Introduction to Turkey

Sat, 22 Sep 2007 01:40:00 +0300

People's perception of travel has been tragically and drastically altered by world events. And Turkey lies disturbingly close to a tumultuous region in upheaval. If that weren't enough, Turkey has been unlucky enough to succumb to a series of events in the past decade that includes terrorism, earthquakes, and a relentless hammering of the local economy. On the surface, any rebound of the tourist economy seems farfetched. But this trend of stagnation will only continue if people continue to be influenced by fear of the unknown; because people who know just can't get enough of Turkey.

Shrine of Jalaluddin Rumi, Konya

Situated at an altitude of 1016 meters in the south central region of the vast Anatolian steppe, the city of Konya is famous far beyond the borders of Turkey. The city's renown derives from the nearby ruins of Catal Huyuk and, more so, from the shrine of Rumi, the great Sufi poet (1207-1273). Fifty kilometers southeast of Konya, the Neolithic settlement of Catal Huyuk has been dated to 7500 BC, making it one of the oldest known human communities. Though only partially excavated and restored, the hilltop settlement covers 15 acres and reveals sophisticated town planning, religious art and ceremonial buildings. Remains of numerous other ancient settlements have been discovered on the Konya plain, giving evidence that humans have long favored this region.

The city of Konya has been known by different names through the ages. Nearly 4000 years ago the Hittites called it Kuwanna, to the Phrygians it was Kowania, to the Romans Iconium and to the Turks, Konya. During Roman times, the city was visited by St. Paul and because of its location on ancient trade routes, it continued to thrive during the Byzantine era. Konyas golden age was in the 12th and 13th centuries when it was the capital of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum. The Seljuk Turks had ruled a great state encompassing Iran, Iraq and Anatolia. With the decline of the Seljuk state in the early 12th century, different parts of the empire became independent, including the Sultanate of Rum. Between 1150 and 1300, the Sultans of Rum beautified Konya, erecting many lovely buildings and mosques. It was during this period that Rum.. ( devamı )
