[Hosank]

well what a noble turk you are..

though you take pride in your victories, you also accept your defeats, and flaws...
since most of these new pictures depict ottoman defeats..
as well as janissaries who were christian slaves forced into the military

[Mordoth]

IT is history , Hosank .
We 'd be realist rather than a propagandist .

IF Ottoman has faced a defeat or surrender after the war ; i 'd exhibit those too .

By the way ; Jannisaries were dominantly " Davshirmas " means " Collected "( people ). They were adopted by army and educated in Ottoman Governal Houses or Trained in Army to promote to an officer rank .
That is not a reason to defamate Ottoman for that , because it is sth. normal for that era.

[Hosank]

it is not...'normal for the era' it is normal for a turk...

and then if you can display pics of your defeat, then you can also put pics of the armenian genocide and wirte; turks, a holy destiny, we did this, we genocided 1.5 million armenians in 1915-17, for absolutely no reason, and we are sorry.

[Mordoth]

Your thoughts is straightforward , i am not about to change them .

- Comperative History is the course that deals with the comparison of the states/nations simultaneously .
( This description is not that scientific , but i know you'd understand what i mean )

There are still rapes , raids , kidnappings ...etc during the war . Some conflicts do not forgive the " ACCUSED " .
That's why Armenians are relocated , not deported , some of them came back where they were taken from .

[Hosank]

hmmm....

relocated? you mean relocated to heaven, since those people who you relocated are no longer of this world

Traders and goods

Enormous quantities of cloth of all qualities and provenance are brought here; but come more specifically from southern France, from the United Provinces of Holland and from England.
Desolneux

... we do not ordinarily conduct trade with Turks, who are neither buyers or sellers, but rather the Jews, the Armenians and the Greeks ...
Report on French trade in the Levant

Everyday a market is held in some part of the city and on Friday in three places, the most important being the market held everyday, and particularly on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays called Schibazar (Eski Pazar), or market for old goods, and one can find a great many goods being sold every day for great sums of money; and there are more than two thousand such shops in the vicinity.

CONQUEST of HUNGARY



SULTAN ALPARSLAN ; defeated the cross-riders



OGHUZ KHAN ; The DRAGON SLAYER

Oguz Khan myth is shaped around the life of Hun ruler Mete, who was the ruler of between the years 209-174 BC. As in all the Turkish myths, the original form of this myth did not survive our day.Today, we have three variants of Oguz myth. The variant, inscribed in Uighur (Uygur) alphabet between 13th-16th centuries, which reflects the beliefs before Islam, is accepted to be the original form. The Persian Oguz Khan Myth, included in Cami üt-Tevarih by Reshideddin, known to be written at the beginning of 16th century, represents the first Islamic variant.The third variant of the Oguz Khan myth was formed by Ebu'l-Gazi Bahadýr Khan in 17th century as based on the passing on and the previous writings among Turkmen.

The Passing on of the Oguz Khan Myth Before Islam: Ay Khan had a son with a face like the sky, a mouth like the fire, with hazel-colored eyes and with hair and eyebrows more beautiful than those of the fairies. He talked after he got his first milk from his mother and he wanted raw meat, soup and wine. He grew and walked in 40 days.His feet were like the hoofs of an ox, waist like the waist of a wolf, his shoulders were that of a sable and chest that of a bear. He used to herd horse herds and he used to hunt. There was a very large forest where Oguz lived. In this forest, a very strong and large rhinoceros lived. This rhinoceros, like a monster, ate horse herds and people. Oguz was a very brave man.
One day Oguz decided to hunt the rhinoceros. He took his pike, arrow, sword, and shield and went into the forest. He hunted a deer, tied it to a tree, and went away.When he came back as it was dawning, he saw that the rhinoceros had taken the deer. Then Oguz tied a bear, which he had hunt, by his golden belt and went. When he came back as it was dawning, he saw that the rhinoceros had also taken the bear. This time he waited under the tree. The rhinoceros came and hit Oguz's shield with his head.Oguz killed the rhinoceros by his pike. He cut its head off by his sword. He killed the light brown falcon, which was eating the intestines of the rhinoceros, by his arrow and cut its head off by his sword.
One day it suddenly became dark as Oguz Khan was praying to God. A light came down the sky. It was brighter than the sun and the moon. In this light stood a very beautiful girl, with a beauty spot as bright as the North Star on her forehead. When the girl laughed, the god of the skies laughed, and when she cried, the god of skied also cried. Oguz loved this girl and got married to her.After days and nights, the girl gave birth to three male children. They called them Day, Moon and Star.
One of the days when Oguz was hunting in the forest, he saw a tree in the middle of the lake. In the hollow of the tree sat a girl with eyes skier than the sky, with hair wavy as the river and with teeth like pearls. The people of earth could not stand her beauty when they saw her and said they were dying. Oguz loved this girl and married to her. After days and nights, Oguz had three sons from this girl. They named these children as Sky, Mountain and Sea.Oguz Khan gave a great feast. He had forty tables and forty seats built. They ate and drank various types of food, wines, desserts, and kumiss. After the feast, Oguz Khan told the chieftains and the people:
After this feast, Oguz Khan sent this letter throughout the world by his envoys: "I am the khan of the Uighurs (Uygurlar) and I must be the khan of all the world. I request obedience from you. Whoever submits to my orders, I accept his presents and make him my friend. Whoever does not obey, I am enraged. I accept him my enemy. I fight against him and have him terminated."
Altun Khan, who was on the right side then, sent many pieces of gold, silver, and precious stones to Oguz Khan and became his friend by subordinating to him. To the left of Oguz Khan was the Urum Khan with many soldiers and cities. Urum Khan did not obey to Oguz Khan. He did not accept Oguz Khan's demands again. Oguz Khan was enraged, he took his banner and mobilized against Urum Khan together with his soldiers. In 40 days, he arrived at the skirts of Ice Mountain. He had his tent built and slept silently.When it dawned, a light like the sunray entered Oguz Khan's tent. A great male wolf, with the hair and mane like the sky, came out of the light. The wold said: "O Oguz, you want to mobilize against Urum; o Oguz, I want to lead you". Then Oguz had his tent dismounted and he followed the wolf together with his army. The sky-hair and sky-mane wolf stopped at the skirts of the Black Mountain near Muren sea.
There was a great war between the army of Urum Khan and Oguz Khan. Oguz Khan won the battle, he took the land and people of Urum Khan. Oguz Khan and his soldiers came to river Idil following the sky-hair and sky-mane wolf. Ulug Ordu Bey, one of the chieftains of Oguz Khan, made a raft from the trees in order to cross the river Itil and thus they crossed the river. As Oguz liked this discovery, he called Ulug Ordu Bey as "kipchak."
They went on their road again following the sky-hair sky-mane wolf. The motley horse of Oguz Khan, that he had loved very much, escaped to the Ice Mountain. One of the hero chieftains of Oguz Khan climbed Ice Mountain, as he saw that Oguz Khan was in deep sorrow and he returned, having found the horse. Oguz Khan was very happy when he saw his horse and the hero chieftain covered with ice. He said: "You become the leader of the chieftains here. Let your name shall be Karluk ("Iced") forever." After some time, the sky-hair and sky-mane male wolf stopped. In this place, called the land of the Churchet, the khan of the Churchet and the people did not submit to Oguz Khan and there was a great battle. Oguz Khan beat the Khan of the Churchets and made the people submit to him.
Oguz Khan won many places such as India, Tangut, Syria and Barkan in the south with this sky-hair and sky-mane wolf, which walked in front of his army. His enemies had sorrow and his friends were happy. He returned home with many spoils and horses.
One day, Ulug Bey, the wise vizier of Oguz Khan, dreamt of one golden bow and three silver arrows. The golden bow extended from the east to west. Three silver arrows went to the north. When Oguz Khan heard of this dream, he divided the country between his sons.

[Hosank]

amazing how you managed to totally corrupt those countries skylines, bloodline and many more in just 300 years of occupation...

[Mordoth]

If we were occupants like Ameriga in Iraq , we would not have built variety of monuments there . There is no historical sites of Ottoman in Anatolia unlike in Balcans.
We 'd opress their beliefs , corrupt their ideologies ..etc

We are no occupants , Balcan is a Turkish word and all martialed people thought there as if there was their motherland . They had not think it is Balcans , Arabian peninsula , Hungary , Aflagh-Bogdan ( Moldova-Romania ) ..etc
They were motherland of Turks .
It is Christians that surpressed and converted - slaugtered Muslim Turks in the region .

Entrance to the mosque , shown above ;

The Çelebi Sultan Mehmed Mosque is located in the central square
of Didymoteichon ( Didimoticho - meaning the city of the twin walls - today a small town of approximately 12000 people, bears a long and extremely noteworthly history. The city is lying next to the Erythropotamos river, on the western bank of the famous Evros river,just few kms from the greek-turkish borders.)

Its construction began in 1420 with the order of Ottoman Sultan
Mehmed II (1413-1421) to Architect Ivaz Pasa.

The mosque is named Bayezid Camii in the Greek archives, a name also found in the travel descriptions of Evliya Çelebi in the seventeenth century.
The mosque is oriented twenty-seven degrees to the east of south. It
consists of a square prayer hall and a single minaret. A hipped roof,
supported by the walls and four square-piers, covers the prayer hall.
The dimensions of the prayer hall are about thirty by thirty-two
meters, including the walls. The thickness of the walls varies
between 2.2 and 2.7m.

Accessed by a set of stairs, the main entrance is placed at the center
of the northern façade. Its niche is roofed by a semi-dome with
fourteen ribs. Red and white stones form the arch that crowns the
original wooden door. There is an inscriptive plaque composed in
thuluth and kufi style Arabic, announcing the year of construction. A
second plaque is placed above the southern entrance and gives the
date of completion, 1421.

The main body of the mosque is constructed of cut stone. The
wooden roof was initially covered with lead. Inside, painted Quranic
inscriptions decorate the walls and the piers of the prayer hall.
Çelebi Sultan Mehmed Mosque is considered to be incomplete by
some scholars, who, based on the substructure and plan typology,have proposed that the original plan must have had a central dome
and a portico. This might be correct, considering that the Green
Mosque in Bursa -another mosque built by Ivaz Pasa under Mehmet
II- was also left incomplete with the Bultan's death in 1421.
Under the second Turkish possession of Didymoteichon in early
twentieth century, a second smaller balcony was added to the main
body of the minaret. In 1981, the periphery of the mosque was
cleared from adjacent buildings and structures and a precinct wall
was built. An open-air coffeehouse operates in the place of the
absent portico.

that does not make sense...

and to start off, there are thousands of turkish soldiers stationned in irak, in kurdish irak...do you think the kurds see this as a liberation? or as an oppression?

no, the christians were already there, you came, opressed them, converted some, and build religious sites on their land in order to clame territorial and cultural rights...

the exact opposite to what you did to armenians, when you destroyed their thousand year old churches in order to deny them the right to their cultural heritage...

you are a nation of murderers, and when people stand up to your injustice, you label them terrorists...
so let me ask you a question...

is it possible that serbians, greeks, cypriots, armenians, georgians, Assyrians, kurds, croatians, slovenians, bulgarians, romanians, moldavians, ukrainians and so on are all terrorists?
or maybe turks are the only terrorists...

Fatih Mosque , Pristina


The Fatih or Imperial Mosque was built in 1461 under Turkish Sultan Mehmed II Fatih ('the conqueror'), as witnessed by the engraving above the main door, and is Pristina's grandest building. Inside, painted floral decorations and arabesques grace the walls and ceiling. The spectacular 15-metre dome, resting on support pillars, was an architectural feat at the time of construction. The minaret is a reconstruction after the original was damaged during an earthquake in 1955. The mosque was briefly turned into a church during the Austro-Turkish wars from 1690-1698.




Tetovo ,MAcedonia

Arabati Baba Take, Muslim monastery complex

The tekke is comprised of several buildings used for religious ceremonies as well as for the daily activities of the dervishes - tower of prayer, dervish inn, covered fountain.
The Decorated mosque
The mosque is situated in the center of Tetovo. It was built in 1833/34 on the foundations of the older edifice, with the reminiscence of the early Constantinopolitan style. All the facades as well as the interior were decorated with geometric and floral ornaments, making this building unique preserved monument of islamic architecture





Bitola - Macedonia

Bedesten
The Bedesten (covered market) is situated in the center of Bitola. According to the historical sources this complex was built in 1506. One could enter the bedesten four arched entrances, closed by night with iron double-doors. It comprises several alleys with 86 shops, and is vaulted with barrel-vaults pierced with windows for lighting the interior. The Bedesten has maintained its original function as a market.

Isak Mosque
The mosque is situated in the central area of Bitola downtown. It is also known as the Azreti Isak mosque, and it is constructed for its size and exterior, as well as for luxurious interior, one of the most beautiful mosques in Bitola.

Yeni Mosque
The Yeni mosque is located in the neighborhood of the Isak mosque. It was built in 1558/9 by Kadi Mahmud-Efendi. It is square in base, with three domed porch and 40 m high minaret. The glazed decorative features of its interior are the unique examples. Today its interior is adapted in an Art Gallery where the international Graphic Art takes place (every three years).




Buna River Tekke - Bosnia

The Tekke is located on the source of the river Buna in Blagaj, near Mostar. The ensemble of Blagaj Tekke was built around 1520. The Tekke was erected on the spot where the “good” Evlija disappeared, for whom a special tomb was raised in the turbe. Like in most Tekkes, here as well, there is a musafirhana - a place where sheikhs (head of a Sufi order), the dervishes and other travellers could obtain free overnight lodging. At present are preserved the residential building, the turbe (mausoleum) with two tombs marked by wooden coffins, the remains of the Tekke and the mills on the river. The ensemble is enriched by the natural setting, an important part of the ritual. The rocks and the water near Blagaj Tekke are an inseparable part of this sacred place. The source of the Buna is the most beautiful underground watercourse in this karst region
