When the illustrious Emperor Justinian died in 565 AD, a new era began in the Eastern Roman Empire that would come to be known as the Byzantine Empire and involved various historical cases. Of course, this was also valid for the Balkans region, which had been under imperial rule for many years. In particular, the arrival of the Avars in the Balkans to the north of the Danube River, their strengthened position there, and the actions Slavs took are seen as remarkable developments in the second half of the 6th century AD.According to historical sources, the first contact between Eastern Romans and the Avars took place in the last years of Emperor Justinian I. The emperor had applied policies such as partnership or tribute payments to the Avars. But after Justinian I, Justin II ascended the throne and rejected these policies. In addition, the Avars had dominated many tribes, destroyed the Gepids, and caused the Lombards to move toward Italy. Justin II adopted an uncompromising method while the Avars were establishing their authority in regions of Southeastern Europe. Thus, the Avars and some tribes under their rule started to attack, to which the empire reacted and subsequently made a treaty. Although this treaty provided peace in the Balkans and its frontiers for a while, it caused the empire’s alliance with the Göktürks against the Sassanians to break down. Nevertheless, the treaty was requisite for the presence and security of the empire. The prominent figure in providing peace was Tiberius II, who was commander of Justin II. Tiberius II had personally contacted the Avars, both through fighting and negotiating.After these developments, the commander Tiberius II Constantine came to rule the Eastern Roman Empire in 574 AD as Caesar and then in 578 AD as Augustus. The relations between the Avars and the empire increased and intensified during his reign. Contrary to the policy of his predecessor, Tiberius II contemplated using diplomacy as a Byzantine tradition due to his experiences with the Avars. However, the extensive invasion of the Slavs and the&nbsp;beginning of their settlements in the Balkans also had occurred for the first time during this period. This was an important event in a historical context. Large crowds had entered the Balkans, started invading the entire region including Thrace and setting up new settlements, and also devastated Greece. The Empire could not sufficiently respond to this invasion due to other problems the empire was experiencing, such as the Sassanian wars in the east and a lack of military forces. Therefore, Emperor Tiberius II Constantine asked the famous leader of the Avars, Bayan Khagan, for help. Khagan accepted and organized attacks on Slavic tribes, entering the territory of the empire. This seems to have been the right method for the empire and was successful. The Slavs had been defeated, and the Avars had acted as allies in this situation.Despite its convenient appearance, Tiberius II Constantine’s policy did not last long, for the Avars were demanding Sirmium again. This city was an important center for empire due to it being located at the intersection of the Danube and Sava rivers and having been an outpost over the Balkans for a long time. For the Avars, Sirmium was an important target that functioned as a gateway to the lands south of the Danube River. The Gepids had captured this city while it belonged to the Eastern Romans. Afterward when the Avars had eliminated the entire Gepid Kingdom, Eastern Romans recaptured the city. Thus, the Avars claimed that they should have Sirmium and sent envoys to the emperor to take the city without a fight. The emperor met with them twice but could not achieve a successful outcome, as the Avars’ demands were unacceptable to him. At the same time, he commanded to prepare for war. There were not enough soldiers in the Balkans. As a result, he wanted to form an alliance with the Lombards. However, this plan failed before it even started.While Emperor Tiberius II Constantine was dealing with these conjunctures, the Avars laid siege to Sirmium. Much time passed, and inconclusive battles had also been started, but the empire remained unable to succeed in this war. Once famine began in the city and the people fell into difficult situations, the emperor was forced to make peace with the Avars. The terms of the treaty involved the evacuation of the inhabitants, tribute being paid by the empire, and the city being surrendered to the Avars. This took place in 582 AD, shortly before the death of Tiberius II Constantine. In the years that followed, the Avar threat would increase alongside the Slav problems, and Eastern Roman authority would decline in the Balkans. The status of the Avars in the Balkans and their activities toward the empire were also observed during the reigns of the Emperors Maurice, Phocas, and Heraclius.&nbsp;

With the capture of Constantinople by the armies of the Fourth Crusade in 1204, a Latin Empire was established based in Constantinople. Afterward, the Latins signed a treaty in order to seize the lands owned by the former Byzantine Empire. Thus, a period of intense military and political struggle began with rivals in both Anatolia and the Balkans. The greatest competitor in the Balkans was the Second Bulgarian Empire, while the Byzantine Empire of Nicaea drew attention in Anatolia. In this context, the Latin Empire of Constantinople’s struggle between 1204-1207 with the Second Bulgarian Empire constitutes the subject of the article.The main reason for the disagreements between the Latins and the Bulgarians is that the Bulgarians also laid claim to the lands belonging to the former Byzantine Empire. However, the Latins’ conceited point of view toward the Bulgarians in particular led to an increase in mutual enmity. The Byzantine locals in the region, especially in the area of Thrace, requested support from the Bulgarian Tsar Kaloyan against the Latins, which gave the Bulgarians the opportunity they had sought, and they started war with the Latins on this point.The first phase of the struggle was the Battle of Adrianople in April 1205. When the Latins besieged the city in order to suppress the rebellion in Adrianople, Tsar Kaloyan responded to his Byzantine allies’ call for aid. After Kaloyan’s first campaign in Thrace, the Latins and Bulgarians engaged in a tight struggle, with the winner of this battle being the Second Bulgarian Empire. As for the Latins, they’d been severely defeated, Emperor Baudouin I had been captured, and many vital nobles had been killed. The Latins retreated under the reorganizational efforts of Geoffrey of Villehardouin, a leading figure in the Latin army. Afterwards, the Latins were left without a leader due to Baudouin I’s capture and appointed Henry of Flanders, the brother of the ex-emperor, first as regent and then as emperor in August 1206.During the reign of Henry of Flanders, the Latins’ struggle with the Bulgarians continued under a different understanding. The first target of Tsar Kaloyan, who’d since embarked on his second campaign to Thrace with his army consisting of Bulgarians, Cumans, and Vlachs at the beginning of 1206, was the Latın advanced garrison in Rousion (Keşan in modern Turkey). The Latins, had to retreat as a result of the fierce attacks of the Bulgarian joint armies and suffered heavy losses. Tsar Kaloyan’s next target was Adrianople and Didymoteicho, two important cities of Thrace. By this point, the local Byzantines in the region had grown afraid of Tsar Kaloyan’s cruelty and sought an alliance with the Latins. Meanwhile, Henry of Flanders saw this offer as an opportunity to disrupt the alliance between the Byzantines and Bulgarians and to reorganize the balance in the region. Thus, the Latins and Byzantines became allies against the Bulgarians. Meanwhile the Bulgarian Tsar Kaloyan lifted his sieges on Adrianople and Didymoteicho and withdrew once he became aware of the friendly relations that had been established between the two sides.After this critical phase in Latin-Bulgarian relations, the Latins began gaining the upper hand against the Bulgarians under the leadership of Henry of Flanders. As a matter of fact, the Latins who’d infiltrated the Bulgarian borders and attacked were able to obtain a massive booty, whereas the Bulgarians could only attempt an offensive once the Latins intensified their struggle in Anatolia.The Latin rule had increased roughly between 1205-1207 with regard to Latin-Bulgarian political relations and entered a new phase with the unexpected death of the Bulgarian Tsar Kaloyan in October 1207.&nbsp;

Ivan Mazepa (1639-1709) administered the Cossack Hetmanate as its Hetman for 22 years from 1607 until his death in 1709 and placed significant impacts on Ukrainian lands. His years in the dominion are recognized as one of if not the most successful periods in the history of the Ukrainian Cossack. The education he received from his childhood, his travels to different countries in Europe, and the experiences he gained regarding important tasks during the reigns of his precursors played a great role in Hetman Mazepa becoming an experienced and talented administrator. After becoming Hetman, Mazepa attempted to strengthen his authority in domestic politics and encountered bitter struggles against opposition groups. He reestablished the lease system, which brought large income to the treasury, as well as the regiment system, which was an important administrative military institution. In this way, Ukraine was able to achieve economic stability and welfare. In addition, he managed to unite the Right-bank Ukraine with Left-bank Ukraine and always aimed to preserve Ukraine’s autonomous status. He attached great importance to the progress of art, culture, and science and provided moral and material support to all who were talented in these domains.Hetman Mazepa had attempted to play safe against the regency of Sophia Alekseyevna (1657-1704) and Prince Vasily V. Golitsyn. As a wise and crafty statesman, Mazepa waited for the most favorable conditions and made political and economic gains by supporting Peter the Great (1672-1725) during his political coup against the Regent Sophia. He played an active role in Russia’s domestic and foreign policy throughout the era of Peter the Great. Mazepa supported Peter the Great in solving military issues and found his own place in Russia’s domestic and foreign politics and in the formation of a new intellectual culture. In this way, Mazepa managed to become one of the key figures in the early phase of the Russian Empire’s founding. During the Great Northern War, the conflict between Peter the Great’s plans and Ukrainian interests led Hetman Mazepa to make the most important a decision of his life. At the Battle of Poltava in 1709 between King Charles XII of Sweden (1682-1718) and Peter the Great, Hetman Mazepa defected to the Swedes in his and Ukraine’s interests. Their defeat by Peter the Great at the Battle of Poltava led them to come under Ottoman rule. Mazepa’s defection to the Swedes made him a symbol of treason and evil in Russian historiography. In Ukrainian historiography and in the eyes of the Ukrainian people, however, he is remembered as a successful Hetman and national hero for what he did for Ukraine.From the middle of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th century when important events eventually occurred for Russia and Ukraine, Hetman Mazepa more wisely continued the policies initiated by his precursors, Doroshenko (1627-1676) and Samoylovych (1630-1690), in the interests of Ukraine. Hetman Mazepa became one of the main characters whose deeds have left their mark on the history of Ukraine and Russia. Our study investigates and explains Mazepa’s life as well as the political events and economic, social, and cultural activities and developments that occurred during his rule. The overriding goal in this study is to introduce Turkish researchers to Ivan Mazepa as an important figure in the history of Ukraine and Russia by taking into account his connections with the Ottoman Empire. The article mainly benefits from Russian archival documents and various primary sources, in addition to also consulting Ukrainian and Polish sources. Ottoman archival sources have been excluded from the study, which only additionally reviewed existing works in the Turkish literature.&nbsp;

Rumelia refers to the area containing the places the Ottoman State conquered in Europe and covers the entire territory of the Ottoman State in Europe. Skopje was one of the most important cities in the region, as in 1390, the Ottoman-Turkish city had been quickly overtaken by the Ottoman government. Ottoman housing and zoning activities were sufficiently crucial in forming the city’s identity. In the architectural tradition of Skopje in particular, places commissioned by administrators and nobles had special meaning. Examples are found of civic architecture as well as religious and administrative architecture from the past that have survived to the present.The city of Skopje was the center of the Beylerbeyi [city administrators] and had several palaces and mansions that were built there. One of these was the Ali Hıfzî Pasha Mansion in Bardovci village between Skopje and Tetovo and has partially survived to the present.The Skopje Muhtasarrif [Ottoman tax collector] Ali Hıfzî Pasha belonged to a noble family of Albanians from the Dukagjin Highlands, part of the Rec Lok dynasty. Since 1689, he had served the Ottoman Empire, while his brothers served the state alongside their father at the head Recep Pasha. The reign of Ali Hıfzî Pasha as pasha occurred when the Balkans and the Ottoman State were undergoing radical changes in general.The lifting of the Janissary Quarry and the fundamental reforms that followed, the intense currents of nationalism that came with the French Revolution, the heavy consequences of the Serbian uprisings, the rebellions of the Albanian Pashas, and the turmoil in the Peloponnese region had forced the state to change. And in the midst of this, Skopje Nâzır Ali Hıfzî Pasha was given too many duties. He had evidently done these things successfully and been appreciated both by the people and by the state. Ali Hıfzî Pasha gained many rank, particularly during the reign of Mahmud II.&nbsp;As a fair, intelligent, and intellectual Ottoman pasha beloved by the Muslim and non-Muslim peoples, extensive knowledge about Ali Hıfzî Pasha is found in EuropeanAli Hıfzî Pasha Mansion is an outstanding example in all aspects of Ottoman residence architecture in Rumelia. Avzi Pasha Mansion is how it was known by the people of the region and in the literature, as it had made a name for itself when it was being built. This mansion is also said to have been famous as the most ostentatious architectural structure of the region during the period, a mansion even more magnificent than the residences built by the Serbian King Miloš.Architecturally, Ali Hıfzî Pasha Mansion contains the delicacy of Mahmud II dynasty as well as the architecture of the region, and the house is invisible from the outside of the street where the traditional architectural principle had been applied. It is located at the center of a group of buildings designed for different functions and is located on an area of approximately 18-20 decares surrounded by walls. It is surrounded by 8 square bastions and 5-meter high enclosed walls. The Harem and Selamlık buildings of equal size were placed symmetrically, and the mabeyn [room separating the men’s and women’s rooms] structure, which was used as a treasury between the two buildings, was designed as a unifying building. In the kulliye [complex], structures such as an oven, forge, animal barn, kitchen, and outbuildings were placed properly.In addition, the mansion had a magnificent flower garden with plants from various parts of the region, and a small stream adorning the surrounding area attracted attention. The interior design of the mansion draws attention with its oval sofa plan and Turkish Baroque style characteristic of the period. With its unique location and Istanbul style, Ali Hıfzî Pasha Mansion was and remains monumental in the Balkans.After Ali Hıfzî Pasha left Skopje under imperative, the mansion was later passed down to his grandchildren during World War I. The mansion was badly damaged during World War II, after which it was turned into the property of the Yugoslav People’s Army by the Yugoslav State, which was established on these lands in 1958; they demolished many parts of the mansion and erected buildings as they saw fit.Afterward, the mansion was neglected and left to rot. In 1969, the Skopje City Council for the Protection of Cultural Monuments” decided to rebuild this monumental mansion according to its original detailed plan, which was requested by the famous architect Prof. Branislav Kojič. However, although the plan and even the model were made, this decision was unfortunately not realized, and the mansion was left to its fate.Today, Ali Hıfzî Pasha Mansion is under the protection of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of North Macedonia and is in a dilapidated state. Although it has been neglected, the foundations of the mansion, the main entrance gate, and the fortification walls are still standing. Ali Hıfzî Pasha Mansion could neither be preserved nor destroyed, and this resulted in the loss of one of the most magnificent buildings of the period and regional architecture in Ottoman Rumelian lands.&nbsp;

After plagiarism check, the eligible ones are evaluated by Editor-in-Chief for their originality, methodology, the importance of the subject covered and compliance with the journal scope. Editor-in-Chief evaluates manuscripts for their scientific content without regard to ethnic origin, gender, citizenship, religious belief or political philosophy of the authors and ensures a fair double-blind peer review of the selected manuscripts.​ The selected manuscripts are sent to at least two national/international referees for evaluation and publication decision is given by Editor-in-Chief upon modification by the authors in accordance with the referees’ claims. Editor-in-Chief does not allow any conflicts of interest between the authors, editors and reviewers and is responsible for final decision for publication of the manuscripts in the Journal. Reviewers’ judgments must be objective. Reviewers’ comments on the following aspects are expected while conducting the review. <div style="text-align: left;font-size: 10pt;">- Does the manuscript contain new and significant information?</div><div style="text-align: left;">- Does the abstract clearly and accurately describe the content of the manuscript?</div> <div style="text-align: left;">- Is the problem significant and concisely stated?</div> <div style="text-align: left;">- Are the methods described comprehensively?</div> <div style="text-align: left;">- Are the interpretations and consclusions justified by the results?</div> <div style="text-align: left;">- Is adequate references made to other Works in the field?</div> <div style="text-align: left;">- Is the language acceptable?</div> Reviewers must ensure that all the information related to submitted manuscripts is kept as confidential and must report to the editor if they are aware of copyright infringement and plagiarism on the author’s side. A reviewer who feels unqualified to review the topic of a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. The editor informs the reviewers that the manuscripts are confidential information and that this is a privileged interaction. The reviewers and editorial board cannot discuss the manuscripts with other persons. The anonymity of the referees is important.
