A few weeks ago while looking through our library's set of Ibrahim Hakki Konyah's popular periodical Tarih Hazinesi, with its lavish photographs of important material, I chanced on the reproduction of a nishān of 815/1412, one of the illustrations accompanying an article on the Turkish State Archives (vol. i, no. 5, issue of 15 January 1951, p. 238).

The Relationship

Abstract The Turkish-Russian relations have been being built for a long period of time. These relations of two neighboring empires were complex and can be characterized as by the chain of wars as well as by good neighborly relations in peacetime. Both formed the image of the neighboring power reflected in the historical records. This article aims the analyses of the Turkish archival documents which let single out the image of the Russian state and its transformation through the different periods of state-to-state relationships. As the basis of the classification for the creating of the overall image of Russia the following categories were assumed: the name of the state, the names for the ethnic groups, the form of address to the governor, the relationship to the ambassadors, border location, wars between two countries, peace treatments, the trade and the general idea about Russia. Correspondingly, the foreword and nine parts describing the above-mentioned categories can be marked out in the work. The records of the Turkish State Archives have served as the source basis for the work. Neither historical publications nor diplomatic correspondence were used in the research.

Depth Interviews

For decades the authoritarian secularist policies of the Turkish state, by imposing a headscarf ban at universities and in the civil service, excluded practising Muslim women from the public sphere until the reforms following 2010. However, Muslim women had continued to seek ways to increase their knowledge and improve their intellectual levels, not only as individuals, but also by establishing civil associations. As a result, a group of intellectual women has emerged who are not only educated in political, social, and economic issues, but who are also determined to attain their socio-economic and political rights. Those new actors in the Turkish public sphere are, however, concerned with being labeled as either “feminist,” “fundamentalist” or “Islamist.” This article therefore analyzes the distance between the self-identifications of intellectual Muslim women and certain classifications imposed on them. Semi-structured in-depth interviews with thirteen Turkish intellectual Muslim women were carried out which reveal that they reject and critique overly facile labels due to their negative connotations while offering more complex insights into their perspectives on Muslim women, authority, and identity.

From containment and rollback to escalation: Turkey’s Kurdish issue under the AKP

Kurdish Issue

This article will argue that the meetings between Turkey and the Kurdistan Workers Party PKK between 2006-2015 were employed by the Turkish state to gain advantage in the conflict they were supposed to be aimed at resolving. This appraisal of the PKK-Turkey talks thus helps to explain the escalation in the summer of 2015 - as the result, that is, not of a failed process of negotiations but of a failed intelligence operation.
