This study seeks to explain the process by which the Jewish community in Turkey renounced rights granted under the Treaty of Lausanne to minorities in areas such as family law. It is generally accepted in the scholarship on minorities that the Jews were the one group who gave up their rights under the treaty without difficulty. However, the work of authors such as Rifat Bali and Avner Levi has demonstrated that this process was not as easy and quick for the Jewish community as once thought.&nbsp;The relevant literature contains significant deficiencies, errors, and consequent information confusion in its descriptions of the renunciation of Jewish rights in the Treaty of Lausanne. This study therefore aims to correct these deficiencies and errors so far as possible, relying on news published in the contemporary Turkish press as the main source of evidence. It is possible, however, that a more comprehensive study could be conducted in the future.&nbsp;The Jewish community first officially renounced the privileges granted to it under the 42nd article of the Treaty of Lausanne by application to the Ministry of Justice on September 15, 1925. However, the religious and secular powers of the Grand Rabbi’s office were not separated and its authority in worldly affairs was not completely removed. The renunciation application made by the Jewish community on September 15, 1925 should therefore have been deemed insufficient by the government, then in the process of adopting the Civil Law, in terms of the Jewish community having a secular government. Shortly thereafter, news appeared of a “loyalty telegram,” said to have been sent to Spain by Turkish Jews. It was first claimed on February 18, 1926 that 300 members of the Jewish community from Istanbul and Izmir had sent a telegram declaring loyalty to the Spanish Government. The claim appears in the Cumhuriyet, Milliyet, İkdam, Vakit and Son Saat newspapers of February 18 and 19, 1926 that 300 people from Istanbul and Izmir had written a “declaration of servitude” and “loyalty” telegram to the Spanish government. By contrast, Ankara’s Hakimiyet-i Milliye and Istanbul’s Halk Gazetesi newspapers approached the issue much more moderately. The press held talks about this telegram incident with the Police Chief and Governor of Istanbul and with Grand Rabbi Becerano Efendi. Jewish newspapers of the period reacted by denying that allegations about loyalty telegrams were true. Although these newspapers cannot be examined directly, their attitude towards the allegations pursued by the Turkish press is clear.Following the appearance of allegations / accusations in the press, a meeting was held on the evening of February 18, 1926 in the Rabbinate. In accordance with a decision taken at this meeting, Becerano Efendi sought to meet with the Governor of Istanbul together with the head of the community, Jak Nahmiyas Efendi. Becerano Efendi was able to meet with Istanbul Governor Süleyman Sami Bey on February 21, 1926 and subsequently made a statement to the press, as did the governor. The Jewish community administration, dissatisfied with the Chief Rabbi’s visit to the Governor of Istanbul, decided to send a delegation to Ankara in response to news in the press. It is understood that a delegation of five people (Nesim Mazliyah, Gad Franko, Shimon Levi, Hanri Soriano, and Avram Galanti) set out for Ankara on February 24, 1926 on behalf of the Jewish community. This delegation, chaired by Nesim Mazliyah Efendi, was received in Ankara by the Minister of Internal Affairs, Cemil Bey, on February 26/27, 1926 at the latest. The minister then made a statement to the press immediately after the Jewish delegation’s visit. The Hakimiyet-i Milliye newspaper first shared this statement with the public on February 28, 1926, after which it was also reported in some other newspapers. According to the statement, the delegation had informed the Minister of Internal Affairs that they waived the rights in Articles 42 and 44 of the Treaty of Lausanne and that they would separate the religious and secular affairs of the Grand Rabbi, depriving the latter of secular authority. They also stated that, in order for the Jewish Community to learn Turkish adequately, Turkish education would start in Jewish schools.The Jewish delegation, having met with the Minister of Internal Affairs in Ankara, returned to Istanbul on March 1, 1926. A large meeting was then held in the Grand Rabbinate on March 2, 1926. That same evening, news of the results of an investigation into the loyalty telegram allegedly sent to Spain also featured in the press. According to this news, the investigation was continuing.Finally, on August 1, 1926, the secular powers of the Grand Rabbinate were removed by making the necessary changes to the Rabbinate regulation that had been in effect since 1865, and the renunciation of rights in the Treaty of Lausanne was reiterated. On the basis of information published in the news media, it is clear that an important meeting was held at the Grand Rabbinate at 14:00 on August 1, 1926, under the chairmanship of Jak Nahmiyas Effendi. According to most newspapers, 80 people attended this meeting, although one newspaper claims that only 70 attended. In terms of the decisions taken, it is certain that the minority rights in the Treaty of Lausanne were completely waived and that the religious and secular powers of the Rabbinate were separated, with the latter being completely removed. The religious court called the “Meclis-i Rohani,” originally named “Bed Din,” was thus abolished. The administration of Jewish schools was left to the board of alderman in each neighborhood. Strikingly, the newspapers explicitly describe the decisions taken by the Jewish community as regulations, though only two newspapers (Akşam, İkdam) state that the regulation was composed of 31 articles. Remarkably, the full text of these 31 articles is not available either in&nbsp;newspapers or in the Republic Archives, nor did we encounter the relevant documents in the American Archive. While we did not have the opportunity to examine the Grand Rabbinate Archive, it is plausible that a copy of the regulation exists there.

Global climate change and melting glaciers confer a great impact on waterway transportation. With the melting of glaciers, new trade routes are emerging in areas opened in the sea and ocean regions. As the air temperature rapidly rises in the North Pole, thick ice layers are melting and thinning in the Arctic Region. Naturally, the impacts of climate change will spread to affect Asia, Europe, and Turkey. The warmer temperatures will raise the water level in some places, creating floods and overflowing, while causing water to recede in other areas. Alternative new routes will alleviate the traffic burden on existing canals and straits, saving time and distance for the transportation sector. The Russian Federation (RF) exists at the forefront of safer and more economical waterway transportation, compared to other types of transportation. With the longest seashore and inland waterway in the Arctic Region, the RF has prepared a strategic waterway transportation plan spanning to 2030. Using inland waterways, Russia will foreseeably connect with five seas: the White Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Azov Sea, the Black Sea, and the Caspian Sea. Thus, a ship may soon use the Arctic Sea routes and inland waterways from the Arctic Region to reach the Black Sea via Moscow. In almost every relevant period, transportation has occurred over streams and rivers with the observed opening of water channels. Due to the economic and ecological nature of the waterways, the development of the ship industry and technology has facilitated transportation. Rivers and streams such as the Danube, Nile, Rhine, Yenisei, Mississippi, and Amazon are important waterways. Many countries have directed their routes into canals and straits, aligned with Alfred Thayer Mahan’s idea that “to dominate the sea, you need to have strait and canals.” Leading canals of commercial value include the Panama Canal, Suez Canal, Don-Volga Canal, Moscow-Volga Canal, Kiel Canal, and Mittelland Canal. Russia, which has a large geographical area, features the longest artificial and natural channels in the world. While the total length of inland waterways was 64,000 km in the early 20th century, Russia has since developed the longest inland waterways in the world, exceeding 101,000 km. With a set goal for 2030, Russia has begun studies to increase its commercial volume and maintain its superiority in waterway transportation. Russia has long neglected the northern&nbsp;region where the climate is harsh and covered with vast forests. However, the country made a great breakthrough with the canal projects and construction successively carried out in the 18th and 19th centuries. The connection of the White Sea and the Baltic Sea was completed in 1933 and opened to traffic. The White Sea—Baltic Canal, one of the first five major projects of the Soviet period, provide an important strategic and security point. Gulag prisoners were used in the construction of the canal, which was completed in 20 months and cost the lives of many people. Additionally, important lakes, streams, and artificial channels connect the Baltic Sea to the White Sea. In Russia, geography is defined by an excess of lakes, streams, and rivers, which necessitate waterway transportation. Russia will maintain its superiority through the improvement and development of inland waterways, especially along the Northern Sea Route. The distance between Hamburg, one of the biggest ports of Europe, and the Shanghai port of China in Asia is approximately 20,000 km over the Suez Canal. Contrastingly, these two points are approximately 14,000 km apart over the North Sea Route. Due to the great reduction of distance and time, the Northern Sea Route serves as an expected alternative to important canals such as the Suez Canal and Panama Canal. In addition, the inland waterways may be opened to tourism by integrating the Northern Sea routes with the rivers, lakes, and streams in the Northern regions. This research focuses on the role of the inland waterways and the built water canals in the country’s economy, as well as the channels, rivers, and lakes that connect the Baltic Sea to the White Sea. First, the study will emphasize the importance of transportation activities and trade implications regarding the major inland waterways and canals of the world. The study will then examine the economic and ecological aspects of inland waterways in comparison to land, air, and railway transportation. Lastly, this study will explore the trade contributions of the RF’s inland waterways, channels, and lakes that connect the White Sea to the Baltic Sea. Within the framework of the research, the literature review includes books and articles from primarily Russian, Turkish, and English sources.

In accordance with the expansionist colonist policy of Russian Czarism, the interest in Central Asia began during the period of Peter the Great. Peter the Great had an expedition to Turkestan, proving his interest. The expeditions led to gains such as improving the understanding of the region, building a fortified line, establishing outposts and fulcrum points. Perceiving Peter the Great’s interest in Turkestan as a political testament, he invaded the region in favor of czarism nearly 150 years later to please his successors who ascended the Russian throne. Czarist Russia invaded and annexed the Turkestan region until the last quarter of the 19th century, with the policy of taking, isolating, and dividing the Kazakh Juzes and then the Turkestan Khanates.In accordance with the expansionist colonist policy of Russian Czarism, the interest in Central Asia began during the period of Peter the Great.

Perceiving Peter the Great’s interest in Turkestan as a political testament, he invaded the region in favor of czarism nearly 150 years later to please his successors who ascended the Russian throne. Czarist Russia invaded and annexed the Turkestan region until the last quarter of the 19th century, with the policy of taking, isolating, and dividing the Kazakh Juzes and then the Turkestan Khanates.Turkestan was captured by Czarist Russia, leading to its policy in the region collapsing in 1916. This collapse is one of the signs that the collapse of czarism is imminent. Notably, the Russian Czarist Era ended in 1917. However, this is not our point. The main point is the activities of Russia, which invaded Turkestan after the second half of the 19th century. To hold the dominance of the Turkestan Region, the Russians conducted ongoing activities to intervene in the habitats, management styles, economies, lands, and religious lives of nonRussian people. The response to the interventions of Czarist Russia manifested nearly 50 years after the invasion. The grudge and the sense of independence accumulated by the non-Russian people in Turkestan during this 50-year period against the oppressive authority manifested with the riots in July 1916. In August and September of the same year, the riots turned into a rebellion and reached their peak. The new decisions taken by the czarist government on the region are one example of the reasons that prepared the environment for these feelings to explode and the silence in the region to break down. As a result, the effects of the activities of the Russians, which started after 1867, against the ancient inhabitants of Turkestan, caused the events called the riot or the Urkün massacre in Turkestan. Our work is based on three reports on the Turkestan region prepared for czarism and the post-czarist provisional government:1. The Turkestan General Governor and Turkestan Regional Military Commander sent to the Ministry of War for the presentation of the Czar by the Governor-General of Turkestan, the start of the rebellion, the financial losses in the places where the riot spread, the military measures implemented during the riot, the losses in the revolt, the treatment applied to the participants in the Turkestan revolt, and a detailed report. 22 февраля 1917 г.Копия.РГВИА.

The Caucasus region is of particular geopolitical significance to Turkey. This area, and its Turkish and Muslim inhabitants in particular, has long had close relations with Turkey, and it has thus been included within the scope of Turkey’s geopolitical interests. In terms of the population of the region, Azerbaijani Turks constitute an important part. Although Turkey’s military activity in the region grew significantly at the beginning of the 20th century, the Turkish army was forced to leave after the Armistice of Mudros.During the period of Soviet domination, Turkey had no political, economic, or other relations with the South Caucasus countries. For their part, these countries were completely dependent on Moscow and had no authority to conduct foreign affairs. Moreover, Turkey was a NATO member state in the Western bloc of the bipolar system. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Turkey developed political, economic, and cultural policies for the region. In this context, relations with Azerbaijan developed quickly and reached an advanced stage in a short time, leading to a high-level strategic partnership. Georgia, another important state in the region, also agreed to participate in important projects alongside Turkey and Azerbaijan. Armenia did not respond positively to Turkey’s tolerant and neighborly policy, and instead maintained a hostile attitude toward Turkey. Armenia, which had territorial claims against Azerbaijan, later pursued these claims through war and occupied Karabakh, long Azerbaijani territory, and seven surrounding regions.After a ceasefire was signed in Bishkek in 1994, Armenia violated its terms repeatedly and rejected proposals for a peaceful resolution of the dispute. Although four resolutions (822, 853, 873, and 884) were adopted by the UN Security Council in relation to the conflict, the OSCE Minsk Group, which was formed to resolve the matter, remained completely ineffective. The ceasefire was again seriously violated in April 2016 as a result of Armenian attacks, and after four days of fighting, the Azerbaijani army was able to save some important positions from Armenian occupation. This skirmish demonstrated the strategic and tactical capabilities of the Azerbaijani army. When the Armenian army attacked Tovuz, a border area, a great reaction was provoked in Azerbaijan as this is an extremely important area through which energy infrastructure is routed. Although Armenia sought to draw the Collective Security Treaty Organization into the war by using this conflict as an excuse, it was unable to achieve this. Subsequently, certain intelligence information was obtained that Armenia was preparing for a new attack, that the ceasefire would be violated, and that a new conflict would begin. In light of this information, while the Azerbaijani army continued its preparations for war, President Ilham Aliyev declared that his country would respond harshly to any attack by Armenia.Upon the attack of the Armenian army on September 27, 2020, the Azerbaijani army began its great offensive. Azerbaijani counterattacks surprised the Armenian army and inflicted great losses in a short time. On the first day, 12 Armenian air defense systems were destroyed, and, as a result of attacks involving helicopters and drones, Armenian forces were forced to retreat, abandoning important positions. In the following days, Armenian losses mounted, a situation that Prime Minister Pashinyan and other high-level Armenian officials attempted to hide in their statements. In addition, the Armenian government made incriminating claims against Azerbaijan and Turkey and requested international assistance, most notable from Russia. Armenia was unsuccessful in its diplomatic overtures to international organizations and major states and was gradually forced to leave important positions in the occupied territories one by one. In this 44-day war, the Armenian side suffered significant losses and was eventually obliged to sign the tripartite agreement of November 10, 2020 proposed by Russia. In line with the agreement, while Russian peacekeeping forces were established in predetermined regions, the Armenian army withdrew from the territories it formerly occupied.Although the Turkish army did not participate in direct military intervention and armed conflict during the war, it provided great support to Azerbaijan technologically and, even more importantly, by offering diplomatic counsel. This support provided very strong assurance to Azerbaijan. Although Armenia’s incriminating claims against Turkey (e.g., the participation of Turkish soldiers in the war, the transfer of jihadist groups from the Middle East to the region, etc.) remain unconfirmed, Armenia’s targeting of civilian settlements throughout the war has had serious repercussions. Various comments have been made by researchers and regional experts about how matters will unfold. After emerging victorious from the war, Azerbaijan shows maximum determination to protect its own interests.

Human beings have a desire to see new places and meet new people. Most people consider this desire the key to the enrichment of their intellectual world and the progress of the power of producing genuine experience. If the idea of travel is evaluated differently from that of tourism in the present day, the travel books that are produced by writing the experiences of those travels will contain the evaluations of people’s travels to the cities of the significant civilizations of the century. An important increase was witnessed in the number of travel books in the 19th and 20th centuries. This increase was because travel was becoming widespread and the ease of transportation and progress in publishing activities forced historians and the literati to focus on this field, particularly the travel books that were starting to be published in the mid-19th century. After the establishment of the Translation Office, many texts began to be translated into Ottoman Turkish. Ahmet Mermi Efendi, one of the translators of the Sultan Abdulhamid II era, translated numerous travel books at the command of the Sultan.There have been different views on using travel books as historical sources. Travelers recorded the things that were interesting to them. Sometimes they used an exaggerated writing style and sometimes they quoted the opinions of the people who had visited a location previously. Therefore, it could be identified clearly who is talking about their own experiences and who is quoting others’ opinions. If historians could distinguish the true or false information in the travel books, travel books could be used in historical studies as sources. The improved transportation and accommodation opportunities, with the help of technological developments in the Ottoman Empire, meant some literate Ottomans began to travel more and write their evaluations of their trips. In this paper, one of the examples of this situation, a booklet titled Anadolu ve Rumeli’ye Bir Küçük Seyȃhat Yȃhud Her Yerde Terakkȋ, will be discussed with the development of travel books in the Ottoman Empire. The transcription of the text is attached at the end of this paper.We do not have any information about Antalyalı Halil Salim, the author of the aforementioned work. It does not have classical travel book properties, and it is categorized as a booklet because of the extent of its content. The author mainly uses plain language except in a special part that sings the praises of Sultan Abdulhamid II. Halil Salim talks about the specialties of the places he visited and the events that he lived through during his travels in his travel book, which is 23 pages long. It has to be said that 23 pages are insufficient because he talks about so many places, such as Dedeağaç, İnoz (Enez), İzmir, Aydın, Dinler-Kinler, and Burdur. The reason for this situation is that his stay in some of those places was short. Although Burdur is a place that the author passed through many times compared to other places, he did not describe it in detail. Halil Salim’s work could be classified as travel notes prepared for a newspaper rather than a travel book because it contains superficial information about the historical and geographical properties of the places he visited, yet detailed information about social life. Halil Salim also evaluated progress in urbanization, architecture, transportation, and education in the Ottoman Empire and tried to emphasize that the state was in a progressive mode. This work could be used as a source for determining the sociocultural characteristics of the cities and towns discussed in the text.

Information and communication technologies have become a part of daily life. The rapid development of information technologies (IT) and the growing popularity of the Internet have caused the integration of IT into the education process. Additionally, the events of the past year in connection with the onset of a global pandemic forced the governments of all countries to make every effort to reduce the spread of coronavirus infection, and in one such step, the whole world was forced to switch to distance learning. The use of IT including electronic libraries, online laboratories and workshops, multimedia educational materials, and the Internet in general made possible the exchange of information across vast distances and locations. These resources contributed to increasing global knowledge levels by expanding the availability of interactive learning to students around the world. At the same time, however, the course of the year has revealed gaps in the world’s readiness to receive interactive education online. Less developed cultures around the world lack fully developed information cultures, and their populations were not trained in or ready to process the flood of information that IT made potentially available. As a result of the limited skills and access to hardware, students in many countries did not experience the transition to deep absorption of new learning materials.For this study, we analyze the advantages and disadvantages of distance education in the process of learning Russian as a foreign language in Turkey using information technology. Research has established that distance learning has both strengths and weaknesses, with strengths including usability, flexibility, mobility, low cost and ease of use, and the wide availability of educational materials. However, drawbacks include the lack of direct communication, poor emotional contact, pronunciation and emphasis adjustment, mostly independent work, difficulty in conducting communication games, and technical malfunctions. In summary, we can expect that there will be both benefits and challenges to learning the Russian language from a distance. In general, distance education contributes to students’ developing creativity and responsibility. Of course, in this process, both teachers and students face difficulties that do not arise in traditional teaching. In the context of this study, the teacher performs functions such as coordinating the cognitive process, adjusting the taught lesson, making recommendations for preparing an individual curriculum, and guiding the educational process in Turkey. The aim here is to create a virtual space for speaking Russian with native Russian speakers using a web camera to overcome the foreign language barrier and to apply the acquired knowledge during the conversation. This approach increases Turkish students’ motivation to learn Russian as well as their interest in learning, and their vocabularies are enriched as well; the learners develop communication skills, and cultural and information exchange takes place among the teleconference participants. In addition to creating the virtual learning space, we use IT to present Russian–language documentaries and feature films followed by discussions of the contents. These discussions help build on the learners’ communication skills and expand their creative potential and horizons. We conclude based on our results that the disadvantages teachers&nbsp;face in Russian–language distance education can be partially mitigated by using the methods we describe. Using information and communication technologies will improve the quality of Russian education in Turkey. Moreover, these methods will not only make the learning process interesting and exciting but also make it effective and minimize the disadvantages of teaching Russian abroad as a foreign language.GENİŞLETİLMİŞ TÜRKÇE ÖZETGünümüzde bilgi teknolojileri, hayatımızın bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin hızla gelişmesi ve teknik kaynakların kullanılmasıyla internetin artan popülaritesi, eğitim sürecinde bilgi teknolojilerinin entegrasyonuna neden olmuştur. Pandemiyle ilişkili olarak geçtiğimiz yıl meydana gelen olaylar, tüm dünya hükümetlerini korona virüs enfeksiyonunun yayılma riskini azaltmak için her türlü çabayı göstermeye zorlamıştır. Böylelikle tüm dünya uzaktan eğitime geçmek zorunda kalmış ve bu durum öğrenim sürecini evden çıkmadan sürekli hale getirmeye imkân sağlamıştır. İnternet teknolojisinin, elektronik kütüphanelerin, eğitimsel ve yöntemsel multimedya materyallerinin, e-laboratuvar atölyelerinin kullanımı hiç şüphesiz gerekli bilgilerin elde edilmesini, görselleştirilmesini ve sistemleştirilmesini, birbirinden çok uzakta bulunan birkaç kullanıcı arasında bilgi alışverişinin gerçekleşebilmesini, nesneleri ve durumları incelemek amacıyla modelleme koşullarının yaratılmasını sağlamaktadır. Bu durum eğitim sürecine dahil olan tüm katılımcıların interaktif bir etkileşim kurabilmesini sağlayan güncellemelerin edinilmesine ve bilgi düzeyinin artmasına yardımcı olmaktadır. Aynı zamanda uzaktan eğitim gören öğrencilerde internetteki bilgi kaynaklarını kullanma becerilerinde gözlenen eksikliklerin neden olduğu birtakım olumsuz sonuçlar da gözlenmektedir. Öğrencilerde bilgi kültürü yeterince gelişmemekte ve buna bağlı olarak çoğu zaman bilgi üzerinde nasıl bir çalışma yapmaları gerektiği konusunda öğrenciler yeteneksiz görünmektedirler. Bu nedenle ilgili materyalin tam anlamıyla özümsenmesine geçiş her zaman gerçekleşmemektedir.&nbsp;Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de bilgi teknolojilerinin kullanılmasıyla yabancı dil olarak Rusçanın uzaktan eğitim yoluyla öğrenim sürecinin sağladığı avantajlar ve beraberinde getirdiği dezavantajlar incelenmiştir. Uygulanan uzaktan eğitim formatının güçlü ve zayıf yanları belirlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda bireysel öğrenim hızına göre kullanışlı, esnek ve değişken oluşu, zaman ve para tasarrufu sağlaması, eğitim materyallerine ulaşılabilirlik imkânı vermesi uzaktan eğitimin güçlü yanlarını ifade etmektedir. Öte yandan doğrudan iletişimin kurulamaması, zayıf bir duygusal bağ kurulabilmesi, çoğunlukla bağımsız bir çalışma ortamı olması, teknik aksaklıklar, telaffuz ve vurgu tonlamasındaki düzenin ayarlanmasında ve iletişimsel oyunlarda yaşanan bağlantısal zorluklar uzaktan eğitimin dezavantajları olarak belirlenmektedir. Tüm bu durumlar göz önünde bulundurulduğunda uzaktan Rus dili öğreniminin sağladığı avantajların yanı sıra dezavantajlarının da bulunduğunu belirtmek gerekmektedir. Genellikle uzaktan&nbsp;eğitim, öğrencilerin yaratıcılık gelişimine ve sorumluluk almalarına katkı sağlamaktadır. Hiç şüphesiz, bu süreçte hem eğitmenler hem öğrenciler geleneksel öğrenimde gözlenmeyen birtakım zorluklarla karşı karşıya kalmaktadırlar. Eğitmen bilişsel sürecin koordine edilmesi, dersin öğretim faaliyetlerinin düzenlenmesi, bireysel ders müfredatının hazırlanmasında önerilerde bulunulması ve Türkiye’de eğitim sürecine rehberlik edilmesi görevlerini yerine getirmektedir. Burada hedeflenen web kamera kullanarak telekonferans yapan anadili Rusça olanlarla yabancı dil engelinin üstesinden gelinmesinde ve edinilmiş bilginin konuşma esnasında uygulanabilmesinde sanal bir Rusça konuşma alanı yaratabilmektir. Söz konusu yaklaşımın sonucunda Türk öğrencilerin Rusça öğrenmedeki motivasyonu ve öğrenmeye yönelik ilgileri artmakta, kelime dağarcıkları zenginleşmekte, iletişim becerileri gelişmekte, telekonferans katılımcıları arasında kültürel ve bilgi aktarımı gerçekleşmektedir. Bununla birlikte Rusça belgeseller ile sanatsal filmlerin gösterilmesi ve daha sonrasında bu materyallerin sözel olarak incelenmesi öğrencilerin yaratıcı potansiyellerini ve vizyonlarını geliştirir, aynı zamanda onlara iletişimsel becerilerin edinilmesinde olumlu bir dinamik kazandırır. Bu yüzden tanımlanan ilgili yöntemlerin kullanılmasıyla Rusçanın uzaktan öğrenim sürecinde eğitmenlerin karşılaştıkları dezavantajların kısmi olarak ortadan kaldırılmasına dair sonuçlar şu çerçevede değerlendirilebilir. Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin kullanılmasıyla Türkiye’deki Rusça eğitim kalitesinin gelişeceği, söz konusu yöntemlerin ise yalnızca öğrenim sürecini ilgi çekici ve heyecan verici kılmayacağı, aynı zamanda yabancı dil olarak yurtdışında Rusça öğretiminin neden olduğu dezavantajları en aza indirgemeyi ve onu daha etkili kılmayı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

2014 yılında iktidara gelen Narendra Modi, 2019 yılında yeniden Hindistan’ın Başbakanı olarak seçildi. Başbakan Modi, uzun yıllardır tartışmalı bir siyasetçi olmuştur. Milliyetçiliği sadece bir ideoloji ya da gelenek olarak değil, Müslümanlara karşı sistematik dışlama yapmak maksadıyla da kullanmaktadır. Bu sebeple milliyetçi parti BJP önderliğinde yeniden iktidara gelmesi, Hindistan’daki insan hakları ihlallerinin büyüyeceği yönünde endişeleri arttırdı. Özellikle Hint çetelerinin sık sık Müslümanlara saldırması, devlet tarafından tolere edilen bir gerçek. Özellikle polisin yaşanan saldırıları görmesine rağmen bunlara müdahale etmemesi, ayrımcılığın boyutlarını göstermektedir. Milliyetçi parti BJP ve Modi hükümetine yönelik endişeler sadece küçük olaylarla sınırlı değil. 20 yıl önce Modi, Hindistan’ın Gujarat eyalerinde Başkan iken bir yıla yakın devam eden şiddet olayları ve bu olaylarda yerel hükümetin ve polisin rolü, günümüzde artmakta olan tansiyona yönelik endişeleri haklı çıkaran önemli bir tarihi örnektir. “2002 Gujarat olayları” olarak bilinen şiddet yanlısı gösteriler, Hintli hacıları taşıyan bir trenin yanması sonucu patlak vermişti. Sonraki yıllarda yapılan çalışmalarda trenin kazara içerden başlayan bir yangınla tutuştuğu anlaşılmış olsa da, bu o dönemde Müslüman karşıtı şiddeti önlemeye yetersiz kalmıştır. Olaylarda binin üzerinde insan hayatını kaybetmiş, 60 binden fazla Müslüman eyaletten kaçarak sığınma kamplarına yerleşmek zorunda kalmıştır.&nbsp;Çalışmanın birinci bölümünde Gujarat olayları ele alınmış ve bu olaylarda polisin rolü incelenmiştir. Yaşana olaylar üzerine hazırlanan raporlar, görgü tanıklarının ve mağdurların ifadesinden hareketle, Hint polisinin bilerek olaylara müdahale etmediğini ortaya koymaktadır. Saldırı bölgelerinden polis istasyonlarına yapılan telefon aramaları “sizi kurtarmakla ilgili bir emir almadık” cevabıyla karşılaşmış, polis gözetiminde Müslüman mahalleler tespit edilerek ateşe verilmiştir. Yine bu raporlarda, Modi’nin ve milliyetçi BJP parti mensuplarının olaylarda aktif rol aldığına dair işaretler bulunmuştur. Bunun üzerine Hindistan Yüksek Mahkemesi Modi hakkında bir soruşturma başlatmış, bir çok Avrupa ülkesi Modi’ye ülkeye girme yasağı&nbsp;&nbsp;koymuştur. Fakat Modi’ye karşı bu tavır onun Başbakan seçilmesi ile birlikte yumuşamıştır. Fakat günümüzde Modi ve BJP’nin açıktan Müslümanları hedef alan açıklamaları ve Müslümanlara ayrımcılığı meşrulaştıran kanunlar, 20. Yıldönümüne gelen Gujarat olaylarının bir benzerinin, bütün ülke sathında yaşanmasına yol açabileceği gerçeğini göstermektedir. Üstelik Modi’nin Müslümanlara yönelik polis şiddetini kışkırtması, benzer olayların çok daha büyük felaketler doğurma ihtimalini göstermektedir.&nbsp;İkinci bölümde ise, polisliğin kötü kullanılması dört başlık altında toplanmıştır. Bunlar:a. “Tarafgirlik”: karşılıklı iki grup arasında çıkan olaylara müdahale eden polisin, bir tarafı diğer tarafa tercih ederek hareket ettiği durumlar için kullanılmaktadır. Polis, olaylara müdahale ederken, Hintli götericilere müdahale etmezken, Müslümanlara yönelik keyfi tutuklamalara gitmiştir.b. “Önyargı”: Yani bir grubun tamamının veya çoğunun suç davranışı potansiyeline sahip olduğu algısıdır. Hindistan konseptinde Sabarmati Ekspresi’nin Godhra’da yakılmasının ardından Gujarat’taki tüm Müslüman cemaati olaydan sorumlu tutulması bir tarafgirlik örneğidir. Üstelik yapılan incelemenin ardından yangının trenin içinde kazara çıktığı ortaya çıkmasına rağmen, bu yaklaşım değişmemiştir.c. ‘Farklılaşma’: sosyal statülerine göre polisin davranışını bir gruptan diğerine değiştirmesidir. Örneğin Gujarat şiddeti sırasında Ahmedabad’daki ayaklanmalardan birinde çatışmalar o kadar şiddetlendi ki polis silah kullanmak zorunda kaldı. Ancak olayların ardından polisin daha çok Müslümanları hedef aldığı anlaşıldı. Bu ve benzeri örnekler, polisin şiddetin kaynağına farklı bir yaklaşım sergilediğini göstermektedir.d. ‘Ayrımcılık’: polisin herhangi bir hukuki sebep olmaksızın bireylere veya belirli bir gruba yönelik önyargılı tutumlarıdır. Reiner ayrımcılık sürecini altı türe ayırır: kategorik, istatistiksel, geçişken, etkileşimsel, durumsal ve kurumsal. Hindistan’daki polis eylemlerinde kategorik ve kurumsal ayrımcılık ön plana çıkmaktadır. Kategorik ayrımcılık, ayrımcılığın somut anlamını ifade eder. Gujarat isyanları sırasında, Hindistan polisinin önyargılı tutumları, basitçe Müslümanlara yönelik kategorik ayrımcılık olarak açıklanabilir.&nbsp;Gujarat olaylarında polislerin belirgin bir bicinde kurumsal olarak Müslümanlara yönelik ayrımcılık yapması, şiddeti arttıran ve daha çok insanın canını kaybetmesine yol açan bir olgudur. Üstelik kurumsal şiddeti ortaya çıkaran en önemli nokta, polisin dışlayıcı tutumunun yerel yönetim tarafından desteklenmiş olmasıdır. Bu durum ise polisin politize olması başlığında daha detaylı olarak incelenmiştir. Bu başlıkta temel soru; eğer polis halkı denetliyor ise polisi kimin denetleyeceğidir. Polisin Müslümanlara karşı hukuk dışı tutumu, onu denetlemesi gereken kurum tarafından desteklendiğinde şiddetin büyümesi kaçınılmaz olmaktadır. Nitekim BJP’nin sivil toplum hareketi olarak çıktığı dönemden itibaren aşırıcı milliyetçi tutumu, iktidara geldikleri bölgelerde yönetim biçimi haline gelmekte, böylece polisin Müslümanlara karşı keyfi tutumu meşrulaşmaktadır. Hatta sistematik şiddetin karşısında duran kolluk kuvvetleri, iktidarın mobbing uygulamasına maruz kalmıştır.&nbsp;Sonuçta aşırı Hint milliyetçiliği, devletin ideolojisine dönüşürken, polislerin Müslümanlara karşı dışlayıcı uygulamaları normalleşmeye başlamaktadır. Çıkan olaylar, Hint toplumunu parçalamakta ve ülke içinde azınlık konumundaki Müslümanları güvensiz hale getirmektedir. Modi, 2002 yılında elindeki gücü şiddeti sonlandırmak için kullanmayarak, olayların büyümesine göz yummuş ve bu çatışmadan siyasi bir çıkar elde etmek istemiştir. Günümüzde bütün Hindistan’ı saran ayrımcılığın, büyük şiddet olaylarını çıkarma potansiyeli görülmeli ve ülkedeki polisin rolü yeniden gözden geçirilmelidir.

The Aras and Kura Rivers are extremely significant water resources that support multiple economic activities in all countries and regions where their branches extend. The prosperous geographic conditions of Aras and Kura basin are acknowledged by all regional societies and have witnessed a multitude of civilizations, establishments, and economic and cultural activities for millennia. The economic activities surrounding the rivers’ tributary streams have a prominent role in this region’s geographic value.Upon examining Azerbaijan’s stream resources, we observe that water management in the country is not an easy undertaking. Two main rivers (Kura/Turkey–Georgia–Azerbaijan, Aras/Turkey–Iran–Azerbaijan) are hydrographically sourced outside the country’s borders. Access to the benefits of these international cross-border rivers is crucial for the country in both geostrategic and geoeconomics terms. Our study focuses on the Aran (Kür-Araz) Economic and Geographic Economic Region revealing the need for further strategic and economic assessment, as it is located between the Aras and Kura Rivers (this region is also named after these rivers).Scarcity of water resources is a serious problem in Azerbaijan. This challenge may not be perceived in the Azerbaijani highlands but it is causing some issues in plains and lowlands and is a crucial factor in the direction of economic activities. Indeed, the cities around the streams were formed by various economic regions’ growth or support. The expansion of economic activities such as industry and commerce is evolving. The direct and indirect impacts of streams on formation and growth of the cities is undeniable (Ağdaş, Ağcabedi, Beyleqan, Bilesuvar, Berde, Zerdab, İmişli, Yevlah, Kürdemir, Göyçay, Neftçala, Saatlı, Sabirabad, Salyan, Ucar, and Hacıqabul rayons; cities like Mingeçevir, Şirvan, Elibayramlı, and Yevlah). This region is distinguished by its efficient geographic conditions, mainly for agricultural activities, followed by industry, transportation, and energy. Water resources have been the most important tool for enriching the region with these advantages. It is also important to meet water demands&nbsp;in Azerbaijan, as it cannot produce enough technology, and its economy remains directed by self-sufficient agricultural production. Water resources are essential, not only in agricultural production but also to provide agricultural products for processing through industrial activities.The Aras River’s Azerbaijan side was affected by political geography incidents in 1990s. While agricultural products were limited in line with economic interest prior to independence, the diversity was increased following independence. It would be insufficient to consider the growth of the region only in terms of agriculture. Growth in industry, commerce, and transportation has also occurred in the Aran (Kür-Araz) region. The Aran (Kür-Araz) economic region is an area that demonstrates how the same geography was used for two different aspects of economic activity—prior to independence and following independence, although not every field in the same activity type or in terms of activity spread is equally important. Some cities are more prominent in energy and industry and others in transportation, industry, and agriculture. It is well known that following the intense exploitation of recent human activities in the Aras basin, the natural resources of the basin have been ruined; the water ecosystem has been damaged by nearby lakes; and the stream basin has been polluted. Irrigation systems require improvement, and human activities need to be executed with a more systematic and planned approach in order to increase the economic efficiency and environmental integrity of the region. Even if these goals are actualized, it should not be forgotten that Azerbaijan needs to position itself well in order to adapt to this ever changing world. Aras should not be seen as a mere international river, but as the core of many resources and economic activities in the country; thus, its geoeconomic importance should not be overlooked. From a geoeconomic perspective the people of the region (underdeveloped or developing countries), with geographies that are destined to coexist in our developing and constantly changing world, must design both interstate and domestic policies well. The primary objective is undoubtedly for countries to make good use of and to protect their assets. When the term geoeconomy was first introduced in the post-Cold War period, regionalism activities accelerated, as witnessed all over the world. The establishment of collaborative protective activities with regard to the Kura and Aras Rivers, which are in common use of Turkey, Iran, Georgia, and Azerbaijan, should be considered that might reveal shortages in joint foreign policymaking. It is imperative to handle all details of cross-border streams and establish real regional associations.
