Istanbul war über Jahrtausende ein «Mosaik der Völker». Doch die nationalistische Staatsideologie der modernen Türkei leugnete die kulturelle Vielfalt. Aber es gibt eine Gegenbewegung: Menschen, die das multikulturelle Erbe der Stadt wiederbeleben wollen. Die historische Strassenbahn bimmelt auf der Flaniermeile Istiklal Caddesi an armenischen und griechischen Stadtpalästen vorbei. Wer sich umschaut, findet überall in der Bosporus-Stadt Zeugnisse der multikulturellen Vergangenheit. Doch die moderne Türkei verstand sich als Einheitsstaat: «Glücklich, wer ein Türke ist». So der Leitsatz von Republikgründer Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Bis heute sind die nationalistischen Strömungen in der Türkei stark. «International» begegnet Menschen, die genug haben von politischer Polarisierung und die multi-ethnische Tradition dieser Stadt auf zwei Kontinenten für sich neu entdecken. Can Evrensel Rodrik ist fasziniert vom jüdischen Erbe. Er gibt Kurse in der Sprache der sephardischen Juden Istanbuls und schafft so eine Verbindung zur eigenen Herkunftskultur. Mehmet Ugur Korkmaz will mit seinem Podcast «Die Kurden sind in der Stadt» dazu beitragen, dass das «kurdische Istanbul» als Teil der Identität der türkischen Mittelmeer-Metropole wahrgenommen wird. Traditionen, Stimmen, Kulturen und verschiedene Epochen flössen am Bosporus ineinander, das fasziniere sie seit ihrer Kindheit, sagt Kübra Şenyaylar. Die Musikerin bringt die Istanbuler Vielstimmigkeit mit ihrem «Koro Istanbul» zum Klingen.

Fredy Gareis wurde in Kasachstan geboren und kam im Alter von zwei Jahren nach Deutschland. Mittlerweile ist er große Teile des Jahres auf Reisen und schreibt darüber in Büchern wie „100 Gramm Wodka“, „König der Hobos“ und „Vier Räder, Küche, Bad“. Nach Beginn des russischen Angriffskriegs auf die Ukraine beschloss Fredy Gareis, die Länder an der östlichen Grenze der EU und der NATO zu bereisen. Er reiste mit dem Zug, per Anhalter und zu Fuß von Kirkenes bis an den Bosporus, von der Arktis bis nach Istanbul. Er wollte selbst sehen, „wie es den Menschen geht, die Russland als direkten Nachbarn haben und mehr Erfahrung mit Besatzung besitzen“, und wie sie mit der neuen Situation umgehen. Hier erzählt er von einigen dieser besonderen Menschen, denen er begegnet ist – darunter ein Komponist aus der Slowakei, der ein großer Putin-Fan ist und seine Dienste anbieten wollte, sowie eine 96-jährige Frau, die im Alter von 13 Jahren in ein Arbeitslager nach Sibirien verschleppt wurde. Auch die Geschichte seiner eigenen Familie fließt ein: Sowohl seine Mutter als auch seine Großmutter waren in Sibirien in Arbeitslagern inhaftiert. Auf der Suche nach Antworten und nach einem besseren Verständnis seiner eigenen Geschichte reiste Fredy Gareis selbst nach Russland und Kasachstan.

fWotD Episode 3159: Moltke-class battlecruiser Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 28 December 2025, is Moltke-class battlecruiser.The Moltke class was a class of two "all-big-gun" battlecruisers of the German Imperial Navy built between 1909–1911. Named SMS Moltke and SMS Goeben, they were similar to the previous battlecruiser Von der Tann, but the newer design featured several incremental improvements. The Moltkes were slightly larger, faster, and better armored, and had an additional pair of 28 cm (11 in) guns.Both ships served during World War I. Moltke participated in several major battles with the rest of the High Seas Fleet, including the battles of Dogger Bank and Jutland in the North Sea, and the Battle of the Gulf of Riga and Operation Albion in the Baltic Sea. At the end of the war, Moltke was interned with the majority of the High Seas Fleet at Scapa Flow while the ships' fate was being discussed during peace treaty negotiations. The ships were scuttled on 21 June 1919 to prevent their seizure by the Allies.Goeben was stationed in the Mediterranean at the start of the war; she escaped from pursuing Royal Navy ships to Constantinople. The ship, along with the light cruiser Breslau, was transferred to the Ottoman Navy soon after arrival. Strategically, Goeben played a very important role: she helped bring the Ottoman Empire into the war as a member of the Central Powers, and by acting as a fleet in being the ship prevented Anglo-French attempts to force the Bosporus, and similarly stymied a possible advance by the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Goeben was retained by the new Turkish government after the war. Only slightly modified from her original configuration, the ship remained on active service with the Turkish Navy until being decommissioned on 20 December 1950; she was stricken from the Navy register on 14 November 1954. The ship was unsuccessfully offered for sale to the West German government in 1963. Without a group willing to preserve her as a museum, the ship was sold to M. K. E. Seyman in 1971 for scrapping. She was towed to the breakers on 7 June 1973, and the work was completed in February 1976.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:37 UTC on Sunday, 28 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Moltke-class battlecruiser on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Gregory.

Dass sich die westlichen Mächte in der durch Kolonialismus und Überlegenheitsgefühl geprägten Einschätzung vermeintlich weniger entwickelter Länder oftmals täuschten, thematisiert der heutige Artikel aus dem Hamburger Anzeiger vom 18. September. Galt vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg das Osmanische Reich als „Kranker Mann am Bosporus“ und China als ressourcenreiches Land, das sich mit einem geringen militärischen Aufwand kontrollieren ließe, so stellte sich das Kräfteverhältnis 1925 bereits anders dar. Der junge Staat Türkei rang mit den Engländern um die Vormachtstellung im heutigen Irak und China konnten die Kolonialmächte nicht mehr ihren Willen durch militärische Macht aufzwingen. Der Autor dieser Einschätzung der Lage ist Paul Rohrbach einer der meistgelesenen kolonial- und außenpolitischen Kommentatoren von Weimar. Er vertrat großdeutsche und kolonialistische Ziele für Deutschland und engagierte sich in der Akademie zur wissenschaftlichen Erforschung und Pflege des Deutschtums – ist also dem rechten Spektrum der politischen Landschaft zuzuordnen. Zugleich belegt seine Person aber, dass seine Ansichten trotz teilweiser ideologischer Überschneidung nicht automatisch in den Schoß der NSDAP führten. Rohrbach protestierte gegen die Machtübernahme und zog sich dann aus der Politik zurück. Es liest Frank Riede.

Wir springen in dieser Folge wieder mal an den Bosporus, und beschäftigen uns mit einer legendären Leibgarde am byzantinischen Hof. Ursprünglich gespeist aus skandinavischen Kriegern, war die Warägergarde aber vor allem auch Auffangbecken für jene, die aus ihrer alten Heimat flüchten mussten. Wir sprechen darüber, welche Aufgaben diese Einheit hatte, wie sich ihre Zusammensetzung über die Jahrhunderte veränderte und wie sie schließlich verschwand. // Erwähnte Folgen - GAG514: Anna Komnene – Prinzessin, Intellektuelle und Historikerin – https://gadg.fm/514 - GAG198: Olga von Kiew oder Mit den Spatzen kam der Tod – https://gadg.fm/198 - GAG414: Ibn Fadlān und die Reise zur Wolga – https://gadg.fm/414 - GAG211: Griechisches Feuer – https://gadg.fm/211 - GAG63: Konstantin und die Janitscharen – https://gadg.fm/63 - GAG191: Aethelfled - Warrior Queen of Mercia – https://gadg.fm/191 // Literatur - Sigfüs Blöndal; Benedikt S.

Wie blickt die Türkei heute auf Europa? Und wie relevant ist die EU überhaupt noch für Ankara?In dieser Folge von TÜRK IT EASY sprechen wir mit dem Journalisten und Geopolitik-Experten Ramon Schack (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramon_Schack) über die multipolare Weltordnung und welche zentrale Rolle die Türkei darin spielt. Er analysiert die geopolitische Neuausrichtung der Türkei: weg von einer rein westlich orientierten Außenpolitik hin zu einer selbstbewussten Machtposition zwischen Eurasien, Nahost, Zentralasien und Afrika. Ein Gespräch über Realitäten jenseits westlicher Wunschvorstellungen. TÜRK IT EASY ist ein Projekt des Podcast-Kanals "Offene Karten"

Für Carolin Würfel wurde Istanbul zur Schicksalsstadt. Hier begann die Autorin ein neues Leben, fern alter Strukturen. Dieser Tapetenwechsel spielt auch in ihrem Debütroman eine Rolle, in dem sie sich auf die Suche nach weiblicher Autonomie begibt. Timm, Ulrike www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Im Gespräch

Es braucht viel Mut, um in der Türkei zu protestieren. Da ist sich Martin Lück sicher. Der Volkswirt beobachtet mit großem Interesse, was am Bosporus passiert: Seit Ekrem Imamoglu am 19. März festgenommen, in Untersuchungshaft gesteckt und als Istanbuler Bürgermeister abgesetzt wurde, kritisieren dessen Anhänger den zunehmend autoritären Kurs von Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Weit über 800 Menschen wurden inzwischen angeklagt. Europa, meint Lück, könnte mehr Kante zeigen.Imamoglu ist innenpolitisch der schärfste Konkurrent Erdogans. Offiziell geht es um Korruptions- und Terrorunterstützung, doch für die Unterstützer des Oppositionsführers sind diese Vorwürfe politisch motiviert. "Erdogan hat entschieden, Imamoglu aus dem Spiel zu nehmen", sagt Türkei-Kenner Lück im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit". Er hält den Zeitpunkt der Festnahme für keinen Zufall: Imamoglu sollte wenig später von seiner Partei als Kandidat für die nächste Präsidentschaftswahl aufgestellt werden.Aus Deutschland kommen kritische Rufe nach schneller Aufklärung. Doch diese Stimmen sind "bemerkenswert leise", sagt Lück. Die Türkei ist ein Land, das aus europäischer Sicht strategisch enorm wichtig ist. So ist Erdogan zwar auf der einen Seite Partner des Westens, zugleich pflegt er einen guten Draht zu Putin. Was auf ersten Blick kaum zusammenpasst, stärkt die Verhandlungsposition des türkischen Präsidenten gegenüber seinen europäischen Partnern: "Erdogan weiß um seine Macht", sagt der Volkswirt. "Ich würde fast sagen, er hat uns in gewisser Hinsicht in der Hand."Denn seit US-Präsident Donald Trump die Weltordnung durcheinanderwirbelt, ist die Türkei aus europäischer Perspektive wichtiger denn je: für Handelsrouten und Flüchtlingsdeals, aber auch für sicherheitspolitische Aspekte. Denn die Türkei ist Nato-Partner mit enormer Schlagkraft. Das Land verfügt nach den USA über die zweitgrößte Truppenstärke aller Bündnispartner.Für Lück steht fest: Erdogans Lust an der Macht ist groß. Das Vorgehen des türkischen Präsidenten gegen Imamoglu hält er für einen Schritt in Richtung Diktatur. Mit einem schärferen Vorgehen gegen türkische Propaganda auf deutschem Boden könnte man Erdogan "vielleicht ein bisschen weh tun". Ausreichen werde das aber nicht. Vor allem hofft Lück deshalb auf den Mut der Menschen in der Türkei - und dass sie sich auch in Zukunft nicht einschüchtern lassen. Denn auch Erdogan "wird nicht ewig an der Macht sein".Bei dieser Folge handelt es sich um einen Re-Upload. Die Folge haben wir erstmals am 10.

In dieser bewegenden und zugleich unterhaltsamen Folge von "Mein Abenteuer" begrüßt Rainer Meutsch zwei außergewöhnliche junge Männer: Justus Lutterbey und Timon Herwig. Die beiden Freunde aus Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler haben sich einen Traum erfüllt – 72 Tage, 11 Länder, 1 Ziel: Mit dem Fahrrad von der Ahr bis an den Bosporus! Was als Idee zwischen Studium und Berufsleben begann, wurde zu einem unvergesslichen Roadtrip voller Höhen, Tiefen, Gastfreundschaft, Selbstfindung und echter Abenteuer. Justus und Timon berichten von wilden Zeltübernachtungen, zerstörtem Gepäck, Begegnungen mit Straßenhunden, einem unerwarteten Besuch bei einem türkischen Beschneidungsfest – und natürlich von ihrer tiefen Freundschaft, die durch jede Etappe noch enger wurde. Mit Witz, Offenheit und beeindruckender Reiselust nehmen sie uns mit auf ihre Reise durch Europa bis nach Istanbul. Eine Folge über Mut, Freundschaft, das Loslassen und den Zauber des Unterwegsseins. Unbedingt reinhören!

Luke Belfield is a force, undertaking feats of running and swimming which would tax any mortal. As someone who developed arthritis in childhood, with some remissionand then resumption in early adult life, he could have accepted the ruling of the ancient Greek three sisters of fate. But he didn't. Very successfully, he has been weaving his own destiny with the thread that he has been given, by, in his own words, considering his body as an instrument and not an ornament. In this podcast, we talk about his athletic journey, from running the Athens marathon and ironman, to marathon swimming. He swam the Bosporus in 2024, and at thetime of recording, is preparing to swim the English Channel solo. Preparation, intelligence, reflection and awareness are central to his toolkit, both in his athletics and in raising awareness about childhood arthritis and empowering youngpeople with this condition.

Die Aktie des Wohnungskonzerns Vonovia ist zuletzt abgestürzt. Dabei sind die Mieteinnahmen gestiegen und die Wohnungsnot in Deutschland bleibt groß. Aber steigende Zinsen verdüstern den Ausblick des hoch verschuldeten Konzerns. Die beiden Wirtschaftsjournalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz streiten über die Aussichten des Dax-Konzerns, der in Dietmars Depot jetzt die größte Position ist. Weitere Themen: - Der FOMO-Aktien-Indikator – woran Anleger heiß gelaufene Papiere erkennen - Wenn der Bulle zum Shortseller wird – was aus den Anti-Amerika-Wetten geworden ist - Habecks Subventionsbilanz – warum der scheidende Wirtschaftsminister das Paradebeispiel der politischen Ökonomie ist - Aktienmarkt Türkei – ist es moralisch vertretbar, am Bosporus auf Schnäppchenjagd zu gehen DEFFNER & ZSCHÄPITZ sind wie das wahre Leben. Wie Optimist und Pessimist. Im wöchentlichen WELT-Podcast diskutieren und streiten die Journalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz über die wichtigen Wirtschaftsthemen des Alltags.

A Time WarpBy FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.What follows is a diversion from the central storyline, but it is crucial to understanding why certain members of the supporting cast are behaving the way they are.808 BCE near Halab in what is today's Northern Syria:For me, Cael Nyilas, it was a return to last night's horrifying scene that engulfed me. The screams of dying horses and moribund men crying the pantheon of life's final regrets. Blood, piss, voided bowels and the stench of comingled sweat and leather filled my nostrils. The true cacophony of battle was all about. The battle shock faded into an innocuous background distraction.In my heart of hearts, I felt at ease, even content. We were cut off and surrounded yet hardly hopeless. Men, my brothers-in-arms and the younger noble sons of Assur and Nineveh combined to put a press of shields, armor and flesh encircling us. Those 'pampered' aristocrats stank with fear and well they should. Death was still possible before their relief arrived.I hurt, Shara (my deity?), I was wounded, but it meant nothing. I laughed; a primitive version of 'atheists and foxholes' passing through my mind. This body had lived through much worse. The closest man, her deceased husband's cousin, and I lifted the shattered wooden chariot off the person our circle was centered on. My arm was extended to her.She was glorious, fierce and half-drunk with battle lust. I could feel her talon-like fingers through the leather and 'parzillu' scales guarding my bicep. She half jumped and was half pulled to her feet. Her kinsman presented her 'misplaced' sword, hilt first. In her eyes, I saw the burning intensity of the Shamash (Sun God, consort of Aya?) at the height of the Burning Season.Her martial mirth exceeded any other noise as it passed her lips."You took your time getting here," Shammuramat taunted me, not a true reproach. "I was so bored, I decide to take a nap in the shade of my conveniently overturned chariot." She defied all fortunes that conspired toward her demise; her own breed of madness."You looked so peaceful in your sleep, I didn't want to wake you," I bantered back. Her 'kinsman' scowled at my familiarity with his monarch. My champions, more like brothers to me than any kin born of my blood, had carved a gory swath to her stranded bodyguard. Mounted on Median steeds, we had pressed back the entourages of two Aramean kings bent on her violent passing.A barricade of overturned, or unattended chariots gave us space to dismount and perform our very visible rescue mission. All the pieces were right where she wanted them; everything unfolding according to her plan. Focus the enemy in the center with her person and the banner of Assur while the rest of her chariots and all of her cavalry swept through an unguarded wadi and fell upon them from behind.Brilliant. Somewhat less brilliant when faced with the desperate energy of our enemies, but her victory was already a certainty. The allied Western Kings were sure my command was attempting to snatch the Queen back to the safety of her infantry. Those hardy, foot-bound souls were still holding their own against the greater mass of the enemy footmen.The children of rebellious nobles bent every bit of their remaining energy, squandered their last reserves to ensure Shammuramat didn't escape. If the positons were reversed, they would have eagerly abandoned their troops and sought safety to the rear. The idea of Shammuramat being overwrought with terror was absurd.Our opponents' bellows for our blood turned into wails of despair. The charging, plumaged steeds of Assyria had appeared behind them. Our enemies had nothing left to slow the new arrivals down, much less stop them. For those who dared defy Shammuramat, Queen of all the Akkadians, the slaughter was just beginning."Come 'Alal' (that was me); I promised 'Atarshumki' I would kick his head over his own city walls before sunset and I always keep my promises," she shoved one of my horse-holders aside and took one of my steeds. 'Alal' was not the name my father gave me. It meant destroyer and it was blasphemy to lay claim to it."Killing kings will cost you extra," was my impious response.Assyrians nobility barely tolerated mercenaries most of the time. My men and I didn't care. I hadn't taken up the killing business to make friends and my troops felt the same way. What mattered to us was that their coin was good and delivered on time. That was a good thing because whores and merchants were loath to advance 'our kind' anything on credit."I'll meet you half way," she grinned manically at me while my fighters and I raced for our mounts. (Saving the junior nobility wasn't what she were paying us for.) "I'll let you take any prince you capture as a hostage." I nodded. My men cheered hungrily, despite the choking dust. As long as I didn't get too greedy, the Kings would pay for their sons. Now we had to capture the bastards."Tūbātu," I reminded them. 'Goodwill'. It was a polite way of saying 'stop your chariot, rest your arms and your mother won't have to come begging for your corpse'. It was best to let opposing nobility keep their dignity in our business. Today's enemy might be tomorrow's paymaster.I blinked and things changed.Planting followed harvest and harvest followed planting. It had long ago become a blur. Shammuramat had grown older. Her first son became king when he was of age. I had long exceeded my welcome and my desire to stay. I was fixed to this small patch of the greater world by a rare emotion, empathy.It had come out of nowhere. We were campaigning against the Scythians raiding over the Zagros Mountains and followed them into Urartu. Night had fallen and I walked the camp as was my habit; being killed a few times in your sleep will make you err on the side of caution. Shammuramat was gazing out over the river Arkas."I though all the scouts have returned," I asked as I stepped to her side. A cool, early autumn breeze blew down the valley, tossing a few loose locks of her greying hair. She always had one patch shorn short which made her left-side braids prone to unwind."They have. We head back for Nineveh with the dawn," she murmured, her mind elsewhere."Do you ever dream of home?" she asked me out of the blue."No. I don't dream anymore. I rarely sleep and if I did, I would hope to dream of something less boring," I snorted in amusement. She had never talked about her home, to anyone as far as I knew."You will be going to Lydia when winter comes," she stated tensely."King Gyges needs someone with experience beating Cimmerians," I answered. The true reason was that I was no longer welcome on the Assyrian payroll because I insisted on recruiting only non-Assyrians into the ranks of my ferociously effective little band of one hundred; never more and rarely less."Shemtsu is a fool," she grumbled."That is unfair," I countered. My willingness to argue with her was one of my charms in her eyes. "He is an excellent Treasurer and he makes sure your vassals pay their tribute on time and in its full amount."The silence was hurtful to me because Shammuramat was never one to obfuscate her thoughts, especially around me. It was one of her charms, to my way of thinking."Salmu Eretu, the northern night sky has no answers for what ails you. Get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to start out cold before it bakes us." I called her 'Black Cloud' in Akkadian.I had first used that name twenty years ago to insult her, highlighting her tempestuous nature. In the Assyrian court, having just received recognition for my quick thinking, Shammuramat had belittled my accomplishment, throwing my body between her, her unborn child (the man who was now not-so-gently ushering me to the border) and a Kassite noble and his retainer bent on killing them both.Had my deed not been witnessed by half a dozen reliable sources, I wouldn't even have received that tawdry token."He sought glory without risk," she spat out her insult in a Hittite tongue alien to this court. Unfortunately for us both, I had worked for a Babylonian family for a few generations and they had been kind enough to turn me from an illiterate commoner to a man of some education.Ironically, they even taught me my native cuneiform long after my birthplace was barely a memory."Well aren't you a black cloud on an otherwise waste of a day," I replied somewhat bitterly. Her eyes widened, then narrowed and then I heard her laugh for the first time."Should I tell them what you said?" she mocked me and my predicament."But of course," I grunted in Akkadian. I'd screwed up. My inner thoughts were 'please not decapitation, please not decapitation' because getting my head on straight after that was a real bitch."You've been nothing but a black cloud bent on turning the choking dust at my feet into a grasping, muddy morass. Why stop now?" I announced loudly. If you are going to die, die well. Having died too many times to count, remembering my last words were all I had left to look forward to.The guards, familiar with the Queen's temper and stunned into inaction by me clearly embracing a long, messy death, stood around uselessly. Had I been allowed a weapon in the royal presence, I might have thought which one to kill first."I gift you, a lowborn man of the South (Sumerian), with honors and you respond by insulting my wife?" King, Shamshi Adad V growled as he rose from his throne."Husband," she stood to join him. I thought it was a pity she rarely smiled. "You asked that I too give a gift to my savior and the savior of our son (all unborn babies were sons back then until roughly half had the audacity to gender switch while exiting the womb). I have chosen." I was expecting my life for the moment and a day's head start to the border."It is your choice to make," the King allowed."From this day, until my passing, this man may always speak his mind in our lands," she demanded. She had a habit of fatally correcting anyone who saw her as less than co-ruler. The hesitation was deafening."As you will," Shamshi Adad V acquiesced to yet another of his wife's odd 'requests'. From that day forth we had been fast friends. She never asked about my immortality, where I was from, or how I ended up with my elite band of professional killers. I returned the favor. It was an unspoken understanding that in a few years, or decades, she would die and I would leave, not necessarily in that order. We had shared more years than I had given to any one person in quite some time."There is nothing left for me but ash," she declared with morbid certainty."Should any of us expect any better?" I did my best to offer words of comfort she would accept."Oh no," her noise was too bitter to be a laugh. "I had my own 'Life beyond Death' and it was stolen from me, along with my birthright.""We are chasing the thieves?" I asked."Yes and no," her face grew grim once more. "These were not the ones I was looking for. They share some bonds with some of the Scythian tribes who live on the far side of the Sea of Death (the Black Sea). These raiders weren't from those tribes.""Why are you turning back?" I questioned. "You know your Assyrians are loyal. They will follow wherever you lead. Your son won't begrudge you these few hundred. I'll come too.""Why?" she turned and looked into my eyes. She still had that blazing fire in her eyes. She was teasing me. If she asked, I too would follow and my men would follow me."The Scythians have been raiding the Lands of the Two Rivers from, well, before I graduated from 'spear for hire' to a 'seeker of a mastery of war'. The rich plunder of their camps will provide plenty of incentive for my men plus we can sell the horses when we come back," I stated."I do not have the years left to spend on such a campaign," she sighed. I had never heard a hint of defeat in her speech before. It was unsettling and rather tragic."I have squandered my years in marriage, being Queen and raising my boys. I tried to make Assyria my new family and I am revealed to be a fool. You had it right. We will always be outlanders. No matter how brave, loyal, just and smart, we would never be allowed in their sanctimonious circle," she said. "You. I should have ridden off with you after my first born was acknowledged (the present King Adad-nirari the 3rd).""We could have gathered up some more fighters, ridden over shattered Phrygia, to the narrows (Bosporus) and into the lands of the Thracians. There is a legend of a great river that pours out from the western shore of the Death Sea. What I seek is up that river.""How many would we face?" I grew equally serious."One," she coughed. "Me." My confusion was obvious. "I am not asking you to fight me, Alal. I want you to come back for me.""I can't. That is not how it works," I stated."How does it work then?" she looked into my eyes. The fire was there, but banked and waning. I didn't say anything. "I have never seen, or heard of you entering a temple.""Your men go. You do not stop them, but you have given up any pretense of worship," she pressed. "Do you not believe that anything exists beyond your senses?""I believe," I sighed. "I believe people are fools for giving offering, pledging their fidelity, pleading for mercy, or extending thanks to any deity. Those Shar-an (gnats) do as they will, unless it is to punish us for treating them like the spoiled children they are."Shammuramat regained her long-stilled laughter."I have always felt a kinship with you through our mutual bitterness.""Bitterness comes with familiarity," I snorted in amusement. Lovers had passion. We shared a simmering anger that came from being irredeemably wronged."I was born Baraqu, the first son of a potter in some city that no longer matters. I was a failure as a potter and an embarrassment to my house and my clan," I began a story I hadn't told another soul in, I couldn't recall. "In those days, the Priest-Kings declared wars and demanded each clan of the city give forth a certain number of males to fight. My family volunteered me and two rowdy cousins.Outside the gates, my clan elder gave each of us a cowhide shield and a spear with a small spindle of copper at the tip so we wouldn't think it was a staff. We marched, I forget which city we were fighting that time. Three days later we found the enemy behind a deep irrigation ditch that had dried out for the season. Our orders were simple, 'There they are. Attack!'My elder was at the back of our mob, making sure none of us ran away. My older cousin made it across the ditch first, but was speared twice; once in the right kidney, I can still remember my first sight of blood, and once, piercing the shield and lodging in his ribcage. My second cousin and I were pushed from behind into the fighting. I stabbed at one shield, doing no harm.Then my surviving cousin's morale broke and he tried to claw his way back into our ranks. He was stabbed in the back, his dying body tangling with mine and bearing us both to the ground. I saw this howling mad face over me. He was a commoner, like me, driven to violence by the terror of battle. His shoddily crafted spear plunged first into my right lung. The second stab found my heart. I died.From there, my spirit fell down toward the wretched dank caverns where all pitiful lowborn dregs are doomed to end up without hope of parole. Instead of endless misery, the Goddess Sarrat Irkalli appeared before me, barring my descent. With icy claws, she trisected my soul. I cannot begin to describe that agony. She snatched up my tattered bits and dragged me back into the world.Sarrat Irkalli is Goddess of the Netherworld, whispered a word that penetrated my brain through the left ear of my cooling corpse. It was an utterance so catastrophic to the fabric of the Veil I dare not repeat it even now.Baraqu? she blew a dark wind upon the first bit of my essence and it flew away.Cael, she whispered to the second portion and off it went in another direction. You are Baraqu no more. The second name was meaningless to me at the time but my name. Do you know that if you have your true name, your spirit can not find its way to your reward, no matter how foul, or pleasing? To the third part of my soul. I name you Alal, he who stands witness to the end of all he desires; their destroyer. Powerful yet powerless.}With that, she left me. My body was stiff from being dead so long. The next few hours were extremely painful. The Sun had set and the Moon was not in evidence. Jackals barked and hyenas laughed as they fought and feasted on the dead. I pushed the body of my cousin off me then crawled down into the ditch to hide. Hardly the reaction of a hero.""Not the actions of the man I know," Shammuramat smirked. "So, your name is Baraqu.""Was and I never much liked the name," I countered. "The priests gave it to me because right before my naming ceremony, a bolt of lightning from a spring storm struck the temple of Shara. So they named me Baraqu, which means 'struck by lightning'.""That sound likes a good name," the Queen Dowager regarded me."That is the noble meaning. The common meaning is less eloquent, it means 'idiot'."Another deep laugh from my treasured compatriot. So few had ever mattered so much to me."Struck by lightning, stricken dumb," she guffawed. "Still not the 'you' I know.""What does the other name mean?""I have no idea. In all my travels I have never found a people familiar with it," I shrugged. She looked out over the low waves lapping against the stony shore."No explanation?" she grudgingly inquired. She had wanted me to continue."No. I have never again come face to face with Sarrat Irkalli, been visited by a messenger, divine, or demonic, received an omen, or any otherworldly presence of any kind," I shrugged. I was long past any resentment. "After the battle I made my way back home, we'd lost, and resumed my life for a few years. My father took the excuse of me 'letting' my kinsmen die to place my younger brother over me.I didn't care. I always hated being a potter, so I ended up being a piddling nuisance all the time and a drunken brawler whenever I had wrangled some beer. I was always the first choice of my clan to send into battle. Despite my lack of training, I began surviving more battles than I died in. At some point, the priests began getting suspicious that I was still hanging around my great-grandnephew's house, so my house Elder suggested I leave the city.I was given a nice copper-headed mace that I had taken in a recent skirmish. Tradition dictated I offer it to the Elder, so he could give it back to me as a sign of my value to the clan. He had taken it for his own. Now he was giving it back out of fear that it held some part of my taint. I had no idea how to live on my own. Two days out, I was robbed and murdered for the first, but not last, time. That inaugural event, I got really angry and hunted those two farmers down.I got my mace back. I also relieved them of an onager, three slaves and a few ingots of silver. I guessed they had been rather successful robbers until they met me."

Stel, je ligt als oeroude, schitterende stad op twee continenten. Je bevindt je in zeer select gezelschap, hebt altijd wat te vertellen op feesten en partijen. Je kunt altijd rekenen op een flirt van patserige jonkies als Dubai en Los Angeles. Geen wonder dat Istanbul kan rekenen op een enorme lading street cred. Want Istanbul ligt niet al eeuwen te chillen op twee werelddelen, Istanbul vórmde die werelddelen. Als je tegelijkertijd zeggenschap hebt over Mekka, Jeruzalem, Bagdad en Boedapest, dan heb je wel angstaanjagend gegromd naar de wereld. En dat hebben ze aan de Bosporus aardig gedaan. Maar vlak ook de verleidelijke knipoog niet uit die Istanbul in huis heeft. Want deze Turkse schone verovert nog steeds de harten van de hele wereld.

When the capital of the Roman empire was moved from Rome to the city of Constantinople, the city on the Bosporus strait became one of the most important places on planet earth. One top being the heart of Roman religious, political, and cultural life for a millennium, the city had a reputation for being impregnable. From the 6th to the 13th century the city was besieged an amazing 19 times, and not once was it overcome by a foreign army. This resilience added to the city's legendary status. Two of the most significant sieges came at the hands of the Muslim Umayyad Caliphate, in 674 and 717. These battles have been cited as historical turning points, however recent scholarship has cast doubt on the traditional sources. How significant were these sieges? Did they both even occur? Tune-in and find out how sassy Voltaire, sloppy meta-narratives, and the end of the world all play a role in the story.

1600 Jahre lang, vom namensgebenden römischen Kaiser Konstantin bis zum Untergang des Osmanischen Reiches in den Wirren des Ersten Weltkrieges hatte Konstantinopel alias Byzanz alias Stambul oder Istanbul als Hauptstadt wechselnder Großreiche fungiert. Mit der Entthronung des letzten türkischen Sultans und der Begründung der Türkischen Republik durch Kemal Pascha 1923 war diese Geschichte an ihr Ende gekommen. Die Regierung saß seither im zentralanatolischen Ankara, und auch durch die Verluste fast aller verbliebenen europäischen Provinzen der Türkei fand sich die alte multiethnische Metropole am Bosporus plötzlich in ungekannter Randlage wieder. Ein Bericht aus Konstantinopel, den wir im Hamburgischen Correspondenten vom 23. November 1924 fanden, nennt keinen Autor, vermittelt allerdings deutlich das Bild einer Weltstadt im Niedergang. Es liest Frank Riede.

We admit it: we went too early with the Eric Adams story a couple weeks ago… and circumstances have developed not necessarily to the Mayor's advantage… so No Gods, No Mayors' Mattie Lubchansky (and Riley Quinn and November Kelly) join the gang to discuss details of the Very Unfair, Biased Eric Adams Indictment Witch Hunt, where a simple country mayor is persecuted only for his love of the boat cruise of the Bosporus and Turkish YIMBYism. Also, we discuss recent events in Lebanon and then read an article about a hyper-secure island for billionaires off the coast of Miami.

In the twenty-first century, infrastructure has undergone a seismic shift from West to East. Once concentrated in Europe and North America, global infrastructure production today is focused squarely on Asia. Infrastructure and the Remaking of Asia (U Hawaii Press, 2022) investigates the deeper implications of that pivot to the East. Written by leading international infrastructure experts, it demonstrates how new roads, airports, pipelines, and cables are changing Asian economies, societies, and geopolitics—from the Bosporus to Beijing, and from Indonesia to the Arctic. Ten tightly interwoven case studies powerfully illustrate infrastructure's leading role in three global paradigm shifts: climate change, digitalization, and China's emergence as a superpower. Combining social science methods with mapping techniques from the design professions, Infrastructure and the Remaking of Asia establishes a dialogue between academic research on infrastructure and the professional insights of those responsible for infrastructure's planning, production, and operation. By applying that mixed method to transport, energy, telecommunication, and resource extraction projects across Asia, the book synthesizes research on infrastructure from six academic fields, while making those insights accessible to a wider audience of students, professionals, and the general public. Max Hirsh is managing director of the Airport City Academy and a research fellow at the University of Colorado Boulder. He holds a PhD in urban planning from Harvard and is the author of Airport Urbanism: Infrastructure and Mobility in Asia. Max's research investigates the relationship between air travel and urban form. Till Mostowlansky is a Research Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology at the Geneva Graduate Institute and the Principal Investigator of the Swiss National Science Foundation funded project “Quiet Aid: Service and Salvation in the Balkans-to-Bengal-Complex”. He is currently a Visiting Professor at the Kyiv School of Economics. Yadong Li is a PhD student in anthropology at Tulane University.

In the twenty-first century, infrastructure has undergone a seismic shift from West to East. Once concentrated in Europe and North America, global infrastructure production today is focused squarely on Asia. Infrastructure and the Remaking of Asia (U Hawaii Press, 2022) investigates the deeper implications of that pivot to the East. Written by leading international infrastructure experts, it demonstrates how new roads, airports, pipelines, and cables are changing Asian economies, societies, and geopolitics—from the Bosporus to Beijing, and from Indonesia to the Arctic. Ten tightly interwoven case studies powerfully illustrate infrastructure's leading role in three global paradigm shifts: climate change, digitalization, and China's emergence as a superpower. Combining social science methods with mapping techniques from the design professions, Infrastructure and the Remaking of Asia establishes a dialogue between academic research on infrastructure and the professional insights of those responsible for infrastructure's planning, production, and operation. By applying that mixed method to transport, energy, telecommunication, and resource extraction projects across Asia, the book synthesizes research on infrastructure from six academic fields, while making those insights accessible to a wider audience of students, professionals, and the general public.

Verhaftet, gefoltert, freigelassen - die Soziologin Pinar Selek musste die Türkei verlassen und kämpft aus dem Exil gegen Islamismus, Militarismus und das Patriarchat am Bosporus. // Von Renate Maurer - ORF/SWR 2023 - www.radiofeature.wdr.de Von Renate Maurer.

Wir reisen mit unseren Motorrädern durch Europa in Etappen. Zwei Jahre lang standen unsere Maschinen in einer Werkstatt auf Zypern und es wird Zeit, dass wir unsere Tour fortsetzen. Wir lernen zypriotische Motorradfahrerinnen kennen, erkunden die geteilte Insel auf kleinen Straßen und Zelten direkt am Strand. Zurück nach Festland - Europa gibt es nur einen Weg: Wir müssen über Nordzypern und die Türkei fahren. Diesmal klappt es an den Grenzen reibungslos und die Türkei empfängt uns wieder mit grandiosen Berglandschaften. Allerdings ist es im März auf fast 2.000 Metern noch eisig kalt und im Schneesturm macht das Fahren keinen Spaß. Hinzu kommen immer öfter Probleme mit Sonjas Motorrad. In Istanbul fahren wir über den Bosporus und verbringen ein paar Tage im eropäischen Teil der Millionenstadt. Wieder gibt es technische Probleme, diesmal ist es die Kupplung in Sonjas Yamaha. Kurz bevor wir die Etappe beenden müssen geht gar nichts mehr. Werden wir es noch rechtzeitig nach Bulgarien schaffen?

It looks like Turkey is trying to pack as much as it can into the agenda of the crucial NATO Summit in Vilnius later this month. Aside from Turkey's veto over Sweden's NATO membership, Ankara has also put a freeze on NATO's new operational maps by raising questions about the naming of the Dardanelles and the Bosporus straits in the new operational maps, and taking issue with the reference of the Republic of Cyprus in the plans as well. Vassilis Nedos, Kathimerini's diplomatic and defense editor, joins Thanos Davelis to break down why Ankara has derailed NATO regional procedures, and look at why this matters.Read the latest by Vassilis Nedos on this issue:Ankara derails NATO regional proceduresUS proposal to break NATO map deadlockWait-and-see mood in Athens over TurkeyYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Turkish games in the StraitsMitsotakis Steps Up Reforms to Send Greek Crisis to HistoryTurkey says Quran burning in Sweden raises questions about its reliability as a possible NATO memberTurkey's Erdogan says Sweden's NATO steps undermined by protests

Der Bosporus ist eine der wichtigsten Wasserstraßen der Welt. Die Meerenge verbindet das Marmarameer mit dem Schwarzen Meer. Für den Reichtum von Byzanz war der Bosporus von großer Bedeutung. Auch heute haben die Istanbuler eine sehr innige Beziehung zum Bosporus. Er teilt die Millionenmetropole in europäische und asiatische Stadtviertel. Von Claudia Steiner (BR 2018)

Mehmet Ali Sanlikol and A Far Cry — A Gentleman of Istanbul (Crier) New Classical Tracks - Mehmet Ali Sanlikol by Mehmet Ali Sanlikol is a Turkish American composer and multi-instrumentalist who grew up surrounded by Western classical piano music. Then, he discovered jazz. He moved to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music. And today, he's a professor at the New England Conservatory. His life-changing journey comes to light in his new recording with the chamber orchestra A Far Cry, A Gentleman of Istanbul. “I came back to my roots seven years after moving to Boston,” he says. “When I reconnected with my culture. I realized that I was self-alienated, self orientalism. It was a very important moment. It took about 10 years for me to come out of it. “What I mean by that is I started picking up several traditional musical instruments, studying them in addition to piano and singing professionally in traditional classical Turkish style. It was around 2011 when I relaunched my career as a composer and jazz musician. I had developed a more confident and unique voice as a composer.” How did you come up with A Gentleman of Istanbul? “It wasn't that difficult for me to think about a theme because right then, Donald Trump had come forward with his Muslim ban. It wasn't in response because almost everyone I knew was arguing. What surprised me was how many people out there looking to defend Muslims happened to be putting out images that were also stereotypes. “This just kept hitting me one after the other. They once said, ‘Come on, this is not right. This is reductionism.' Islamic geography is huge, from Morocco to Indonesia. It's a huge religion, and you're reducing that culture to just the mosque and the headscarf? “I said, ‘Let me show you cosmopolitanism within Islam.' I went to this fantastic Ottoman intellectual Muslim traveler from mid-17th-century Istanbul. His name is Evliya Çelebi. I thought if I picked several excerpts from his traveling, I might be able to show the kind of cosmopolitanism I rarely see. Would his ideas of Islam be accepted now? “I think those kinds of attitudes still exist. However, he was devout, but at the same time, he had a lot of room for all kinds of Sufi dervishes, too. That's the cosmopolitanism that I'm talking about. It's striking, especially considering this is a 17th-century travelogue.” How have you created music that blends traditional Turkish Western classical jazz? “First, I selected four different sections out of the travelogue. The first one was the clocks and bell towers of Vienna. That first movement is a little bit more classical, if you will. I am playing the oud as the featured soloist — the middle of the first movement follows the sonata form. In the middle of that, there is a fugue. There is a sense of Vienna that I found different ways to express. “In the second movement, where he talks about the death of an Ottoman sultana, he becomes melancholic, dramatic and Homeric. I thought about Istanbul and the kind of violet or purplish tones you see that get reflected on the Bosporus Strait right around sunset. I imagine crossing the Bosporus with a ferry at that hour and seeing the seagulls fly before the Hagia Sophia or Blue Mosque. I had these images, and then I thought, ‘That's jazz.' I said, ‘I'm going to score a jazz ballad.' “The third movement is the funniest passage, because he says he sees two Bektashi Sufi dervishes, an order from central Turkey. One is riding a rhinoceros, and the other is on an animal with horns by the ears. I was like, ‘What's going on?' It was so entertaining. When I go back to that, it puts a smile on my face, and it's fantastic. It's like a passage out of Star Wars, right?” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

There are authoritarians and there are tyrants, and sometimes they're the same person. But would a true tyrant put himself up to face the people in an election that could be free and maybe even fair?With Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan, we're going to find out the exact flavor of authoritarian he is on Sunday, May 14, and in the days immediately following. Erdogan has been in power in his nation of more than 80 million people for nearly two decades, and in some ways, he's brought it to near ruin, with economic policies based more on his gut than sound economic theory.He's also not much on newspapers, freedom of information, or freedom of speech.On the other hand, no one is going to doubt the importance of his country on the world stage. Erdogan has become something like the Bosporus itself, a gateway or meeting point between NATO and Moscow, and even Iran occasionally. That sounds good, but it hasn't made the West particularly happy. In one of the most recent examples, Turkey's veto is the only thing standing between Sweden and NATO membership. Erdogan says it has to do with Sweden harboring Kurdish terrorists, but, like buying S-400 missile batteries from Russia, it could just be a thumb in the eye of all concerned.Maybe the U.S. should just sell Turkey those F-16s it wants.The main question, however, is what Erdogan will do when all the votes are counted. If he loses, does he go away? If he wins, does he take away more freedoms from Turks and become the tyrant he always had the potential of becoming?To answer these questions, Angry Planet spoke with Steven Cook of the Council on Foreign relations.

All the psyops and mind wars have the goal of conforming people and keeping them in check. Fear of the unknown drives us all. Group comfort and how it's used against us. A sense of identity and other courage tools. Burden sharing and standing up to pressure. Scared means no inner substance. Groups like the GOP are used to control us. Money is what people serve. 2020 was all about it. The Mayor has seen it all. FBI documents that we demand. Assange pardon was ignored. Switching media so the people are the employer. FOIA instructions to help Assange. When the EU cashes in. Turkey, NATO and earthquakes from Hell. Charity infiltration and assassination plans? Putin eyes the Bosporus. Dress in red for the take down. The plastic Don. The 40k view is important. Give the children a balloon. Separating from the group think is the hardest thing of all. Trust in yourself and have more than just belief in His guidance. What we all need now is super faith. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
