Tea Talk Habit in Turkey

Turks

Levent Ağaoğlu

05/11/2022

The tea habit in Turkey on TV programme.

It’s become borderline OCD.

It’s far superior than being seen with a Pepsi, Coke or Beer.

Though Turks do not have proverbs on tea and tea drinking as tea is later introduced drinking in Turkey, Turks are no1 tea drinkers and they have special glass tumblers and drinking styles. When it comes to tea drinking Turks look like Japanese with thir elegant stylish behaviours for drinking and eating.

Turks have developed philosophy with their language which is very rich and very traveller plus with tea drinking habits.

Tea is like air and water for Turks.

Maybe tea was not born in these lands, maybe coffee took more place in our culinary history. Let it be. We loved the tea. Enough to call ourselves tea drinkers.
We wrote poems for it, scribbled on walls, always called it more than just a drink.
In short, we called ourselves tea drinkers.

So who is the real tea drinker?

If you can’t start the day without tea while others are talking about coffee
If you say “Breakfast is not with orange juice but with tea”
If you can’t come to your senses without drinking at least 5 cups of tea during the day
If the hot weather does not prevent you from drinking tea
If you burn the bottom of the tea as soon as you enter the house
You can tell if the tea is fresh by looking at its color.

If you’ve ever heard the phrase “Food fills the stomach, tea fills the soul”
Tea is not just a beverage for you…
Sipping with the people you love…
If it’s a reason for an indescribable conversation
If you forget your tiredness with a sip from your slim waist

If you’ve ever heard the whisper of tea being brewed on the stove at least once in your life
If you do not have very sympathetic feelings towards tea bags
If you think that a sip of tea on the ferry makes all the troubles go to the sea.
If you are looking for tea with you even while looking at the most beautiful view in the world

If poems with tea in them can brew life better
If you think that for a house to be a home, tea must be brewed in it.
“Is it time for tea, am I English?” if you can say
If you hold the people you drink tea with different from others
Loneliness is what you call “I’m brewing tea, will you drink it?” if you know up to the question

You are a true tea drinker

Third Roman Empire

READERS
TURKISH HISTORY & POLITICS

Levent Ağaoğlu

04/11/2022

With the conquest of Istanbul, two small Byzantine princes were recruited by the Ottomans. These two princes were members of the Paleologos dynasty, which would appear in the following years as Messiah Pasha and Has Murat Pasha. The fact that two Byzantine princes were recruited and made Ottoman is a concrete proof that Fatih conquered Istanbul and designed the Ottoman Empire as the Third Roman Empire.

There is no clear information about the identity of the fathers of Messiah Pasha and Has Murat Pasha. It is written that Constantine, the last Emperor of Byzantium, had children from his brother, but Constantine did not have children to be heirs behind his brothers. (Except for Thomas, who fled to Italy.) My personal research is that these two brothers were Constantine’s father, the Byzantine emperor II. It is that one of Manuel’s brothers has children. It is stated in the Historia Turchesca written by Giovanni Maria Angiolello that the father of these two is Gidos Paleologos. There is no other information that the fathers of Messiah Pasha and Has Murat Pasha were Gidos/Vitos/Vidos Paleologos.

But these two brothers are very important for the Paleologos dynasty, because if Byzantium had continued to exist after Constantine the 11th, one of these two brothers would probably have ascended the throne. That’s how important these two Byzantine princes were and they were both recruited. Messiah Pasha served as grand vizier in the following years. His elder brother, Murat Pasha, rose up to the Rumeli Governorate and was martyred in the Battle of Otlukbeli. Messiah Pasha started to build a mosque and a madrasah in Gallipoli, where he was as a sanjak principality or navy commander, and established a foundation belonging to them.

Messiah Pasha also converted the Myrelaion Church in Laleli into a mosque.

Üçüncü Roma İmparatorluğu

READERS
TURKISH HISTORY & POLITICS

Murat Paşa Camii, Aksaray, İstanbul

İstanbul’un fethi ile birlikte iki küçük Bizans prensi Osmanlı tarafından devşirildi. Bu iki prens ilerleyen yıllarda karşımıza Mesih Paşa ve Has Murat Paşa olarak çıkacak olan Paleologos hanedanı mensuplarıydılar. İki Bizans prensi’nin devşirilerek Osmanlı yapılması, Fatih’in İstanbul’u alarak Osmanlı’yı Üçüncü Roma İmparatorluğu olarak dizayn ettiğinin somut bir delilidir.

Has Murat Paşa da Aksaray’da Murat Paşa Camii’ni yaptırmış, lakin tam tamamlayamadan şehit düşünce bu cami de kardeşi tarafından tamamlanmıştır.

Murat Paşa Camii
Murat Paşa Camii Haziresi

Mesih Paşa’nın 3 oğlu bilinmekte
1. Ali bey,
2. Mahmud Çelebi,
3. Bali bey (Vulçıtrın sancak beyi).

Gerek Mesih Paşa, gerek Has Murat Paşa‘nın çocukları onların soylarını devam ettirmişlerdir. Günümüzde her ne kadar kim olduklarını bilmiyorsak da, son Bizanslılar, yani Paleologos soyundan gelenler hala aramızda yaşıyorlar…

Bodrum Camii, Laleli, İstanbul

Mesih Paşa ve Has Murat Paşa‘nın babalarının kimliğine dair net bir bilgi yok. Bizans’ın son İmparatoru Konstantin’in abisinin çocukları olduğu yazılır, lakin Konstantin’in abilerinin ardında varis olacak çocukları yoktur. (İtalya’ya kaçan Thomas hariç.) Şahsi araştırmalarım bu iki kardeşin Konstantin’in babası Bizans imparatoru II. Manuil’in kardeşlerinden birinin çocukları olduğu yönündedir. Bu ikisinin babasının Gidos Paleologos olduğu Giovanni Maria Angiolello’nun yazdığı Historia Turchesca adlı eserde belirtilmektedir. Mesih Paşa ve Has Murat Paşa‘nın babalarının Gidos/Vitos/Vidos Paleologos olduğuna dair başka da bir bilgi yoktur.

Son İmparator 11.Konstantin

Fakat bu iki kardeş Paleologos hanedanı için çok önemlidir, zira 11. Konstantin’den sonra Bizans varlığını sürdürseydi muhtemelen tahta bu iki kardeşten biri geçecekti. İşte bu iki Bizans prensi bu kadar önemliydi ve her ikisi de devşirildiler. Mesih Paşa ilerleyen yıllarda sadrazamlık yapmış. Abisi Has Murat Paşa ise Rumeli Beylerbeyliği’ne kadar yükselmiş, Otlukbeli Savaşı’nda şehit olmuştur… Mesih Paşa, sancak beyliği yahut donanma komutanı olarak bulunduğu Gelibolu’da bir cami ve medrese yaptırmaya başlamış ve bunlara ait bir vakıf oluşturmuştur.

Mesih Paşa (ö. 1501), II. Bayezid saltanatında 1499-1501 yılları arasında sadrazamlık yapmış Osmanlı devlet adamıdır.

Osmanlı Sadrazamı
Görev süresi 1499-1501
Hükümdar: II. Bayezid
Yerine geldiği: Çandarlı (2.) İbrahim Paşa
Yerine gelen: Hadım Ali Paşa
Kişisel bilgiler
Ölüm: 1501
İstanbul

Aslen Rum olup, Paleologos Hanedanı’na mensuptur. Son Bizans imparatoru XI. Konstantinos’un yeğeni (kızkardeşinin oğlu) olur. Beylerbeyliği ve vezirlik görevlerine getirilmiştir. 1480 yılında gerçekleştirilen Rodos seferinde serdar olarak atanmış ancak adanın alınamaması üzerine vezirlikten azledilerek Gelibolu sancakbeyliğine gönderilmiştir. Daha sonra divanda vezir bulunurken Çandarlı İbrahim Paşa’nın vefatı üzerine vezir-i azam olmuştur. 1501 yılında Galata’daki barut mahzenine yıldırım düşmesi sonucu çıkan yangının söndürülmesi için çalışırken, Galata kadısı ile bulunduğu yüksek yerden düşerek yaralanmış ve birkaç gün sonra ölmüştür.

Popüler Kültürde Yeri: 2021’de TRT 1 de yayınlanmaya başlayan Barbaroslar: Akdeniz’in Kılıcı dizisinde Yıldırım Gücük tarafından canlandırılmıştır.

Mesih Paşa bunun dışında Laleli’de bulunan Myrelaion Kilisesi’ni camiye çevirmiştir.

Mesih Paşa’nın Mezarı

Tür: Anıt Mezar
Kültür: Bizans, Osmanlı
Yüzyıl: 16. yy
Bölge: Türkiye, Marmara Bölgesi, İstanbul, Fatih, Aksaray (Fatih)

Aslen bir Doğu Romalı(Bizanslı) olup, 1453’teki fetih sonrası abisiyle birlikte esir düşmelerini takiben, Fatih Sultan Mehmed tarafından Enderun’a alınıp, eğitilmesi sağlanarak, II. Bayezid döneminde Vezir-i Azam mevkisine kadar yükselmiş Osmanlı devlet adamıdır. Paleologos Hanedanı mensubu olması münasebetiyle, Konstantiniyye fethedilmeseydi, abisi Has Murad Paşa gibi kendisi de XI. Konstantinos sonrası en muhtemele taht adaylarından biriydi. 1501 Galata yangınını söndürme çalışmalarına yardım ettiği sırada, yüksekçe bir yerden düşerek, kendisi gibi devşirme olan abisinin yaptırdığı, Aksaray’da bulunan Has Murad Paşa Külliyesi haziresine defnedilmiştir. Alan ziyarete açıktır.

Mesih Paşa (ö. 1501), II. Bayezid saltanatında 1499-1501 yılları arasında sadrazamlık yapmış Osmanlı devlet adamıdır.

Biz bugün tarihimize baktığımız zaman Fatih Sultan Mehmet’ten itibaren bütün Roma’nın entelektüelleri Osmanlı tarafından kendi bünyesine katılmıştır. İstanbul Aksaray’da Murat Paşa Camisi, ondan sonra Sadrazam Mesih Paşa bunlar hepsi Doğu Roma’nın ikisi de en son ölen imparatorun varisleri idiler. Çünkü son ölen imparator Onbirinci Konstantin’in erkek evladı yoktu. Eğer ölseydi onun yerine bu kişiler geçecekti, bunlar daha sonra Osmanlı İmparatorluğu tarafından bünyelerine alınmış entelektüellerdir.

Has Murat Paşa, son Doğu Roma İmparatoru IX.’un oğullarındandır. Konstantinos’un ağabeyi ve İstanbul’un fethinden sonra sadece Müslüman olmakla kalmadı, aynı zamanda vezir oldu. Can Ceylan @canceylan73
