Beşiktaş, Dolmabahçe ile Ortaköy arasında bulunan İstanbul’un hareketli
semtlerinden biridir. Roma devrinde Iasonion, Sergion; Bizanslılar devrinde ise
Daphne, Diplokion adlarıyla anılmıştır. Barbaros Hayreddin Paşa, Beşiktaş kıyısına
gemileri bağlamak için beş taş koydurur. Beşiktaş adının da böylece geldiği rivayet
edilir.222

Beşiktaş’ın adı eski kaynaklarda “Taş Beşik” olarak da geçmektedir. Yuşka
(Yaşka) adında bir rahip Beşiktaş’ın bulunduğu konuma bir kilise yaptırır ve
Kudüs’ten Hz. İsa’nın beşiğini bu kiliseye getirir. Bu sebeple de bu kilise Rumlar
arasında “Taş Beşik” olarak anılır.223

Evliya Çelebi Seyahatnamesi’nde Beşiktaş için şu sözler geçer:

“Eski zamanda bu şehir kefere elinde iken ismine Kuno petro derlerdi. Yani
‘Taş beşik’ demekti. Sebebi odur ki bu şehir zemini ormanlık ve ağaçlık iken Yaşka
adında bir rahip burada büyük bir kilise yapar. Bu rahip, Kudüs-i Şerif’te Hz.
İsa’nın doğduğu Beytü’l-lahm adlı yerden Hz. İsa’nın bebekliğinde ilk defa yıkandığı
taş tekneyi getirip bu kiliseye koyduğundan Rum dilinde Beşiktaş adıyla meşhur
olmuştur. Müslüman dilinde de bu şehre Beşiktaş derler. Zira suyu ve havası gayet
tatlıdır. Deniz kenarında, geniş sahalarda alçacık bayırlar üzere kat kat bağlı ve
bahçeli, avluları geniş hanedanlar, yalılar ve diğer evler vardır.” 224

Osmanlı şiirinde Beşiktaş, bir boğaz semti olduğu için güzellikleri ve
güzelleriyle anılmaktadır. Ayrıca devlet adamlarına ait gösterişli yapıları
barındırmasıyla da şiire konu olmuştur.

Nedîm divanında Beşiktaş iki yerde geçmektedir. Bu semti şiirlerinde evinin
burada olması münasebetiyle anar. Aşağıdaki beyit şairin en hünerli olduğu alan olan
bir şarkıdan alınmıştır. Şairin evi Beşiktaş’tadır. Nedîm, sevgiliye seslenerek
bakışlarından pek yaralandığını ve onun o güzel kaşlarına, boyuna posuna kapıldığını
dile getirir. Aynı zamanda da sevgiliyi Beşiktaş’taki evine davet eder ve oraya gizlice
gelmesini ister.

Amân pek yaralandım ol nigâh-ı şûh-ı evbâşa
Kapıldım doğrusu ol yâl ü bâle ol güzel kaşa
Geçersen semtimizden yolun uğrarsa Beşiktâşa
Efendim gel mürüvvet kıl senindir bende vü hâne
(Ş. 38/4)225

Nedîm divanında Beşiktaş bir gazelinde de yine bu semtte yer alan evi ile
dile getirilmiştir. Şair, sevgilinin izin alıp gelmesini ve Beşiktaş’a yakın yerde
bulunan viran haldeki evinde misafir olmasını diler.

Münâsibdir sana ey tıfl-ı nâzım hüccetin al gel
Beşiktaşa yakın bir hâne-i vîrânımız vardır
(G. 26/3)226

Seyyid Vehbî divanında Beşiktaş, Sahil Sarayı adına yazılan bir tarih
manzumesinde Sahil Sarayı’nın bulunduğu semt olması bakımından ele alınır.

Burç-ı âbîye idüp tahvil o mihr-i saltanat
Semt-i bahre oldugında sâye-endâz-ı Celâl
Kasr-ı vâlâ-yı Beşiktaşa yapup bir şeh-nişîn
Eyledi gül-mîh dergâhın leb-i deryaya hâl
(T. 11/5-6)227

Şeyh Gâlib divanında Beşiktaş, bir yerde bir su için yazılmış tarih kıt’asında bulunur.

TÂRÎH-İ MÂ-İ CÂRÎ DER-BEŞİKTAŞ
Derdim târîhini fass-ı nıgîn-âsâ anın Gâlib
Bu âb ile Beşiktaş oldu el-hak kıta-ı elmâs
(T. 64/1)228

Enderunlu Vâsıf divanında Beşiktaş’ı, bir şarkı manzumesinde padişahın
yaz aylarını geçirdiği bir yer olarak zikredilir. Padişahın Beşiktaş’a gelmesiyle
buranın bolluk ve bereketle dolduğunu ve bu semtin şereflendiğini söyler.

Mübârek makdemüŋle pâdişâhım oldu memnûnuŋ
Beşiktaşı şeref-yâb eyledi nakl-i hümâyûnuŋ
Olup zîb-i leb-i deryâ vücûd-ı feyz meşhûnuŋ
Beşiktaşı şeref-yâb eyledi nakl-i hümâyûnuŋ
(Ş. 73/1)229

Enderunlu Vâsıf divanında geçen bir başka beyitte Beşiktaş’ta yer alan
Yıldız Köşkü’nün bu semte parlaklık verdiğini söyler.

Eğer verdiyse Yıldız Köşkü fer semt-i Beşiktaşa
Bu sûy-ı Üsküdâra zîb-bahş-ı iftihâr oldu
(K. 22/20)230

Edirneli Kâmî divanında Beşiktaş, İbrahim Paşa Kasrı’na dair bir tarih
manzumesinde geçer. Şair, bu kasrın Beşiktaş’ta dünyada eşi benzeri bulunmayan bir
inci kadar değerli olacağını söyler.

Bulsa rağbet n’ola Beşiktaş’uŋ
Oldı fass-ı nigîni dürr-i yetîm
(T. 58/4)231

Azîzî divanında Beşiktaş, güzellerin salınmaya, gezmeye gittiği bir yer olarak bir kasidesinde bulunur.

Yolında cân fedâ edüp gider yanınca ‘âşıklar
Beşiktaşa salınmaga giden serv-i hırâmânuŋ
(K. 5/6)232

Sünbülzâde Vehbî divanında Beşiktaş, şairin meşhur Tannâne Kasidesi’nde
İstanbul’un en güzel semti olması vesilesiyle geçer.

Beşiktaş’ıŋ olursa mün’akis tasvîr-i dil-cûyu
Olur seng-i hacâletle şikeste âyine-hâne
(K.7/66)233

Sünbülzâde Vehbî divanında Beşiktaş, Defterdar Hilmi Paşa adına yazmış
olduğu kasidesinde de anlatılır. Şair Beşiktaş’ı dadı kucağında gezen çocukça vasıflı
gencin semti olarak ele alır.

Çün Beşiktaşlı henüz dâye kucagında gezer
Mehd-i âgûşa belenmez çocucakdır o civân
(K. 68/13)234

Bosnalı Aleaddin Sâbit divanında Beşiktaş, Sultan IV. Mehmed’in Beşiktaş
Kasrı’nı inşa ettirmesi üzerine bir tarih manzumesinde ele alınır. Şair, Beşiktaş’ta o
devrin mehdisinin (Sultan IV. Mehmed’in) isteği üzerine benzersiz güzellikte olan bu
bahçede bir köşk inşa edildi, der.

Beşiktaşda murâdı üzre ol Mehdî-i devrânuŋ
Olundı bu bedî’ü’t-tarh eyvân-ı bülend-ibdâ
(T. 2/2)235

Hevâyî divanında Beşiktaş, bir rubaide zikredilir. Şair bu rubaisinde denize
dalan bir dalgıçtan bahsetmektedir. Kayıkçının Beşiktaş kıyısına elbet çıkabileceğini
söyler.

Ölçüm (?) talgıç deŋiz dibine talamaz
İncüyü sadefle dehenine alamaz
Kayıkçı Beşiktaş’a elbette çıkar
Tophâne öŋünden Üsküdar’a salamaz
(Rb. 4)236

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Republic of Turkey (1923)

In the 20th century, three empires disappeared.

The Russian Tsardom in 1907, the Chinese Empire in 1911 and the Ottoman Empire in 1918. Turkey emerged from the Ottoman Empire as a republic, while the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics emerged from the Russian Tsardom and the People’s Republic of China emerged from the Chinese Empire. In the post-World War II period, the Republic of Turkey turned towards multi-party democratic life, while the regimes of the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China remained unchanged, but the Republic of Taiwan China was established on the island of Taiwan and adopted a democratic regime.

When we examine the establishment and development of the Republic of China in Taiwan, the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Turkey, the results we reach will be interesting.

The Republic of China, the earliest of these, was founded in 1911 by Sun Yat Sen on the Chinese mainland, and later, as a result of the civil war between the communists and the republicans, under the leadership of Chiang Kai Shek, who took over the leadership from Sun Yat Sen, the Republic of China defected to the island of Taiwan and continued to enrich its democratic structure in multi-party life. The Republic of China in Taiwan has actually developed itself as a combination of Japanese, Chinese and American cultures and is far superior to the People’s Republic of China in terms of science and technology.

The Republic of Azerbaijan, which was founded in 1918, was occupied by the Soviet communists shortly after its establishment and was transformed into the Azerbaijan People’s Republic.

In 1991, the Republic of Azerbaijan was revived. The cadres, who were the leaders of the idea of the Republic, ensured intellectual and social development in a period of 70 years from the mid-19th century and created a solid foundation for the Republic, but then they defected to the Republic of Turkey as a result of the pressures of the Soviet regime under Stalin. In the process of the establishment of Turkey as a republic, the founding cadres of the Republic of Azerbaijan shared their ideas and experiences with Turkey and contributed immensely and were actively involved in Turkish political life.

Mehmet Emin Resulzade, the founder of the Republic of Azerbaijan (1918)

The multi-party democratic life that began in 1946 in Turkey, which was positioned in the western camp at the Yalta conference in the aftermath of the Second World War, was constantly interrupted by coups organized by the United States. The potential of the Republic of Turkey, with its imperial accumulation, to be effective in its region and to change the intercontinental balances by putting this accumulation into use was constantly postponed and prevented by these coups.

As a result of the Yalta conference, the Soviet Union began to increase the pressure it exerted on the countries under its rule. As a result, following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Azerbaijan became independent as a republic in 1991.

The Republic of China in Taiwan has always been at the top of the economic development and democracy indices.

Sun Yat Sen, founder of the Republic of China (1911)

While the United States, the leader of the Western camp, is constantly restraining the democratic progress of the Republic of Turkey with coups due to Turkey’s location in the same region with Russia, on the other hand, Taiwan, which is located in the same region with the People’s Republic of China, is constantly advancing the democratic life in the Republic of China to the most advanced points, and the people in the People’s Republic of China are affected by democratic freedoms and economic wealth, and creating instability in China is constantly at the top of the agenda.

Ranking of Countries by Quality of Democracy

• 26 .  Taiwan. Democracy Works
• 137.  Turkey. Moderate Autocracy
• 157.  Azerbaijan. Rigid Autocracy

Source: Ranking of Countries by Quality of Democracy

Today, when the rankings of the three republics in the democracy league are monitored, the following picture emerges. According to the definitions in the table, the Republic of Taiwan is a working democracy, the Republic of Turkey is a moderate autocracy and the Republic of Azerbaijan is a strict autocracy.

Chiang Kai-shek, who led the Republic of China to the island of Taiwan in 1949

In the first quarter of the 20th century, Turkey, which crowned its struggle for independence with the Republic, moved away from the democratic dimension of the republic in the first quarter of the 21st century. The Republic of Azerbaijan, on the other hand, has not turned its struggle for independence, which it won towards the end of the 20th century, towards democracy. The Republic of Taiwan, on the other hand, has increasingly enriched its democracy despite the threats and security risks posed by the People’s Republic of China.

As a result of the 1997 agreement, Hong Kong, which broke away from the UK and moved towards integration with the People’s Republic of China after 50 years of transition, has fallen to 107th place in the League of Democracies and is now classified as a hybrid regime. Aware of this reality, Taiwan is resisting a similar unification. Taiwan’s official ideology is to transform the regime of the People’s Republic of China in favor of democracy.

As a result, the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China Taiwan are completely opposite to each other in terms of their democratic orientation, while the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan have become more and more similar to each other in their non-democratic orientation.

Since the mid-19th century, Turkey has been considered a European country, but its democratic development has been constantly hindered by the faraway continental state of the United States. The democratic development of the Republic of Azerbaijan is similarly hampered by the Soviet Union and then the Russian Republic. The democratic development of the Republic of China in Taiwan in the Asia Pacific has been consistently supported by the United States of America, a faraway continental state, as an adversary to the People’s Republic of China.

Three Hegemons and Three Republics

It seems that among the three hegemons of the UN5 powers, the US, Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan and the People’s Republic of China see the right to determine the fate of Taiwan as their own.

This is a sad state of affairs that necessitates intensive work and energy to be spent on solution scenarios.

Afrika Uluslar Kupası 2024 karşılaşmalarında ilk 16’ya kalan 16 takımdan 13’ü batı Afrika’da yeralırken bir takım Kuzey Afrika bir takım Orta Afrika ve bir takım da kuzey Afrika’da yer almaktadır.

İlk 16’ya kalan takımların %80’i batı Afrika bölgesindendir. 

Atlantik okyanusu kıyılarındaki milli takımlar önde gelmektedirler. Hint Okyanusu kıyılarında doğuda ise hiçbir takım ilk 16 arasında yer almamıştır, kıtada Fransa ekolü İngiliz ekolünden çok daha güçlü olarak gözükmektedir.

İlgi çekici olan fakir ülkelerin futbol takımlarının da bu ilk 16 arasında yaralıyor olmasıdır Mali, Moritanya gibi ülkeler oradan ayrılmayı bilmiştir. Portekiz ekolünden gelen Yeşil Burun Adaları ve Angola da turnuvanın favori ekibidir. Kuzey Afrika’dan ilk 16 arasına giren Fas ve Mısır olurken Tunus ve Cezayir elenmişlerdir.

Anlaşılan odur ki futbolun en popüler olduğu kıta olan Avrupa kıtası insan kaynağını giderek artan ölçülerde ölçülerde Afrika kıtasından elde edecektir. Afrika ülkelerinin futbolcuları da bunu bir fırsat olarak değerlendirmektedirler ve bu nedenle turnuvada üstün gayret ile kendilerini göstermeye çalışmaktadırlar.
