Toprak, Zafer
One of Turkey’s greatest friends and Atatürk biographer, the polyglot Andrew Mango died at the age of 88 on 6 July 2014. He has proved that it was still possible to be a scholar -in his case of Turkish studies- and a gentleman.

The Erdoganization of Turkish politics and the role of the opposition
Selcuk, Orcun; Hekimci, Dilara; Erpul, Onur (2019-10-01)
This article examines the personalization of Turkish politics during Recep Tayyip Erdogan's third term as prime minister. While many studies focus on the prime minister's growing personal domination of the executive branch, we consider how leaders of the opposition reflected and reinforced that trend. To test our hypotheses on this 'Erdoganization,' we employed a content analysis to consider Kemal Kilicdaroglu and Devlet Bahceli's speeches at weekly parliamentary group meetings of the CHP and the MHP. Our f...

Becan, Petek; Yurdusev, Ahmet Nuri; Department of European Studies (2007)

The question of how Turkish-European a...

Smits, J; Hoşgör, Hatice Ayşe (Informa UK Limited, 2003-09-01)
Data from the 1998 Turkish Demographic and Health Survey are used to gain insight into the characteristics of the non-Turkish speaking individuals in Turkey and in the socio-economic consequences of not speaking Turkish for them. The very large majority of non-Turkish speaking individuals turn out to be Kurdish and Arabic women, living in East Turkey and in the countryside. The data indicate that of the married women aged 15-49 in Turkey, about 4 per cent, or one in 25, is not able to speak Turkish. More th...
