"Inside Out In Istanbul" is a collection of short stories about life in Istanbul by author Lisa Morrow. Lisa first went to Turkey in 1990, where she stayed in the small village of Göreme for three months during the Gulf War. Since that time she has travelled back and forth between Turkey and Australia many times, living and working in Istanbul and Kayseri in central Turkey, before finally settling for good in Istanbul. The stories in this collection take you beyond the world famous sights of Istanbul to the shores of Asia, to an Istanbul that is vibrantly alive with the sounds of street vendors, wedding parties, weekly markets and more. Come behind the tourist façades and venture deep into this sometimes chaotic, often schizophrenic but always charming city.
Download or read book Judgment At Istanbul written by Vahakn N. Dadrian and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turkey’s bid to join the European Union has lent new urgency to the issue of the Armenian Genocide as differing interpretations of the genocide are proving to be a major reason for the delay of the its accession. This book provides vital background information and is a prime source of legal evidence and authentic Turkish eyewitness testimony of the intent and the crime of genocide against the Armenians. After a long and painstaking effort, the authors, one an Armenian, the other a Turk, generally recognized as the foremost experts on the Armenian Genocide, have prepared a new, authoritative translation and detailed analysis of the Takvim-i Vekâyi, the official Ottoman Government record of the Turkish Military Tribunals concerning the crimes committed against the Armenians during World War I. The authors have compiled the documentation of the trial proceedings for the first time in English and situated them within their historical and legal context. These documents show that Wartime Cabinet ministers, Young Turk party leaders, and a number of others inculpated in these crimes were court-martialed by the Turkish Military Tribunals in the years immediately following World War I. Most were found guilty and received sentences ranging from prison with hard labor to death. In remarkable contrast to Nuremberg, the Turkish Military Tribunals were conducted solely on the basis of existing Ottoman domestic penal codes. This substitution of a national for an international criminal court stands in history as a unique initiative of national self-condemnation. This compilation is significantly enhanced by an extensive analysis of the historical background, political nature and legal implications of the criminal prosecution of the twentieth century’s first state-sponsored crime of genocide.

Download or read book Istanbul Istanbul written by Burhan Sönmez and published by OR Books. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Istanbul, Istanbul turns on the tension between the confines of a prison cell and the vastness of the imagination; between the vulnerable borders of the body and the unassailable depths of the mind. This is a harrowing, riveting novel, as unforgettable as it is inescapable.” —Dale Peck, author of Visions and Revisions “A wrenching love poem to Istanbul told between torture sessions by four prisoners in their cell beneath the city. An ode to pain in which Dostoevsky meets The Decameron.” —John Ralston Saul, author of On Equilibrium; former president, PEN International “Istanbul is a city of a million cells, and every cell is an Istanbul unto itself.” Below the ancient streets of Istanbul, four prisoners—Demirtay the student, the doctor, Kamo the barber, and Uncle Küheylan—sit, awaiting their turn at the hands of their wardens. When they are not subject to unimaginable violence, the condemned tell one another stories about the city, shaded with love and humor, to pass the time. Quiet laughter is the prisoners’ balm, delivered through parables and riddles. Gradually, the underground narrative turns into a narrative of the above-ground. Initially centered around people, the book comes to focus on the city itself. And we discover there is as much suffering and hope in the Istanbul above ground as there is in the cells underground. Despite its apparently bleak setting, this novel—translated into seventeen languages—is about creation, compassion, and the ultimate triumph of the imagination.

Book excerpt: On 2 October 2018, Saudi-royal courtier and writer Jamal Khashoggi was trapped by his palace peers into entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Once there, he was killed in cold blood in the consul-general's library in one of the world's most infamous conspiracies of the twenty-first century. His body was dismembered by palace officials in fifteen parts and packed into five suitcases that were left at the consul-general's home.

Book excerpt: Seven days in Istanbul: An ugly love, a beautiful revolution and a delayed suicide... All the youth of Istanbul came back to the streets with great eagerness for changing the world. The gray walls of Turkey are eroded by the revolution wind. And a young man by name Tunch prepares to kill himself in a suburb of Istanbul. As the children of this city are falling on earth from the high trees, Tunch, the main character of this novel, goes back to the suburb where he grew up, and comes to the abandoned flat of his uncle who committed to suicide in his young age. He goes out the balcony with the thoughts in his mind that only he can understand. Just as his uncle Demir did, he whips a long rope around his neck, goes close to the balcony barriers, looks into the depth of a coal black mouth that waits for him on the street. The ones who are going to read this novel will hear the screams of the young bodies who got tired carrying the heavy wooden of the revolution on their little shoulders; and the ones are going to see the people who could not remove the seeds of death that are sprinkled in their minds in even the most beautiful days of Istanbul; and the readers are going to listen to the flutters of some people who know they must die, but can die in no way. Tunch is going to learn how to love someone. He is going to fall in love with a young woman, named Nar, in the middle of the revolution. Nar is a girl who knows she must be dead just like him. This young woman is going to see the hole of death in Tunch's eyes, and will invite him to the Suicide School. As Tunch will attend the lessons with Nar together, the state will be on another kind of job. The state as usual will seek ways to restrain the youth's freedom desires. But which state? The state, that has its origins in the Seljuq Empire, now is broken into pieces in itself once again. The state, that has revealed itself as a double-head eagle since the nomad Turkish people revolted against the Seljuq Empire in 1240's, has already lost its bearings. The state has no ruler, but has lots of suitors. In this chaos, will the public get beat up once again? What about the young people? Will they get what they want after all? What is Tunch going to do in this freedom fight? Will he die or kill? Or else, is he going to bang the secret nail of Istanbul, that is resigned him? Different questions pushing each other in his mind: "As soon as realizing that I can take a breath again, some questions are being obsessed in my mind. All those I've lived in few days are fated? I continuously look for a clue. Should I have joined the rebellion of this youth to die? Was Nar sent for coming along with me on that cursed way of death? Why is this Istanbul, where I have always lived with a heavy heart, becoming so entertaining and cheerful for me now? At the very time the death starts to draw the lines of my weak body that much sharply..."

Download or read book Turkey s Necropolitical Laboratory written by Bargu Banu Bargu and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes a strong case that Turkey's regime and its vicissitudes are dependent on a necropolitical undercurrent. Building on the insights of critical and contemporary theory, the essays address the multiple ways in which lives are brought into the fold of power. Once there, they are subjected to mechanisms of death and destruction, and to modalities of infrastructural violence, strategic neglect and exposure. This produces new forms of impoverishment, inequality and disposability. Bringing together historical, discursive, and ethnographic approaches from multiple disciplines, this collection offers a sobering and original analysis of contemporary Turkey.
