“Purple Horizons” (Mor Ufuklar), a Turkish-made film telling the
struggle of a Syrian girl fleeing civil war in her country, has returned
home with awards from Pakistan and Italy.
The film won “Best Movie,” “Best Foreign Movie” and “Best Scenario”
awards at Pakistan’s 8th International Lums Film Festival and will be
released in theaters in Europe and Turkey simultaneously in April 2018.
The movie has won 15 international awards so far.
Osman Subaşı, the producer of the movie, told the film’s story to the
state-run Anadolu Agency. “We want to inform the world through cinema,
which is an important tool to convey refugees’ problems,” he said.
“Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis, especially in the last
five years, so many boats have been sunk in the Mediterranean Sea; so
many people have lost their lives,” he added.

Rumi an ‘architect’ of peace in Anatolia
Mevlana Jalaluddin al-Rumi, a Sufi mystic and Islamic scholar who is
today revered in Turkey as a spiritual pioneer, was one of the
“architects” of centuries of peace and tranquility in Anatolia.
“Throughout our history, peace and tranquility has prevailed in Anatolia, the cradle of civilizations. Spiritual architects like Mevlana have a big share in this,” Konya Mayor Yakup Canbolat said on the first day of events commemorating the 13th century philosopher in the Central Anatolian province.
On the 744th anniversary of his death, Mevlana is being commemorated at his burial place in Konya in a ceremony known as Seb-i Aruz or “reunion with the Beloved.”

The Turkish spring festival Hıdırellez has been added to the UNESCO list of “intangible cultural heritage,” the Culture Ministry has said.
In a statement, the ministry said the celebration had been added at a UNESCO meeting in South Korea.
Turkish communities around the world celebrate Hıdırellez on May 6 while Christians in the Balkans mark it as St. George’s day on April 23.
The roots of the celebration pre-date Islam or Christianity.
According to the Culture Ministry website, some theories say Hıdırellez has stemmed from Mesopotamian and Anatolian cultures while others claim its roots derive from the Turkic peoples of central Asia.
Across the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, different traditions and rituals have developed, many which are focused on bringing good luck with the arrival of spring.
While differing greatly from country to country, the event is often marked with the cleaning of homes and clothes, feasting or ceremonies held near open water or shrines.
Among the Roma community in Turkey’s northwestern province of Çanakkale, dancers in colorful clothing jump over bonfires for good health.
UNESCO has listed at least 14 cultural practices found in Turkey, according to the ministry. These include the Mevlana whirling dervishes, the Karagöz and Hacivat shadow plays, oil-wrestling in Kırkpınar and Turkish coffee.
On Dec. 6, UNESCO listed whistled language, also known as “bird language,” from Turkey’s northern Black Sea region as in urgent need of safeguarding.

ILS ONT TROUVE LA TOMBE DU PERE NOEL (on vous laisse apprécier, nous on n'y croit pas !!!)
La tombe intacte du père Noël peut être sous une église à Antalya en Turquie selon les archéologues
Les archéologues ont découvert ce qui pourrait être la tombe de Saint-Nicolas, plus généralement connu sous le nom du Père Noël, sous une église dans la province d'Antalya au sud de la Turquie.
Une section spéciale contenant une tombe a récemment été découverte dans l'église Saint-Nicolas, située dans le district de Demre à Antalya, connu comme le lieu de naissance du Père Noël, a rapporté le quotidien turc Hürriyet.
Le chef de l'autorité des monuments d'Antalya, Cemil Karabayram, a déclaré au quotidien qu'ils avaient rencontré un sanctuaire vierge en effectuant des enquêtes numériques sous la surface de l'église.
"Nous croyons que ce sanctuaire n'a pas été endommagé du tout, mais il est assez difficile d'y parvenir car il y a des mosaïques sur le sol", a déclaré Karabayram, ajoutant qu'ils doivent balayer chaque carreau un par un et les retirer dans leur ensemble dans un moule.
Le fonctionnaire a souligné qu'ils ont examiné tous les dossiers de 1942 à 1966 concernant les restes de Saint-Nicolas et ont découvert que l'église a été incendiée mais a été reconstruite.
Certains commerçants auraient volé des os de l'église, qu'ils pensaient appartenir à Saint-Nicolas mais ils appartenaient à un prêtre en réalité.
Karabayram est très optimiste quant à l'atteinte aux restes de Saint-Nicolas, en précisant qu'ils pourraient atteindre la tombe intacte du Père Noël, l'une des figures les plus populaires pour les enfants qui célèbrent Noël à travers le monde.
Il a noté qu'ils recherchent actuellement des chercheurs dans huit différents domaines d'études pour mener à bien le reste du travail sur le site.
Les archéologues du site ont déjà mené des travaux de base et vont maintenant entamer les travaux de détail pour atteindre le terrain.
Le chef des fouilles, le professeur Sema Doğan, a été choquée d'entendre parler de la découverte, a déclaré Karabayram, et a ajouté que le tourisme autour de la région sera positivement affecté si elle réussit à atteindre les vestiges intacts du père Noël.
Auparavant, les restes de Saint-Nicolas auraient été introduits en contrebande dans la ville italienne de Bari par les marchands italiens en l'an 1087.
Le Musée du Père Noël, anciennement une église avec un sarcophage attribué au Père Noël, est situé dans la ville de Demre.
Saint-Nicolas, loué pour sa générosité, surtout envers les enfants, est vénéré par toutes les confessions dans le christianisme et c'est cette générosité qui a conduit à une évolution de son image en Père Noël.

11th century church ruins found in Balıkesir
Ruins of a church dating back 800 years have been unearthed at the ancient city of Adramytteion in the northwestern Turkish province of Balıkesir’s Burhaniye district.
The find comes just two weeks before the end of this year’s seasonal works.
Murat Özgen, the director of the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University Northern Aegean Research and Application Center, said excavations at Adramytteion have been continuing since 2012.
“This year excavations have continued in a field on the Ören Hill, which we call ‘Region C.’ A big church was found during excavations between 2000 and 2006, dating back to the 11th century. During the works two years ago we found the apse of the church. We already knew there was destruction in the 11th century. The latest church we have found confirms this knowledge as it was destroyed. Now we have two weeks to finish the works here. Our reconstruction plan for protection has also been approved,” Özgen said.

Urartian necropolis reveals burial customs
Excavations in a Urartian necropolis in the eastern province of Van’s Çavuştepe Castle, which has been plundered by treasure hunters in recent years, provide important details about Urartian burial customs.
The Culture and Tourism Ministry has initiated excavations to rescue the necropolis in the castle. During the excavations, a tomb was unearthed with the skeletons of a man and a woman. Officials believe they were husband and wife because they were buried together.
A bronze belt, tray, seal and several bronze jewelries were also found in the tomb.

In the Yuntdağı region of the western province of Manisa’s Yunusemre district, excavation works have commenced in order to unearth the Temple of Athena in the ancient city of Aigai.
Archeologists have rolled up their sleeves to find the Temple of Athena, in the 2,800-year-old ancient city of Aigai, which appeared in 19th-century excavation research by German archeologists.
The excavation works are being conducted under the supervision of Yusuf Sezgin, assistant professor of archeology at Manisa Celal Bayar University. The Temple of Athena is expected to be erected in at least two months after the definite localization of the temple.
