Hun Turks

XiongNu (Hun) period sites in Mongolia and China.

Huns were scattered all over Eurasia namely in Mongolia, China, Northern India, Southern Russia and hearth of Europe.

The natural defense line that the Huang Ho river made an inverted U was not enough; they could only stop the HUN raids with the Great Wall of China.

The Turks, who reached the shores of the Atlantic with the European Hun Empire of Attila, reached the shores of the PACIFIC during the period of Göktürk Empire and Bilge Tonyukuk.

Aren’t the geographies and museums of Mongolia and Inner Mongolia (China) particularly valuable in terms of Hun and Gokturk works ?

The Roman Empire and the Han Empire around AD 1.

You may add HUN Empire in between simulaneously.

HUN gary

Our dominance on the Silk Road started with the Huns. We fought for it for 2000 years with the Chinese on the plains of Ordos. There are 962 references to the enemy that Sun Tzu (500 BC) mentioned in his book The Art of War, and that enemy is the Hun Turks.

Turks, who were also merchants in ancient times, lived on the Silk Road with the principles that regulated their commercial life and traded with ROME.

The Huns, starting from the Göktürks, are Turks, merchants and have taken the Silk Road under control.

The “trader Turk” controlled the Silk Road and built empires.

When deer migrated south and west in Far Asia, the Huns followed suit. First migration.

Psychobiography of Aliya İzetbegoviç

by Professor Erol Göka

ALIYA, EVERY PASSING DAY WE WILL MUCH MORE COMPREHEND YOU

Child of human time… The first determiner of our fate, at which time of history of humanity desired that we say hello to the world… In the same vein, we are born into a tradition, a language which attends to a geographical area.

These are among the great determiners of our fate. Biological structure, our family who knows maybe we inherited our psychological structure, as children of whose coming into the world is from the roots of our fate which is never beyond our control…

I said that “Our family who knows maybe we inherited our psychological structure” because recent research shows that probably half of the constituents that make up our personality are genetically determined. We receive our habit, our temperament from the genetic pool of our parents.

The role of the family in the formation of our psychology, in the contraction of our personality is not limited to this. The first years of our childhood and the family environment we spend these years, the joys and the sadness of the family, the strength as well as the weaknesses of family bonds, are also very important.

Thanks to the genetic material on hand as well as these factors, almost all foundations of our psychology, our personality is laid. What kind of person we will be, our characteristic properties are determined in the family environment we live in.

We now know well what Aliya Izetbegovic’s political march is, where, when, what he says as well as what he does. Until now, we have dealt with his magnificent personality traits, the elegance of his Muslimism formed in European history and geography as well as a socialist cultural climate.

We have emphasized that he saw himself primarily as a person and owned everyone’s endeavor that has thought and has labored for humanity from the West and the East, at the same time, he tied to address not only to Muslim Bosnians, but to all Yugoslavia, to the Islamic world and to humanity.

We are now going to try to show the robustness of these features by going to the bases of the personality that it is incoincident, and we will now focus on the harmony between what he lives and what he says.

In one way, we will make an effort to find the fate line which is the admirable journey for all of us.

The Turks and Colours

by Assoc. Dr. Cihat Yaycı, Head of Turkish DegsTÜRKDEGS LOGO

27.10.2021

Turks have always expressed the directions with colors. Therefore, they named the seas with colors according to their directions.

At the moment, there is another Black Sea other than our Black Sea. In case you don’t know, I will talk about this Black Sea.

http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/karasea.htm

The name of the region between Novaya Zemiya island and Severnaya Zemyla islands in the north of Russia is Kara Sea (Kara Sea). This place is registered as Kara Sea on Turkish maps in order not to mix with the Black Sea. On English maps, it is indicated as “Black Sea”.

The Turks name the aways with Colors and the Sea with the Colors according to their directions

I would also like to give information about why these seas are called the Black Sea and the Black Sea.

As you know, directions were named with colors in old Turkish culture. Accordingly, the color of the east was sky, the color of the west was white, the color of the north was black, and the color of the south was red.

According to Prof. Dr.M. Fahrettin Kırzıoğlu’s research titled “Dede Korkut Oğuznameleri”, the Turks who came and settled in the Caucasus region in the first years of AD, named the seas around them according to their culture. Therefore, they named the sea in the north as “the Black Sea lying opposite”, the lake in the east as “Gökçe lake”, the sea in the west as the Mediterranean Sea, and the sea in the south as the Red Sea.

The whole world used the place names in this region either with their original names or the translations of these names in their own language. For example, Europeans call the Mediterranean the “Mediterranean Sea”. The Arabs, on the other hand, translate the name Mediterranean into Arabic and call it Bahr-i Sefid (Mediterranean). The Black Sea and the Red Sea are also called the English Black Sea and Red Sea.

The Turks’ naming of directions with colors has passed on to other nations. This is also the case with Russians, who have been greatly influenced by Turkish culture. The Russians to the west of Moscow are called Belarus (White Rus). As you know, in Russian, Bela-Belaya means white.

After the Battle of the Commander-in-Chief, which ended on August 30, 1922, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk sent the army on September 1, 1922 for the Great Offensive, “Armies! Your first target is the Mediterranean, forward!” gives the order. Our armies do not go towards Antalya, but towards İzmir, that is, towards the west. This shows that even then, the meaning of the word “ak” was widely known.

Although we have now forgotten the directional meanings of the names black, red, white, and sky, we call the wind blowing from the north “black wind”, but we do not even know why it is a black wind.

Let’s not forget what a deep-rooted history and language we have, and that we have historical traces almost everywhere in the world. Let’s be proud to be a member of the Great Turkish Nation. Our best response to those who try to humiliate us and create distrust of ourselves is to research, read and tell our history.

Sait Başer and Turkish Muslim

by Professor Erol Göka
Apr 26, 2018 | Essay, Newspaper Article | 0 |
Under the title of “Turkish-Islamic Synthesis”, the topics were discussed so much and badly in the smog of September 12 that both obstructed vision and smelled bad! Many opportunities were wasted…
The writings of Sait Başer, who approached the issue with the title of “Turkish Islam” and finally his books “Kök Tengri” (1991), “Turkish Islam in Yahya Kemal” (2005) had a very different view from their previous counterparts. Başer, who started a theoretical cadastral study within the framework of the concepts of “reason”, “belief”, “meaning”, “interpretation”, “recognition and learning”, “language, art, history and mind” in his work “Understanding the Social Mind” (2006) increasingly rested on solid ground. He set out to decipher the codes of the “Turkish mind”, which has permeated the language, the Turkish language, just as Mohammed Abid Al-Jabiri tried to do in “The Formation of the Arab Mind”.
Maturity has revealed her works in the books “On the Turkish Understanding and Belief Model” (2011) “Understanding Crisis” (2017), “Lost Yurdun Inside” (2017), “Selam Say” (2017). Thanks to the Hodja, it is now possible to discuss and discuss the concept of “Turkish Islam” under the context and titles of belief and understanding, history and language, in a way that is more liberated from hostility and oriented towards the truth.
Those who are aware of our “Turkish Group Behavior” and “Psychology of Turks” studies will easily understand that we experience a similar and many times greater feeling in front of Başer Hodja’s work, just as we were excited while reading Sabri Ülgener Hodja, who tries to display our social economic mentality. They will tolerate the haste in our effort to read and learn and convey what he wrote.
In his view, for example, “The classical Turkish-Islamic approach, which sits on the Hanafi-Maturidi-Yesevi trivet, has suffered a great loss in its ability to understand, due to a stumbling block caused by mistaking the socio-cultural basis of Arab understanding as Islam. Thought was replaced by a ‘life of worship whose wisdom is not questioned’. The collective memory of Turkishness has been suspended to a great extent, as understanding is shaped by the subject, and therefore within the context of the society’s own experience, language and culture.
The ‘old man faith’ formulated by al-Ghazali was exalted. While ‘obedience to the great’ command at all costs strengthened the central authority, the alternative individuality of understanding was rendered dysfunctional. While the central authority was strengthened, the obedient community became accepted, not the people who understood and produced. What was wanted was muti teb’a and the people’s name was ‘agniya-i şakirin ve fukara-ı sabirin’ (the grateful rich and the patient poor)” You may have many objections to the statement.
Again, for example, “Unfortunately, the Indian Nakshism, which entered our life in Sufism in addition to the Arab Ash’arism in the theological sense, integrated like an integral part of each other. This integration fed the understanding of religion=worship and obedience mentioned above” (Lost Yurdun Inci, p.19-20) may drive you mad.
I have my own criticisms of this view. But wait, whatever your feelings are, it shouldn’t prevent you from taking your hat off and taking it into your archive, mostly for the first time in our history of thought, between Baser Hodja’s understanding and belief and language.
Language can ultimately be traced back to the first moment of the word, and the importance of origins, etymology, and cross-cultural encounters becomes apparent. Başer Hoca is the master of exactly these works and this kind of thinking. That’s why “our Turkish, oh our beautiful Turkish!” he stops.
According to Sait Başer, the trademark of the Turkish mentality is that reason, emotion and belief, understanding and belief never contradict each other. Başer, who argues that the word “believing” comes from the Sanskrit word ‘inana’ and states that this word means knowledge. He joins Z. Eyüpoğlu.
Likewise, the word “understanding”, derived from the root ANG-, has root meanings such as remembering, memory, and limit. “Understanding means to analyze and limit the problem area that the subject is dealing with by looking at all the conditions and acquis, all the processes and context through which the subject passes” (Understanding the Social Mind, p.59-60).
It is quite natural for Hodja to have different interpretations of meaning according to different situations and historical conditions, and again, its source and proof is language. For this reason, it seems more correct to use the verb ‘to interpret’ in Turkish as a further phase of understanding because of its meanings such as ‘to walk’: explaining an event, idea, dream, meaning, advancing, directing, guiding…. says. Başer argues that what he says about meaning and interpretation is also valid for “creation”, based on the analysis of the syphilis in our language (Understanding the Social Mind, p. 82, 84)… We will continue, insha’Allah.

Turks in History and their Stamps.

Sep 11, 2014 | Newspaper Article, Culture

Scientific experimentation never leaves the researcher behind. The subjects that once came to his mind as a question, the areas that he focused on, are with him even in his dreams. Do not look at the fact that we keep writing about different subjects, especially about politics, our minds are always on the issues related to psychological health, scientific questions that we are looking for answers to.

Who knows, we have been researching the basic behavior patterns of people whose mother tongue is Turkish, and the motives that have guided their behavior throughout history, under the name of “Turkish group behavior” or “psychology of Turks” for years. This extensive research area has led us to put forward many theses and produce articles and books to date. Apart from the main books “Turkish Group Behavior” and “Psychology of Turks”, our books “Seven Heifers: Leadership and Fanaticism in Turks” and “The Nomadic Spirit of the Turk” were published. Our study, which examines kinship and male-female relations in Turks, has been on our table for a long time, waiting for us to look up from the busy agenda and take care of it.

Examining the psychological characteristics of a large ethnic community like the Turks requires great responsibilities as well as precautions. For example, it is necessary to determine the boundaries of the working areas very carefully, not to violate the borders, to work without falling into tribal traps and without even dusting their impartiality. In order to reveal the behavior patterns of a community throughout history, based on the knowledge revealed in the humanities up to now, the most primordial beliefs of that community, in writing or in words, with space, money and goods, weapons, genders, self, other cultures and We came to the conclusion that it is necessary to examine their relations with civilizations. In our work, we have tried to clarify these issues in relation to the Turks.

Based on the researches, we have shown that the influence of the old beliefs of the Turks is still strong in all areas. In addition to these, the potlaç culture, which is more important than money, was also very effective in the community psychology of the Turks, who have an oral culture and a deep-rooted nomadic past. Contrary to popular belief, the Turks appeared as a warrior community that did not show obvious male-dominated and racist features, had the characteristics of tolerance and permeability towards those who were not their own. We have written at length these results and their justifications in our work.

As Aydın, we have been separated from our field of scientific study due to our duties and the support we need to give to the struggle for a New Turkey. But our readings, classifications, and note-taking always continued. While listening to people and their families who applied for help due to our profession, we did not leave the horizon stemming from our own scientific passion.

I have used all these words in order to talk about a book that I have been very excited about lately, like a novel we love so much that we do not want it to end, that I read every page with care and awe. From the book of Sociologist Mustafa Aksoy’s giant work written in English-Turkish, “Silent Language of History, Stamps”… We had already known and appreciated this great scientist with his modest work, whose awareness was limited to a narrow circle, but now he has produced such a work that I think the academy And she will no longer be able to keep her silence against him.

Aksoy defines himself as a cultural sociologist. We are hesitant because of the vast definition of the concept of “culture” that has not yet been agreed upon. We think that it is more appropriate to consider all human sciences dating back to the past as a sub-branch of the science of history. For example, our work should be called “historical psychology” and Aksoy’s should be called “historical sociology”.

The book in our hands is gigantic in its dimensions. Aksoy seems to have had to choose these dimensions in order to include the English text, to include photographs of material cultural elements with stamps that provide evidence for his theses, and to include a detailed bibliography. But he did well, with these dimensions, the book also had a pleasant visual effect that doubled the reading pleasure. These gigantic dimensions are important in that the book symbolizes the difficulty of traveling every inch of the relevant geographies and carrying out fieldwork on site, which lasted for 18 years. We have a work in front of us that everyone who respects labor will stand for applause.

The stamps that are the subject of the study are not the stamps that the Turks left on the course of history, but maybe they are just as important. Tombstones, rock paintings, carpets-rugs, outer walls of houses, figures on horse harnesses, which are probably the first building blocks of the alphabet of a nomadic-animal society… Aksoy has tried to decipher the secret language of these shapes, which are one of the foundations of steppe Turkish culture. Let’s continue Sunday by informing the curious that they can get information about the book and Aksoy from www.mustafaaksoy.com.
