Anatolian Greek refugees were resettled all over Greece, with the exception of the Dodecanese which were still under Italian occupation.

The distribution however was far from uniform; refugees either formed suburban settlements around the main Greek cities or new rural settlements in sparsely populated areas, especially in regions where non-Greeks had just left because of the population exchanges.

The Computer Science and Computational Finance department[1] of the University Of Ioannina has published a series of very interesting interactive maps about refugee settlements, however most of them don’t distinguish between Anatolian Greeks.

Settlements in 1923 with at least 20% refugees[2]

Main refugee settlements in 1928[3]

Map showing the proportion of refugees within each province (1928)[4]

Map of the reported original settlements of the refugees[5]

Finally, the most useful interactive map to answer this question can be found here. It combines data from previous sources and cross-references the origins and settlements of the refugees where such a connection can be made. Wording on the page however suggests that the data is limited to farmers.

For example, this map is showing the places where refugees from Alikarnasos/Bodrum settled:

12,000 years of Unique Civilisation in Turkey

© Copyright photo (1975 Didyma) and text by Levent Ağaoğlu

The only rectangular peninsula on the earth’s surface is the Turkish Peninsula. As a result, all roads point to Turkey like a compass from all directions. Those who migrated, fought, and were in trouble always saw the Turkish Peninsula as a place to take shelter. Of course, there are geographical advantages brought by being a peninsula rather than an island. The people of the island are always troubled (as in the islands of Japan and England) and they develop a closed society structure.

However, people in the peninsula of Turkey go and come. In this way, a clear sociological structure that is open to the world has manifested itself in these lands.

Countless people come from the north, south, east and west. Phrygians came from the Balkans from the west, the Hittites, the Hattians from the northern steppes, the Persians from the Iranians from the east, the Ionians, the Greeks, the Jews from the west, the Arabs from the south, and the Turks from all directions came to this peninsula, the Turkish peninsula, settled down and formed the invaluable and diversified human resource.

The peninsula coasts are indented, the genes are curly, genes from all the people of the world are in question here.

While, The People’s Republic of China boasts a 5000-year history of civilization and propagates it in its official documents. Uyghur Turks also express their feelings and thoughts by saying “these Chinese probably forgot their civilization in their kitchen”.

Turkey, on the other hand, is witnessing a 12,000-year-old civilization history with the Göbeklitepe and Karahantepe excavations recently, we live in the territory of a country with an open treasure. However, the Minister of Culture and Tourism mentions 12 hills, and that the propaganda of 12 similar hills around Urfa will be made as “12 hills in Mesopotamia”.

However, what should be emphasized here should be the dimension of time, not space.

What needs to be done is obvious; to promote Turkey in the world markets with a slogan titled “12,000 years of Turkish civilization” and an accompanying logo. If this is not done, why is it not done, we should ask this question as well.

China is proud of its 5000-year-old history, that China is based only on the Chinese, and China is not meaningful outside of its geography today, there is a Chinese presence there only because of the Chinese who migrated to the southeast in ancient times. However, whether in America or western Europe, the Chinese live in separate neighborhoods in the China Town ghettos, they have no interaction with the society they live in. In their investments in Africa, they employ only Chinese workers there.

Turkey, on the other hand, represents humanity, and what we call Turk is already Adam. There have been people coming from all directions to the geography of Turkey from the north, west, east and south, and these people have mingled and mixed with each other in the Turkish Peninsula, and Turkey has become a country of languages ​​and religions.

Christianity, Islam and Judaism found their true meaning, power and strength in these lands, in the geography of Turkey. Previously, Christians practiced their religious beliefs by hiding in underground caves in Cappadocia, this is the years when Christianity was first born, then Jews exiled from Spain in 1492 at the end of the 15th century took refuge in Turkey. Turks exiled from the Balkans in 1912 and Muslims exiled from Syria in the 2011 Syrian war came and took refuge in Turkey.

It is humanity and deep civilisation that Turkey represents.

New Karahantepe settlement may be older than Göbeklitepe in Turkey

Speaking at the 10th International Resort Tourism Congress on Thursday, Culture and Tourism Minister of Turkey, Mehmet Nuri Ersoy said that an intensive and rapid excavation program continues in Karahantepe. Ersoy said the teams will uncover a settlement that belongs to the Neolithic period, according to the first studies, in their next work.

“Göbeklitepe has a history of 12,000 years. Our new settlement in Karahantepe will be older. The comprehensive works will be sustained in the site under the supervision of professor Necmi Karul, the head of the excavation team, next year. We will probably have a new discovery that will make an overwhelming impression on the world again after Göbeklitepe,” he said.

China Focus: 5,000-year-long Chinese civilization verified
Source: Xinhua| 2018-05-28 22:12:32|Editor: ZX

BEIJING, May 28 (Xinhua) — Chinese civilization has been verified as having existed for at least 5,000 years by a comprehensive investigation into the origin and early development of Chinese civilization, Guan Qiang, deputy director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage (SACH) said on Monday.

The investigation began in 2001 with fourth stage completed in 2016.

“Years of large-scale excavations in the ruins of Liangzhu in east China’s Zhejiang Province, the Taosi site in north China’s Shanxi Province, the Shimao site in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, and the Erlitou site in central China’s Henan Province have provided proof,” said Wang Wei, who works on the project.

On the basis of scientific summary of field archaeology achievements scored in China over the past 90 years, the research team carried out multidisciplinary studies ranging over social division of labor, class differentiation, central cities and compulsory power so as to present prominent features that define the dawn of a civilized society in ancient China, said Guan.

Turkish Civilization

Turkish Civilization

by Iskender Pala, Author

Here, I think that the Republic of Turkey and you young people are very lucky for a Turkish civilization, and that you are a generation that will live a very happy life. This is the basis of my opinion. If civilization can be revealed by cultural data, then I count the nations of the world that have the most culture. After the destruction of Baghdad, after the destruction of Damascus, it is you who will represent all the wealth of the East, all that cultural history, that amazing accumulation going back ten thousand years. America, which has a history of 450 years, fascinates us with its collection of cultural materials and the magnificence of its museums. However, the energy he spent for this is now approaching the end. Because today’s young people see the culture they belong to as a part of their identity. Cultural conflict has made people say, “My culture beats your culture,” as well as making nations say, “My culture beats your culture.”

Istanbul or the geography of Anatolia is like a folder… There are files in the folder. You open the cover, the first file, you read a beautiful article, patterns drawn in a beautiful color. You are excited. You say how well he prepared it. You remove it, then you look at the back with the word “Republic”. Then comes the second file. You are reading, it consists of a few pages, colors and patterns are different. You are amazed there too, your eyes are dazzled. Once you look at it, the Ottoman is written on the back. Then another file comes: Seljuk. You lift Urartu, you lift Lydia, you lift Phrygia, you lift others… If a new civilization will emerge in the midst of new cultural conflicts, this civilization will be the Turkish civilization, which has all the accumulation of the East.

Aphorisms: Civilisation

by Professor Dr Ismail Hakki Aydin

Civilization is the bearable of those who cannot stand each other!

Western civilization was founded on plunder.

Civilization, science and technology; develops with knowledge, self-confidence, freedom and critical view.

Civilization progresses by race, not war!

With civilization, order and hierarchy have been replaced by change and freedom.

Civilization is the child of religion-based morality and science and technology nourished by culture and art.

Turkey and Civilisation

© Copyright photo by Levent Ağaoğlu, 2003. Budapest, Hungary

 

“Universal civilization is established by the formation of an order from the very different wishes of people on earth”. Biruni (973-1061)

 

  • Languages ​​are our wealth of civilization. The most important feature of 8-11th century Turkestan was that the thinkers knew more than one language.
  • In 1987, I was in Syria, France, and China, and in the lands of three great civilizations before covid; in India, Egypt and Iran.  The only conclusion I have drawn on behalf of my country from my business travel and country observations due to my export profession; Everything for HUMAN.
  • Come in;
    https://booksonturkey.com/travellers-talks-2/
  • Our axis; It is our civilization.
    Our compass; They are our concepts.
    Our Route: Civilization is Our Geography
  • What we need to take seriously is how to revive our heritage of civilization; not easy job and task.
  • Turks have to know the languages ​​in our civilization basins, our communication is very limited. We are closed in.
  • 700-1200 years; #Maveraünnehir/#Horasan Let’s revive our Renaissance. How?
  • Asia is Greater Asia, and Europe is already in that huge continent, Greater Asia. Europe has isolated itself as a separate civilization. It has drawn its borders, closed it.
  • “In general, it can be said that there is always a skeptical, timid, hesitant and unfriendly view towards “Turk” in Europe. This view towards the Turk is part of the general xenophobia in Europe.” http://erolgoka.net/avrupada-turk-imgesi/
  • The goal of One Global Civilization is one gender, one religion, one language, one state. Is this Contemporary Civilization? Technology does not exist, it destroys.
  • Turkish architectural works in Turkestan, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Africa, Russia, Ukraine, Rumelia are our marks of civilization.

Turkey and Ethiopia, Africa
To describe Turkey and Ethiopia (Abyssinia), the birthplace of civilizations, as alone and as belonging to nowhere is an acknowledgment of the western mind, which lacks civilization, which is divisive and conflicting. Levent Ağaoğlu

Isn’t it difficult to glue a displaced society, cut off from its local ties, to its past? Huntington, whom I never liked, described Turkey as a “torn country”. In short, alone and not belonging to any “place”! People here have a hard job! @aupeker· 15 May 2020

Why Turkey is Unique?

Levent Ağaoğlu

Why Turkey is Unique?

China is eastern culture; Although it claims to be universal (zhong gou: central country), it is not, it is one-legged.

On the other hand, Turkey has produced civilizations in 3 main continents in Asia, Europe and Africa .

Turkey synthesized East and West.

The Chinese cannot even elect a village headman, though Turkey have had local administrations since 1840.

In that sense, Turkey and China are far from each other.

The Turks, on the other hand, were in touch with both the West and China; both fought and exchanged cultures; it is unique experiment.

Famous people from Kırşehir in Cappadocia, Turkey

Famous people from Kırşehir in Cappadocia, Turkey
  • The center of Bektashism, Kırşehir, was also a sacred place during the Roman period. Cappadocia. I had prepared an article on this subject on my website. Its name during the Roman period was Justinianopolis. The famous emperor Justinian who had Hagia Sophia built and had Roman law written in Istanbul. Kanuni also means the same as Kanuni Sultan Süleyman. In the sense of justice. Yes, the emperor Constantine who founded Istanbul named it Constantinople and the spiritual sacred center was named Justinianopolis by the emperor Justinian in the 500s. Both are the greatest emperors of the Roman Empire
  • Metropolitan Archbishopric of Mocissus
    Mocissus was also a Christian bishopric, and became a metropolitan see when, as Procopius (De ædif., V, iv) informs us, Justinian divided Cappadocia into three provinces and made this fortified site in north-western Cappadocia metropolis of Cappadocia Tertia, giving it the name of Justinianopolis. Nothing else is known of its history, and its name should perhaps be written Mocessus. There is no doubt that the site of Mocissus, or Mocessus, is that which is occupied by the modern city of Kırşehir. It figured in the Notitiæ episcopatuum until the 12th or 13th century.
  • Uğur Mumcu, investigative journalist
  • Nezaket Ekici, artist
  • Muharrem Ertaş, folk musician
  • Şemsi Yastıman, folk musician
  • Neşet Ertaş, folk poet
  • Ahi Evren, preacher – died in Kırşehir
  • Caca Bey, astronomer
  • Asik Pasa, preacher, Turkish poet

Şeyh Edebali: He was born in 1208 in İnaç Village of Mucur district of Kırşehir province. He is the father-in-law of Osman Bey, the founder of the Ottoman Empire. His real name is Mustafa. His tag, İmadüddin Mustafa b. Abraham b. It is İnac el- Kırşehri. After completing his primary education in Kırşehir, he went to Damascus. After completing his education on hadith, fiqh, tafsir, the Qur’an and mysticism, he returned to Kırşehir. He established a lodge in Bilecik. He died in 1348 at the age of 125. His tomb is in Bilecik. Osman Gazi, the material founder of the Ottoman Empire, was Sheikh Edebali, the spiritual founder. His will to Osman Gazi and his will to Osman Gazi’s son Orhan Gazi are a beautiful expression of the Ahilik philosophy that formed the leaven of the Ottoman Empire. Sheikh Edebali, who is the leader of the Ahi, is also the first kadi and mufti of the Ottoman Empire.

KIR-SHEHER, the chief town of a sanjak of the same name in the Angora vilayet of Asia Minor, situated on a tributary of the Kizil Irmak (Halys), on the Angora-Kaisarieh road. It is on the line of the projected railway from Angora to Kaisarieh. The town gives its name to the excellent carpets made in the vicinity. On the outskirts there is a hot chalybeate spring. Population about 9000 (700 Christians, mostly Armenians). Kir-sheher represents the ancient Mocissus, a small town which became important in the Byzantine period: it was enlarged by the emperor Justinian, who re-named it Justinianopolis, and made it the capital of a large division of Cappadocia, a position it still retains.
