Su Çelikel, Levent Ağaoğlu.

Le poète et écrivain Levent Ağaoğlu, qui a écrit les livres « Vous êtes la pensée », « Ligne Chypre-Afrin », « Chypre est le centre du monde » et « Levandane », a vécu à Hong Kong pendant une période de sa vie. « Dans le langage, dans l’idée ; Ağaoğlu, qui travaille sur la série de livres de la Maison turque, du Centre de pensée et d’affaires à la poursuite de l’idéal de « l’unité dans le travail », souligne que les enfants qui veulent devenir écrivains devraient écrire ce qu’ils ont accumulé afin que cela ne soit pas oublié.

Quel a été le premier livre que vous avez lu étant enfant ?

Roman Moby Dick d’Herman Melville. L’univers coloré de l’écrivain américain m’a beaucoup impressionné.

Le plus grand pouvoir est le pouvoir de la pensée

Que devons-nous faire pour acquérir l’habitude de lire ?

Le plus grand pouvoir que le Créateur a donné aux hommes est le pouvoir de la pensée. Le Créateur voulait que les gens développent ce pouvoir essentiellement en lisant et en écrivant. La nuit la plus importante, la Nuit du Pouvoir, est aussi consacrée à la lecture et à l’écriture.

Nuit du pouvoir : lisez ! Été!

La Première Révélation est la suivante : (1) Lisez au nom de votre Seigneur, le Créateur ! (2) Il a créé l’homme à partir d’un embryon. (3) Lisez ! Votre Seigneur est infiniment miséricordieux. (4) Il est le Seigneur qui nous a appris à écrire avec la plume. (5) Il a enseigné à l’homme des choses qu’il ne connaissait pas. (Sourate al-Alaq, 1-5)

Lire et écrire sur les mondes fera certainement d’une personne l’un de ceux qui ont la connaissance.

Les imprimeries impriment des livres et les gens lisent des livres depuis 550 ans. Afin de prendre l’habitude de lire, il est important que nous lisions, partagions, évaluions et discutions constamment de ce que nous lisons en parlant et en écrivant avec nos amis et nos aînés. Il est également important de former des groupes de lecture et d’évaluer les livres que nous lisons ensemble. Après tout, la lecture n’est pas seulement une activité individuelle, c’est une activité sociale et nous pouvons développer et multiplier ce que nous lisons en le partageant. Nous pouvons également obtenir de nouvelles informations en partageant ce que nos amis lisent.

Après tout, le bassin où est collecté tout ce que nous lisons, ce que nous entendons, ce que nous entendons, ce dont nous parlons et ce que nous voyons est le bassin de la connaissance et de la paix. Pour que la personne et le pays dans lequel elle vit soient forts, cette piscine doit être aussi pleine et profonde que possible. Les Occidentaux ont surnommé ce pool « think tank ». Nous pouvons appeler le mot tank un entrepôt ou un groupe de réflexion. Ils remplissent constamment cet entrepôt et profitent de cet entrepôt. Cet entrepôt ne grandira que grâce à la lecture, notamment par les jeunes et les enfants.

Vivez pleinement votre temps

Si vous étiez un enfant aujourd’hui, liriez-vous des livres ?

L’enfance, en particulier jusqu’à l’âge de 7 ans, est une période au cours de laquelle sont posées les bases du développement d’une personne tout au long de sa vie. Les bienfaits des activités mentales durant cette période seront efficaces tout au long de la vie.

Qu’aimez-vous faire pendant votre temps libre?

L’atout le plus précieux de la vie est le temps et il faut toujours le vivre pleinement.

Que doivent faire les enfants qui veulent devenir écrivains ?

Vie; Elle est basée sur le temps, le sol et l’esprit. Il faut vivre pleinement le temps et évaluer constamment les dimensions passées, présentes et futures. Les souvenirs passés, les moments présents et les rêves futurs devraient toujours nous garder en vie. Il devrait y avoir un mouvement constant sur le terrain. Celui qui voyage beaucoup en sait beaucoup. La mémoire oculaire fait les enregistrements les plus forts et n’oublie pas.

Dans le cadre de mon métier, j’ai voyagé pour affaires dans 33 pays sur 4 continents (Europe, Asie, Afrique, Amérique du Sud) en 33 ans. Grâce à ce que j’ai vu, mes connaissances ont augmenté, mon esprit a commencé à générer constamment des questions, a acquis une structure dynamique et s’est constamment renouvelé.

Enregistrer en écrivant

Ce que nous expérimentons dans le temps (la vie) et sur le terrain (les yeux) s’accumule dans notre esprit (le cerveau). Il est nécessaire d’enregistrer par écrit les informations accumulées afin qu’elles ne soient pas oubliées. Au fur et à mesure que l’activité d’écriture se développe et est publiée, la personne deviendra écrivain.

Pour être écrivain, il faut suivre le cycle du temps, du sol et de l’esprit, voyager et voir (EYE), être un bon auditeur constant, écouter les gens, les discours, les conférences et les interviews (EAR), lire et écrire, prendre des notes. , (CERVEAU), écoutez ce que vous écoutez, Il doit partager avec les gens les conclusions qu’il tire de ce qu’il entend, lit et voit, en parlant et en correspondant. Les gens développent également des pensées en parlant et en écrivant.

Poet-writer Levent Ağaoğlu says that in order for children to gain reading habits, they should share what they read with their friends by talking and writing. Ağaoğlu says, “We can get new information from what our friends read through sharing.”

04:00 . 8/10/2023 Sunday

YeniŞafak Newspaper, Türkiye

Su Çelikel, Levent Ağaoğlu.

Su Celikel

Poet and writer Levent Ağaoğlu, who wrote the books titled “Cyprus-Afrin Line”, “Cyprus is the Centre of the World”, “Levendname” and “Düşünce Sizsiniz”, lived in Hong Kong for a period of his life.

Ağaoğlu, who is working on the Turkish House, Thought and Work House book series by pursuing İsmail Gaspıralı’s ideal of “Unity in Language, Idea; Unity in Work”, underlines that children who want to be writers should be recorded by writing so that the accumulated knowledge is not forgotten.

What was the first book you read as a child?

Moby Dick by Herman Melville. I was very impressed by the colourful world of the American writer.

The greatest power is the power of thought

What should we do to gain the habit of reading?

The greatest power that the Creator has given to people is the power of thought. The Creator wanted people to develop this power by reading and writing. The most important night, Laylat al-Qadr, is also related to reading and writing.

Laylat al-Qadr: Read! Write!

The first Revelation is as follows:

(1) Read in the name of your Lord, the Creator!

(2) He created man from a alak (embryo).

(3) Read! Your Lord is infinitely gracious.

(4) He taught man to write with the pen.

(5) He taught man what he did not know. (Surah Alak, 1-5)

Reading and writing the worlds will surely make a person one of those who know how much.

For 550 years, printing presses have been printing books and people have been reading books. In order to gain the habit of reading, it is important that we read continuously, share what we read with our friends and elders by talking, writing, evaluating and discussing.

It is also important that we form reading groups and evaluate the books we read by gathering together. Reading is not only an individual activity, it is a social activity and we can enlarge and multiply what we read by sharing it. We can also gain new information from what our friends read through sharing.

After all, what we read, what we hear, what we speak, what we see are all gathered in a pool of knowledge. This pool should be as full and deep as possible in order for the person and the country to be strong.

Westerners have named this pool a “think tank”. We can also call the word “tank” as “tank” or “thought tank”.They are constantly filling that tank and making use of it. This tank will grow only through reading, especially the reading of young people and children.

Live time to the fullest

If you were a child today, would you read books?

The childhood period, especially until the age of 7, is a period in which the foundations of the lifelong development of human beings are laid.The return of mental activities in this period will be effective throughout life.

What do you do in your free time?

Time is the most valuable asset in life and should always be lived to the fullest.

What should children who want to be a writer do?

Life is based on time, ground and mind.They should live time to the fullest and constantly evaluate past, present and future dimensions.Past memories, present moments and future dreams should always keep us alive.The ground should be constantly mobile. He who travels a lot knows a lot.Eye memory makes the strongest records and does not forget.

As a requirement of my profession, I have travelled to 33 countries in 4 continents (Europe, Asia, Africa, South America) in 33 years. As a result of what I have seen, my knowledge has increased, my mind has started to produce questions, gained a dynamic structure and constantly renewed itself.

Record by writing

What we experience in time (life) and ground (eye) accumulates in our mind (brain).In order not to forget what is accumulated, it is necessary to record it by writing. As the writing activity develops and is published, the person will become a writer.

In order to become a writer, one must work the cycle of time, ground and mind, travel and see, (EYE), be a good and continuous listener, listen to people, speeches, conferences and interviews (EAR), read and write, take notes, (BRAIN), share the results of what he/she listens, hears, reads and sees with people by speaking and writing. People also develop thoughts while speaking and writing.

Katledilen Türk Önderler

 

Türkiye dışındaki 14 ülkede Türk önderler katledilmişlerdir, İran, Bulgaristan ve Kıbrıs’da ise daha farklı yöntemler uygulanmıştır.

Bir kalıp çıkıyor idam edilen Türk önderler olarak etiketledim. Yugoslavya’da Yücelci  Türkler 1948, 4 kişi idam edildi. Nazmi Ömer de benim akrabam. Necdet Koçak Irak’ta idam edildi.

Bunlar 17 tane ülke. Hepsi idam edilen Türk önderler, kalıp şeklinde gelişmiş

Atatürk, Hatay’ı Türkiye’deki bazı kişilere rağmen Türkiye’ye kattı ve Atatürk vefat ettikten sonra bu Türk önderler de teker teker idam edilmeye başlandı. Yani bu içerideki katkı ne kadardı bu engel olmama konusu.

Mesela 1948’de Yücel Türkler idam edildiğinde bilgi buradan mı gitti

Bu nasıl bir kalıptır ki bu kadar Türk önder liderler idam edildiler oradaki ülkeler tarafından.

Kırgızistan

• Kasım Tınıstanov 
• Kırgızistan Törokul Canuzakov
• KIRGIZİSTAN’DA SİYASİ KATLİAM (1937-1938)

-Kırgızistan’ın önde gelen 137 Türkolog, yazar, şair, ve bilim adamı farklı suçlamalarla 1937 yılında evlerinden alınmışlar ve bir daha onlardan hiç haber alınamamıştır. Kırgız edebiyatı tarihinde Çon- Taş katliamı olarak bilinen bu olayda tutuklanan aydınlar arasında Törekul Aytmatov (Cengiz Aytmatov’un babası), dilci Türkolog Kasım Tınıstanov ve Osmonkul Aliyev’in de bulunduğu 137 kişinin akıbeti, ancak 1991 yılında anlaşılabilinmiştir. Çon Taş bölgesinde topluca kurşuna dizilen 137 bilim insanı için orada “Ata-Beyit” adı verilen anıt mezar yapılmıştır.

Özbekistan

• TÜRKİsTAN’DA “KızıL KIRGIN” KURBANLARı

Gürcistan 

• Ahıska Türkleri
• Cemal Paşa

Tacikistan

Rusya

• Sultan Galiyev 
• Mollanur Vahidov
• Salavat Yulayev – halk kahramanı – Başkurtistan
• İdil Ural bölgesinde Stalin dönemi baskısından nasibini almış yazarlardan Fatih Kerimi, Ayaz İshaki, Galimcan İbrahimov, Galimcan Şeref, Yakup Azizov, Hadi Atlasi, Abdullah Tukay, Şamun Fidai, İbrahim Yosfıy, Şehzade Babiç, Fatih Emirhan, Segit Remiyev Mirheyder Feyzi gibi aydınlar sürülerek, kurşuna dizilerek yok edilmişlerdir.

Tataristan

İran

İran’daki bitişik Türk coğrafyasını Azerbaycan ile sınırlandırmak yanlıştır ve bunun arkasında Rusya vardır. İran’da Türk nüfus çok olduğu için, İran devleti idam dışındaki yöntemler uygulamıştır. İdam etse İran’ın genelinde ayaklanma olur ve İran devleti bu ayaklanmayı kontrol edemez.

Tahran dünyadaki en büyük Türk nüfus barındıran bir şehirdir.

“I have never felt that I belonged to the East throughout my life. One day, when I started ceramics, I saw that all the images that overflowed out of me reflected the colours, forms and symbols of the land where I was born and raised, not the taste, philosophy and form of the western society I admired.

I was a prisoner of Ottoman tulips, carnations and willows, Kütahya green, tile red and especially Mediterranean turquoise… I was Byzantium, Istanbul and Anatolia from head to toe, it turns out!” ( Füreya Koral )

I visited the ceramic exhibition of Füreya Koral (1910-1997) at the Maçka Art Gallery on 3 October 2023 in Istanbul. I had the opportunity to follow the journey of the artist’s sensibility with full of discoveries step by step over time. The most important of these discoveries was revealed by Mrs. Füreya in her own words as above.

You will also be able to see a few ceramic sketches that I was able to photograph. The critical points in her life story are that her father was Mehmet Emin Koral, one of the leading commanders of our War of Independence, Atatürk’s visits to their house in Elmadağ, Istanbul, and the British occupation forces seized the house during the occupation of Istanbul and turned it into the mansion of the British commander.

Mrs. Füreya was initially influenced by western culture, then by the Mayan and Aztec cultures of South America and finally by the colourfulness of our own culture. Here, we can see the universal dimension of art from all aspects.

I am also grateful for the hospitality of Mrs Didem Çapa and the invitation of my friend Mr Salim Zaimoğlu.

Yes, ceramics is a universal branch of art that is extremely fertile in terms of expressing the colours and people encountered by Turks travelling tens of thousands of kilometres around the world. It also overlaps with us Turks.

We also hope that ceramic art applications, which were once encountered at the entrances of buildings, will be resumed.

Maçka sanat galerisindeki Füreya Koral (1910-1997) seramik sergisini 3 Ekim 2023 tarihinde açılışında gezdim. Sanatçı duyarlılığının zaman içerisindeki keşiflerle dolu yolculuğunu adım adım izleme imkanı bulabildim. Bu keşiflerden en önemlisini Füreya hanım kendi cümleleriyle ortaya koymuşlar.

Fotoğraflarını çekebildiğim birkaç seramik eskizini de görebileceksiniz. Yaşam öyküsündeki kritik noktalar babasının Kurtuluş Savaşı’mızın önde gelen komutanlarından Mehmet Emin Koral olması, Atatürk’ün İstanbul  Elmadağ’daki evlerini ziyarete gelişleri ve İstanbul’un işgali esnasında İngiliz işgal kuvvetlerinin eve el koyarak İngiliz komutanın malikanesi haline getirmeleri ilgimi çekti.

Füreya hanım başlangıçta batı kültüründen etkilenmenin ardından güney Amerika’nın Maya ve Aztek kültürlerinden ve nihayetinde kendi kültürümüzün renkliliğinden etkileniyor. Burada sanatın evrensel boyutunu da tüm yönlerden görebilmiş oluyoruz.

Didem Çapa hanımefendinin evsahipliği, dostum Salim Zaimoğlu Bey’in daveti için de ayrıca müteşekkirim.

Evet seramik, dünyada onbinlerce kilometre yol kat eden Türklerin bu yollarda rastladıkları renkleri ve insanları sanatsal yönlerden ifade edebilmek açısından son derece münbit ve açılımlar sağlayan evrensel bir sanat dalı. Biz Türklerle de çok örtüşüyor. Bir dönem yapıların girişlerinde rastlanılan seramik sanat uygulamalarına yeniden başlanması temennisiyle.
