Iran with its unique geographically most suitable for animal husbandry and has always been a home for myriad of tribes who have played a significant role in its socio-political history. Milan, among the many, is one of the largest nomadic Kurdish tribes in West Azarbaijan province, about which no information except for few is available. Applying qualitative method and semi-in-depth structural interviews and reviewing historical documents, we examined the historical roots of Milan and its socio-economic life in Iran. The findings show that Milan is originally a large Kurdish confederacy in northern parts of Iraq that was forced to move to Turkish borders with Iran during the Ottoman period to counter the Safavid regime's attacks. Due to fertility of lands, Milan resided there forever and then after, some branches migrated to Iran and settled down in its northwestern parts.

A preliminary prioritization framework of seismic safety for historical structures in Türkiye Temiz, Caner; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-12-01) Historical structures have great importance since they form the basis of cultural identity of countries. Among these structures, those located in seismically active regions have been exposed to many earthquakes since they were built. Due to these seismic effects, historical structures are under constant risk of severe damage and collapse. Historical structures are mainly constructed as masonry structures prior to the development of more advanced and scientific construction methods and seismic resistance p...
Spatial analysis of commercially important Lessepsian fish invasion in the Mediterranean Sea Fach Salihoğlu, Bettina Andrea; Ureten, Mehmet Alp (2021-08-01) The Mediterranean Sea is home to numerous invasive species that migrated through the Suez Canal, some of which have already established thriving populations. These Lessepsian species account for 2/3 of all alien species recorded in the sea today and impact native species and the equilibrium of the marine ecosystem. One example is Threadfin bream (Nemipterus randalli), a benthic fish with a pelagic larval stage, which was first detected in 2005 off the coast of Israel and has been a particular successful inv...
A Short fragment of ancient DNA and its use in determination of sheep mitochondrial dna haplogroups in Southeast Anatolia Dağtaş, Nihan Dilşad; Togan, İnci Zehra; Department of Biology (2013) Recent archaeozoological studies indicated that perhaps the oldest (11,000 years before present) and may be the only sheep domestication center was in Southeast Anatolia. In this study, to contribute to the understanding of sheep domestication history, ancient DNA derived from skeletal remains of sheep unearthed from archaeological sites in Turkey mainly from Oylum Höyük in Kilis were examined. 187 ancient metapodia and mandible samples, dating between 1,800-30 BCE were brought from Oylum Höyük to the dedic...

This chronological account is interrupted by three chapters dedicated to topics that the author believed merited a detailed discussion: the origins, movements and language(s) of the Indo-Europeans (Chapter 3), the image of the fe...
The Impact of the Turkic Council (TURKKON) on Developing/Improving Relations between Turkey and Central Asia Kuşçu Bonnenfant, Işık; Ayata, Ayşe; Şentürk, Sezin; Doğangün, Huriye Gökten; Gürsoy Erdenay, Hazar Ege; Karadağ, Yelda(2016-12-31) Turkey welcomed the independence of the Central Asian republics with great excitement in terms of the potential opportunities for Turkey in the region. Immediately after the Soviet disintegration and the subsequent independence of the former Soviet republics of Central Asia, Turkish foreign policy evolved in a direction to initiate integration efforts with these countries. Turkey took the lead in designing cooperation mechanisms among the countries of Central Asia. Established in 2009 as the most comprehen...
