavalry troops. Richard ordered the Turtle Formation, but soon Turkish artillery troops arrived and destroyed the formation with artillery fire. after that the charge of the Turkiye cavalry came crashing down. many of Richard's men died without much resistance and the wounded and alive fell as prisoners. while Richard himself was killed at the hands of Mahmud. the Balt Rhein troops scattered, most of those who survived fled in an uncertain direction, some of them made it to the espada in tatters and even unarmed.

The Balts of the Rhein and the crusaders were defeated. The explanation for this eye sanction is that Ilyas Bey (Ilyas bin Abdullah), a Janissary soldier, witnessed the moments of the victory of the Turkiye troops in the Almanac. Quoted by Sukrullah Celebi:

"The general commander of the Balt Rhein troops stopped at the Almanac to finish their last resistance. The two armies attacked each other without mercy. While our commander (Mahmud Pasha) shouted, shoot the arrows at the demons!!!. Our cavalry archers!" advanced and fired their arrows while the enemy troops formed a phalanx. they could withstand our composite arrows, but not our gallant cannon fire. Their formation was broken and we continued to suppress and repel the enemy until Allah gave us victory."

Aftermath and Losses

casualties between the two sides could not be ascertained. however the Balt Rhine and the crusaders lost nearly half of their forces in this battle. the commander of the captured Balt Rhein forces, namely Vermandois, and barron Michell (currently the one identified). Hugh Geoffrey of bohemia, hugh Austrian. commander of the german troops, plivilain batron, and Hugh Gibrael. as well as several commanders from Italy, and Hungary. Among the captured Balt Rhine troops, about 600 or 700 people decided to convert to Islam, after an invitation from Mahmud Pasha. who was later released. as for the rest, it was decided to be sold as slaves. Mahmud Pasha asked his soldiers to treat the prisoners of the commander of the Balt Rhein properly. as for the commander of the crusaders outside the Rumelia peninsula. Mahmud asked his troops to beheaded all of them. assuming their presence in rumelia is far more dangerous than the Balt Rhein.

7 days after the victory at ashkavya, (4, month of Ak koyunlu year 77 of the Turkiye Calendar). Mahmud Pasha began to lay siege to Furullio and quickly took the city. as the Balt Rheins poured out of the city in droves. then, with an army of 40,000, Mahmud launched a siege on the city of Chielo. in the city there were only 1000 Hungarian soldiers defending the city. The Hungarian troops asked for security guarantees in exchange for the city's surrender, and they were able to leave the city safely. Mahmud agreed to this agreement. the defeat at Asykvya resulted in a weakening of the city's defenses which were controlled by the Balt Rhein. most of the soldiers, who had lost the battle, decided to flee further into the Rhein region. the big impact that was caused was that in just a few months, Mahmud Pasha succeeded in controlling the big cities in the Sud. such as Phoenicia, Espada, Humo, Seallant, Basque, Sirena, Almeja, Duna, Nina, Sal, Campana, and Scoglio.

News of the defeat at Ashkavya (the fall of Phoenicia was followed by the loss of the Sud region), was carried by Philip towards St. Michael, caused a huge stir in the Empire. Prime Minister Virigillio Louis attempted to mobilize a new expeditionary force to attack Turkiye head-on in hopes of avenging the painful defeat at the Sud. but ended with the defeat of their troops at Muchever. forced the Balt Rhein to sign a peace treaty with the Turkiye in Florence.

"In light of these figures, it’s easy to understand the gap between the government’s populist declarations against the Palestinians and the steps it quietly but consistently takes to increase international humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. During an emergency meeting of contributing countries in January, Regional Cooperation Minister Tzahi Hanegbi presented a billion-dollar plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip — foreign funded, of course. Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz’s plan to build an artificial island off the Gaza coast also suggested that foreign funders bear some of the cost of the occupation, bringing foreign cash into Israeli coffers, and, at the same time, preventing the situation in Gaza from deteriorating to the point of no-return.

The picture I’ve presented here is not new. It is clear to the contributing countries, the international aid organizations, the Israeli army, and the Israeli government. It is, of course, clear to the Palestinians, who need the aid but who also understand that it makes the work of occupation easier for the Israeli authorities.

However, there is also a serious problem with this picture. It presupposes the existence of a state called “the brink” of humanitarian crisis and generates endless discussion of whether the current state of affairs constitutes a crisis or not. But when exactly do the economic conditions in Gaza constitute a humanitarian crisis? How many people need to die before the siege is lifted to avoid reaching the point, beyond which mass starvation, disease and the disintegration of the social fabric cannot be stopped?

The most important recent aid initiative to move beyond this situation is the flotilla initiative. The flotillas provide aid to Palestinians in coordination with Gaza residents’ specific demands for goods that are not permitted to cross through Kerem Shalom. Without using Israeli currency and without paying customs duties to the Israeli treasury, the boats attempt to provide the aid directly, without a middle-man. Unsurprisingly, the Israeli response has been violent – the army killed nine activists on the Mavi Marmara ship in May 2010.

But what would the Israeli government do if the major international aid organizations adopted a similar mode of action to supply the Palestinians with aid directly, without using Israeli companies and without paying taxes to the Israeli authorities? This strategy would expose the economic interest Israel has in keeping Gaza on “the brink” and would force the Israeli government to choose: take direct control over the lives of the Palestinians and pay the costs involved, or allow the international humanitarian organizations to supply aid under the conditions of their choosing, therefore helping the Palestinians out of the crisis.

This would not abrogate Israel’s responsibility for the Palestinians — which is delineated by international law — but it would eliminate Israel’s financial incentive to maintain the occupation and the siege of Gaza."

Despite numerous protests from the Palestinian side, the Paris Agreements signed in 1994 continue to constitute the framework for the main economic agreements between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, including the Gaza Strip. Israel controls the customs regime, thus there is no import duty on goods imported from Israel to the occupied territories, while there is on goods imported from abroad. International aid organizations are required to provide humanitarian aid in the most efficient way possible. They must purchase the cheapest food available to aid the greatest number of people within their budget. Though food is cheaper in Jordan and Egypt, food imports from Jordan and Egypt to the occupied Palestinian territory are taxed. The taxes, in principle, go to the PA coffers, but this cannot be a consideration for the aid organizations. Instead, they are required to purchase most of the goods they distribute from Israeli companies, unless importation from another country, including import taxes, will still be cheaper than the price in Israel. Additionally, Israeli security regulations require aid organizations to use Israeli transportation companies and vehicles, since Palestinian companies are not allowed to enter Israel to pick up goods from airports or sea-ports. Even more significant is the fact that the Palestinians do not have their own currency or central bank: financial assistance must be given in New Israeli Shekels. The foreign currency remains in the Bank of Israel, and Israeli commercial banks collect numerous service charges along the way. What this means, in fact, is that Israel exports the occupation: as long as the international community is willing to contribute financially to prevent a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Israeli companies continue to supply them with goods and services and receive payment in foreign currency.

Camlica Tower: A Modern Marvel in Istanbul

Istanbul, a city where history and modernity blend seamlessly, is home to many architectural wonders. One such modern marvel is Camlica Tower, an iconic structure that dominates the skyline and offers breathtaking views of the metropolis. Rising above the bustling city, Camlica Tower is not only a telecommunications hub but also a major tourist attraction. In this article, we will explore the history, architecture, functionality, and significance of Camlica Tower.

History of Camlica Tower

Before Camlica Tower was built, Istanbul had several outdated telecommunications towers scattered across the city. These towers not only created visual pollution but also failed to meet modern broadcasting standards. To address this issue, the Turkish government decided to construct a single, state-of-the-art tower that would replace the old structures and enhance the city's skyline.

Construction of Camlica Tower began in 2016, and after years of meticulous planning and development, the tower was officially inaugurated in 2021. The project was part of Istanbul's broader urban development initiatives aimed at modernizing the city's infrastructure while preserving its historical essence.

Architectural Design and Structure

Camlica Tower is a masterpiece of modern architecture. Designed with a sleek and futuristic aesthetic, the tower stands at an impressive height of 369 meters (1,211 feet) above ground level, making it the tallest structure in Turkey. When combined with the elevation of the hill on which it stands, the tower reaches an astounding 587 meters (1,926 feet) above sea level.

The design of Camlica Tower is inspired by the elegant tulip flower, which has cultural significance in Turkey. The curved, flowing structure mimics the petals of a tulip, creating a visually striking silhouette against the skyline. The exterior is covered in a combination of glass and steel, giving the tower a contemporary and sophisticated look.

Telecommunication and Technological Advancements

While Camlica Tower is a remarkable visual landmark, its primary purpose is to serve as a telecommunications and broadcasting hub. The tower consolidates multiple broadcasting antennas that were previously scattered across Istanbul. This centralization enhances signal strength, reduces interference, and significantly improves telecommunications efficiency.

Equipped with the latest technology, Camlica Tower supports radio and television broadcasting, mobile communication networks, and internet services. By housing all these functions in one tower, the project has eliminated the need for multiple outdated structures, contributing to a cleaner and more organized urban landscape.

Observation Decks and Panoramic Views

One of the major attractions of Camlica Tower is its observation decks, which offer unparalleled panoramic views of Istanbul. Visitors can take high-speed elevators to reach the observation floors, located at a height of 220 meters (722 feet). From these decks, guests can enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city, including iconic landmarks such as the Bosphorus Strait, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the sprawling urban landscape.

On clear days, the visibility from the observation deck extends far beyond the city, providing stunning views of the Marmara Sea and even the distant shores of neighboring regions. This makes Camlica Tower one of the best vantage points in Istanbul, attracting thousands of tourists and photography enthusiasts every year.

Dining and Hospitality Experience

Camlica Tower offers more than just spectacular views. The tower features an elegant restaurant and café, allowing visitors to enjoy fine dining while overlooking the magnificent cityscape. The restaurant, located at an altitude of approximately 400 meters (1,312 feet) above sea level, provides an exquisite culinary experience with a menu featuring both Turkish and international cuisine.

Dining at Camlica Tower is a unique experience, as the restaurant slowly rotates, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy different perspectives of the city while they eat. Whether it is a romantic dinner, a family outing, or a business meeting, the tower's dining facilities provide an unforgettable atmosphere.

Cultural and Touristic Significance

Camlica Tower is not just a telecommunications structure; it is also a symbol of Istanbul’s progress and modernization. The tower attracts both local and international visitors, offering a unique blend of technology, culture, and tourism. Since its opening, it has become one of the top attractions in the city, drawing visitors who are eager to witness Istanbul from an entirely new perspective.

Moreover, Camlica Tower plays a role in promoting sustainable urban development. By replacing old broadcasting towers, the project has contributed to reducing electromagnetic pollution and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the city. The tower stands as a testament to Istanbul's commitment to blending innovation with tradition.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Features

In addition to its architectural beauty and technological advancements, Camlica Tower is designed with sustainability in mind. The building incorporates energy-efficient systems, such as advanced cooling and heating technologies that minimize energy consumption. The tower also features smart lighting solutions that adjust based on natural light conditions, reducing electricity usage.

Furthermore, the removal of multiple broadcasting antennas and their replacement with a single tower has significantly decreased environmental and electromagnetic pollution. This eco-friendly approach aligns with Istanbul’s broader efforts to promote sustainable urban development while maintaining its cultural and historical heritage.

How to Visit Camlica Tower

Visiting Camlica Tower is a seamless experience. The tower is located on Camlica Hill, one of the highest points in Istanbul’s Asian side. Visitors can reach the tower via public transportation, taxis, or private vehicles.

Upon arrival, guests can purchase tickets to access the observation decks and dining areas. The tower operates throughout the year, making it a fantastic destination regardless of the season. Whether you visit during the day to enjoy clear views or at night to witness Istanbul’s dazzling city lights, Camlica Tower offers a mesmerizing experience.

Conclusion

Camlica Tower is more than just a telecommunications hub—it is a symbol of Istanbul’s modern transformation. With its impressive height, stunning architecture, and state-of-the-art technology, the tower has quickly become a must-visit destination for tourists and locals alike. Whether you are looking for breathtaking views, a fine dining experience, or a glimpse into the future of urban infrastructure, Camlica Tower offers it all. As Istanbul continues to evolve, this iconic landmark stands as a testament to the city's ability to merge tradition with innovation, making it a true jewel of the skyline.

Shipyard Brokerage In Türkiye

Turkey’s shipbuilding and ship repair industry has evolved into a major global player, with Yalova and Tuzla standing out as prime maritime regions. From cutting-edge vessels to complex repairs, these shipyard regions accommodate projects of all sizes and complexities.

In this article, we’ll explore the importance of shipyard brokerage in Yalova and Tuzla, Türkiye. Ship repair companies such as Weser Maritim are also acting as shipyard brokers.

Why Yalova and Tuzla Are Key Shipyard Hubs

Both Yalova and Tuzla are in the Marmara Sea. This means that these shipyards are in a very easy-to-reach region. This facilitates easy access for vessels traveling through the Mediterranean, Black Sea, and beyond. This location advantage enables shorter delivery times and reduced voyage costs for repairs.

Turkish shipyards in Yalova and Tuzla have heavily invested in modern equipment and highly skilled labor. Their advanced infrastructure allows them to undertake:

New construction of commercial vessels, yachts, and specialized ships

Repairs, maintenance, and conversions at competitive prices

Complex engineering projects that require cutting-edge technology and expertise

Turkey’s maritime education system, combined with decades of practical industry experience, has produced a robust pool of engineers and technicians for the shipyards. Their expertise ensures timely project completion at the highest quality possible.

Shipyard Brokerage Function

With multiple shipyards offering varied services, selecting the right facility can be challenging. A shipyard broker evaluates each shipyard’s capabilities, track record, and financial stability, helping you make data-driven decisions.

By leveraging their professional network and negotiation skills, shipyard brokers often secure better contract terms for the ship owners. This leads to savings in both time and money—critical factors in shipyard projects where delays or cost overruns can be catastrophic.

Brokers ensure strict compliance with international regulations and standards such as SOLAS and MARPOL. Their due diligence process also covers yard capabilities, equipment certifications, and workforce qualifications, minimizing the risk of project disruptions.

Although most of the shipyards in Türkiye have adopted the highest safety standards, presenting to the shipyard via a shipyard broker facilitates all the processes and safety.

Core Services Offered by a Shipyard Broker

Facilitating after-sales services, maintenance programs, and warranty claims.

Shipyard brokerage service providers, such as Weser Maritim, in Turkey’s Yalova and Tuzla regions, offer cost-competitive services, technical expertise, and time-saving to the shipowners and ship managers. Whether you’re building a new vessel or seeking repairs and retrofits, partnering with a reputable shipyard broker ensures that you tap into the best resources these premier maritime hubs offer.
