The cultural and political changes that happened in Anatolia after the collapse of the Hittite Empire have only recently been recognised as a significant, but as yet unexplained, phenomenon. Here we present the results of analyses of ceramics from three sites south and southwest of the present-day town of Sorgun - Cadir Hoyuk, Kerkenes Dag and Tilkigedigi Tepe - to identity how regional groups within the Hittite core area regrouped in the aftermath of the collapse. Ceramic analyses provide a means to assess both cultural continuity and the scale and nature of interaction in a region. Results suggest some evidence of cultural continuity at Cadir from the Late Bronze Age into the Middle Iron Age, and highlight the variable local responses in the aftermath of Hittite collapse.

Geopolitical significance of Suakin on Anglo-Turkish rivalry during the 19th century
Haşıl, Hamza; Turan, Ömer; Department of Middle East Studies (2019)
This thesis argues that the geopolitical significance of Suakin in the Red Sea in the 19th century can be explained through the Anglo-Turkish rivalry. The fact that Suakin is being considered as a strategic region stems from its location as an economic, administrative and a military center. Suakin, which needs to be retained to have control of the Red Sea surroundings, witnessed the Ottoman-Portuguese struggle, which ended in favor of the Ottomans. In the 19th century, the fact that Britain pursued an expan...
Influences of political regime shifts on the urban scene of a capital city case study: Tiran
Bleta, Indrit; Turan Özkaya, Belgin; Department of History of Architecture (2010)
On the eve of the twentieth century, the dismembering of old empires brought the formation of many new nation states, therefore of emerging new capitals. Becoming independent in 1912, Albania chose its definitive capital, Tirana, in 1920. Since then, the city has been a showcase of planning and architectural interventions for various regimes that have come in power, and its centre was and still is seen as a possibility to show the political ideals of each. The aim of this study is to examine how this import...
The rise of ethno-nationalism in Cyprus under the British rule: 1878-1960
Kadıoğlu, Pınar; Akçalı, Pınar; Department of International Relations (2010)
This thesis is an attempt to inquire the origins of the Cyprus conflict by analyzing the historical developments that laid the ground for the inter-communal dispute in the late 1950s, while focusing on the structural dimension of the rise of ethnonationalisms in the island. The special emphasis is given to the British period 1878-1960 in the historical analysis since the ethno-religious identity consciousnesses of the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities in the island started to turn into ethnonational one...
Impacts of Transition from an Official Greek Viewpoint: The Case of the Turkish Muslim Minority in Western Thrace-Greece (1923-1933)
Hüseyinoğlu, Ali (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2012-4-1)
In the beginning of the 20th century, the dissolution of great empires in Europe resulted in formation of new nation states. Millions of people were forced to move from one place to another while others remained on their own historic lands. As the Ottoman Millet system collapsed together with the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, ethnic and religious differentiation among communities throughout the former Ottoman lands started to be promoted by new nation states of the post-World War. In this respect, thos...

Caner Yüksel, Çağla; Bakırer, Ömür; Department of Architecture (2009)
Western Anatolia witnessed a crucial and eventful period between the end of the 13th and the middle of the 15th centuries. The region stood in a critical position giving way to trade between East and West, located at the junction of the sea and land routes.

That is to say, this thesis focuses on the establishment and remodeling of the urban centers in Western...
