In their own interests the 19th and 20th centuries, Central Asia , the Middle East created the concept Despite the western Atlantic powers, the ancient thousands of years that until the old-time reality Mediterrane (Mediterranean) and Zhongguo (China), the meaning of those so-called Middle Earth ‘is.
The Center of the World, the rare island of the Mediterranean, Cyprus, with its location holding the center of the Cradle of Civilizations, has a global potential as a treasure of ideas of the Basin.
The comparative advantage of Cyprus is its location and opportunity as an island of ideas, a paradise for contemplation, and a center for the production of high-value ideas.
It is extremely important that European philosophy from the continents surrounding the Mediterranean cannot be grasped without the developmental process that took place elsewhere and passed to Europe. The beginnings of the development of Western philosophy lie in the region that the Hellenes called the Orient (Anatole). The first center here was Miletos. Thales, Anaximandros and Anaximenes became the first philosophers of the history of philosophy with their intellectual activity and the problems they addressed.
The second and main center was in Europe: Athens. However, the third center right after that, Alexandria (Alexandria), is again outside the borders of Europe in Egypt, and the next one, Baghdad, is a little deeper in the Orient. Source: Elmar Holenstein, Atlas of Philosophy, Spaces and Ways of Thinking, June 2015, Istanbul, Küre Publications
Cyprus, located in the middle of the Miletus-Alexandria-Baghdad triangle; It is in a position to reproduce the Minor Asia-Greater Asia-Africa intellectual heritage.
Cyprus has started to accumulate an important intellectual infrastructure for years by providing education to the students of the countries in the triangle in question at the universities on the island. Starting from the coming years, targeting the world’s first place in intellectual activities of this accumulation should be put on the agenda.
Our knowledge shows that the mental conditions for philosophizing began in Africa. The most important contribution of the African continent to philosophy is the ability to speak. Having the ability to speak means that a person has the cognitive ability to not only understand but also reveal every philosophy that has developed since the Axial Age 2500 years ago. Early humans, who spread from Africa to the whole world between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago, carried this ability with them. Source: Elmar Holenstein, Atlas of Philosophy, Spaces and Ways of Thinking, June 2015
Cyprus, where Time and Grounds intersect, will bring out a universal Mind from the treasure of these intersections and will make it available to all humanity.
Despite the European Hegenomy, which only achieved dominance for 500 years by using external resources that did not belong to it; Mathematics and rationality of Asia Minor, symbolized by Miletus; Diophantus mathematics symbolized by Alexandria, Pythagorean wisdom (sophia) and Harezmi mathematics symbolized by Baghdad, wisdom of Beytül Hikme; In the Center of the World, Cyprus, the Afrasia Millennium, which has emerged from its own resources since the beginning of the 21st century, is preparing to take its place in history as the 3rd Millennium. The richness of thought of Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Transoxiana is being reshaped on the island of Cyprus.
All innovations (paper, printing press, gunpowder, compass) to Europe were carried from Greater Asia by the Silk Road and the Iron Silk Road, which will be operational from 2035, will connect the New Mediterranean (Pacific Ocean) with the Cyprus-based Mediterranean. While Asia Minor Turkey was woven with iron nets in 1935s, a century later, 2035s will be the beginning of a new era, the Silk Road Age, in which Greater Asia will connect the oceans with railways.
In the early ages, the ancient Greek civilization emerged from the Mediterranean Civilization, which was common among the nations living on the Mediterranean coast, which was formed with the help of the Egyptians, Sumerians, Hittites, Assyrians and Phoenicians, and the ancient Roman civilization from the Greek civilization. After it was divided into two as Eastern Rome and Western Rome, the Europeans, who were the heirs of Western Rome, adopted this civilization and advanced it. Source: Ziya Gökalp, Principles of Turkism, Ministry of National Education Press, 1st Edition. Istanbul 1976, p. 48. 132 Ibid. NS. 136
Eastern Rome, on the other hand, was continued as the Seljuk and then the Ottoman Empires by the Turks, who stretched from Far Asia to Asia Minor, with the victories of 1071 and 1453. Thus, the Mediterranean Civilization, as a unique civilization with many components, has thousands of years of history and dynamic interactions.
Skopje (Macedonia), where Turkish culture is extremely strong as in Cyprus, is the birthplace of Yahya Kemal Beyatlı, one of the greatest poets and intellectuals of Turkish poetry. Yahya Kemal, who sees his geography within the Mediterranean civilization basin, strives to reach the universal, especially through this thesis. He realistically determined the borders (misak-ı milli) and then the milestone (1071 and 1453) of the homeland, from which he claimed to have been created as an indivisible whole by the religion and the nation, and included it in the European civilization through the Mediterranean basin with a final effort. Of course, while establishing this synthesis, he takes care not to overlap with any doctrine, theory, and not to construct theories that will impose responsibility on himself.“The homeland is never a theory, it is a land. Soil is the tomb of the ancestors. It is where mosques are built. Industry is the exhibition of what has been done in the name of nafise (Fine Arts).” Source: Kadrican Mendi, Yahya Kemal’s Politics
“The reflection of Yahya Kemal; It is on the line of Vienna, Budin, Belgrade, Istanbul, Baghdad, Basra. Yahya Kemal Bey’s reflective side is also important; It has prose style writings.” Source: Ömer Tuğrul İnanç

“ URDU is spoken in the north-west of India and Pakistan. This language is close to the language of the Asian Turks who came from the north. It is originally an ORDU language and has been mixed with Persian and Hindi over time. Place names may also have changed. Because Indian culture is unique and has adapted the names to their own pronunciation.” Haluk Berkmen

It is understood from his letters that Bîrûnî knew Aristotle . Working with important scholars such as Ibn Sînâ , Birûnî went to India many times. That’s why he wrote a book on India. This book of his has been translated into several languages. This book, which has been translated into several languages, has set an example for many scholars. Birûni also has one novel.
Kitâb’üt-Tahkîk Mâ li’l-Hind: Bîrûnî, who also wrote a book on Indian history, described the superstitions, beliefs, lifestyles and customs and traditions that the Indians believed in in great detail, and while doing this, he acted completely impartially and away from prejudices.
——————————————-
Indian travel books have a special place in our literature. Al-Biruni’s Indian Travel Book is the work accepted even by the eminent scholar Hindus, who became eternal in the history of the East, and that even Nehru lauded. Al-Biruni, who is fluent in Persian and Arabic, even learned Sanskrit for India. The information he gave aside; He is the man who uses some of the knowledge that remains within the borders of this country and transfers his science to the Eastern world. (Medium)

Walter Ruben (hindologist)
As in the whole of his intellectual adventure, he sometimes complains about not being able to find his reader and not being understood during this sensitive work. But this world, where he invites everyone, is the homeland of freedom of thought. “Indian”, says Meriç, “because it is a country that gives a voice to every faith, it has become my second homeland. In this book there is the whole Indian with his dreams and his reality… that is, the whole human being.”
“The book written by a Turkish intellectual, Halide Edip, on India in the 1930s; in other words, “Inside India” had a great impact in its time. This book about the necessity of Muslim India is still discussed and is a well-known classic. Halide Hanım stayed long in India. He gave lectures at institutions such as Aligarh Islamic College. He made friends with all the great Indian intellectuals of the time. The report he wrote is considered one of the main works that point to the future of the country.” http://www.

Within Turkey inside, there are two regions which look like to Canton province of China.
First is Thrace region connecting Turkey to go to Europe so this is this is mainly plane plane ticket today and there is the transfer European motorbike TEM connecting connecting took you to your destinations so in the end and interest rates and there are alsoBut I also text Aylılıç and say leather factories and then all kinds of light industrial productions that Europe is demanding the products so the shipments bye-bye truck is very speedy say through Çay through Bulgaria Romania hungry then you press to Austria and Germany were directly so sorry also more than 50% of turkey experts are destined to do European union this is very important fact so unlike China turkey is more connected to You are up north to the US UK and Germany Italy and France they are the top export markets for 30 bucks turkey turkey.
And further the second reason is it looking like Canton promise is in insults insults this isIn eastern Mediterranean region the port city of Maxine Main container experts porch for containers to China to Asia may need to you’re a boy is well and then Maxine is in connection very close to Atlanta city which is very like Canton it is very humid and hot city but it is the area of cotton so or not it is Montana’s however there are two Rivers inside and it is very industrial base with İn and Ava culture of the base is well the other night city and text other city is it so amazing I don’t know I’m Gracian tip line is very dynamic their dynamic activity area for the containers for the shipments did the goods produced in in case Siri what is cities and Kahraman cities as well I’m in insight Center alone I told you I’m done I’m Tyler regionAntalya region is getting close to Maxim and the production and other city all shipments all good collect it from these from the factories and from the pills in the cities are distance for export so so finally we may conclude that for the road transport to Europe 30 surgeon is very basic and Turkey connecting turkey to Europe and secondly do it in the south eastern Mediterranean region around Mac’s in Port cityThese are destined for shipments all over the world to Europe to Asia to Africa you say to Africa is very close as well Maxine city to North Africa cities in Libya Tunisia and Algeria they are very very close also Italy France Spain and they are very close also from Maxim and to the passing through the Swiss canal channel so the shipments are the best thing for Asia Pacific markets not.
Investment Case: Soda Ash by China
No technology and investment is very important in Turkey’s products is one of the top 10 items in the world and China Inn introduced credit line and a technology for the establishment of factories factories in one in Kazan town and the other is in by Pass liquor town in capital city on Krieg countryside so this is natural mine so now million is has the capacity for sodas for turkey and this is even evenEven shipped it to China this is very crucial for the world market and so that is introduced in textiles in in detergent in mining in food in variety of industries so you switch is very diversified diversified so this is good for the market coverage and penetration and distribution.
Turkey: South Eastern Europe Country
Turkey is so soft is it eastern Europe country and it is similar to in this respect to South East Asia because also answer key is also surrounded by buy the season like South East Asia like south east Asia has connections with many parts in Asia Pacific Lykos Australia Japan Korea ChinaAnd turkey also has direct flights relations with the European Union with Middle East with Russia Iran and Africa eastern Mediterranean countries you see many regions so chunky is like a horse in the in the legends entering into into Europe Asia and Africa continent three continents mainly so maybe I’ll read all these aspects fromFrom the market penetration view and understanding.
I am against similar point is that China has historical ties in south Asia and south east Asian countries say in Indonesia Malaysia Philippines Vietnam Cambodia Laos China community is there who hold economic power and power in these countries are there is a Chinese corn inside these markets and states and in the same way (tercüme) also has hisHistorical and cultural ties ties say in the south east Europe in bulk and say Romania Moldova then ask Yugoslavia countries like Grassia Montenegro Bosnia Slovenia Kosova as well and bless plus hungry and Slovakia and in Eastern Europe again this historical ties are valid say in Poland Lithuania Latvia Lithuania and includingSweden on top so these Eastern Europe and south eastern Europe countries has definitely been a strong ties and this is and this is also our village inn in North Africa like Algeria miracle Tunisia Egypt and then in in Sudan as well plus in the Middle East in Iran Syria Iraq Lebanon and Israel Jordan Palestine and Saudi ArabiaAnd the golf camp for them plus connections stands because I stand stand stand stand Afghanistan Mongolia all these connections ties with China is the sensor for the eastern Asian turkey is the Center for West end south east Europe and then the other regions around five C’s say Lexi Mediterranean right see Caspian Sea and then golf so golf so.
So the cooperation between China and is mainly based on silk Road Road where to be connected to the sub regions all by China site and cite the sub regional centers for business development and industrial development development may happen in all these wide areas and more is tax and Chinese the ties and then they know each other very well they are not they are not for foreigners for themselves they have their knowledgeBy BYOYO bilateral.
