Aykaç Leıdholm, Pınar (2021-09-01)
After coming to power in 2002, the Justice and Development Party evoked the ‘glory’ of the Ottoman past, seeking to expand Turkey’s cultural sphere of influence to the former territories of the Ottoman Empire – a phenomenon commonly referred to as neo-Ottomanism.

A City transformed: war, demographic change and profiteering in kayseri (1915-1920)
Gözel Durmaz, Oya; Ergut, Ferdan; Department of History (2014)

All of them greatly altered the composition of the population. The change in the demographic composition of Turkey corresponded to a significant era in Turk...
