Excavations in Kültepe end with new findings

This year’s excavations in Kütahya’s ancient site of Kültepe show that 4,000-year-old history can be traced back to an earlier time. ‘The first aim of the excavations is to discover ancient Bronze Age history,’ says the head of the Kültepe excavations Professor Fikri Kulakoğlı (below). AA photo

‘World of Tales’ by Oğuz Tansel (Elips Kitap, 2012, 19 TL, 273 pages)


The poet Oğuz Tansel produced work over the course of five decades, amassing an oeuvre routinely described with adjectives such as “universal” and “humanistic.” Like contemporary Nazım Hikmet, his poems are informed by a deeply felt socialism, but – also like Hikmet – he is least successful when that ideology is front and center. His most impressive work leaves rigid ideological conviction in the background, informing his vision but not overwhelming it.

Art négligé avec l'occidentalisation

"L'art du carreau a connu son apogée dans la période de Kanuni Sultan Süleyman et Mimar Sinan au 16ème siècle. Avec l'effet de l'occidentalisation, cet art a été négligée dans le 17ème siècle. Plus tard, malgré de nombreux essais à l'ère République, il ne pouvait pas atteindre son ancienne splendeur. Merci à sa recherche, en particulier dans les archives du palais de Topkapi en 1960, mon professeur Kırımlı réussi à faire la tuile d'Iznik avec la technique originale. Je l'ai trouvé en 1995 et pris des cours de lui. Nous avons atteint un certain niveau dans un court laps de temps depuis que nous avons adapté à notre esprit et notre cœur », a déclaré Güven, ajoutant qu'ils avaient ouvert de nombreuses expositions en Turquie et à l'étranger. «Nous unissons nos connaissances et expériences avec mon mari et continuer à travailler aujourd'hui." Güven a dit que les expositions à l'étranger, ils ont trouvé la chance de représenter la Turquie sur la scène internationale, et a ajouté, «Nous avons participé à des manifestations internationales pour représenter la Turquie pour près de 12-13 ans.Nous avons participé à des manifestations dans des pays comme l'Iran, le Koweït, l'Arabie saoudite, Oman et Bahreïn. Aussi, nous avons les œuvres dans des collections spéciales de musées à Bahreïn, au Koweït et en Arabie saoudite. Nous étions les gagnants d'un événement d'art traditionnel, qui a été organisée en 2006 avec la participation de 30 pays.

Les architectes et les ingénieurs turcs qui ont été les auteurs de nombreux ouvrages symboliques, œuvrent maintenant pour doter l’Azerbaïdjan d’un aéroport.
Au début, il n’était question que de la modernisation de l’aéroport militaire de Sitalçay.
Par la suite, le gouvernement azerbaidjanais a décidé de bâtir un nouvel aéroport militaire à la suite des entretiens.
Les travaux de construction de l’aéroport ont été pris en charge par une compagnie privée de l’industrie de la défense turque.
Tandis que la société également turque HAVELSAN est responsable de l’installation, de l’intégration et de la programmation des systèmes électroniques.
Il n’a pas été donné d’informations sur l’emplacement de l’aéroport qui sera édifié près de Bakou.
