[gothic-l] A fascinating history project

[turktarihi]

Dear Colleagues,

Since its establishment, YENI TURKIYE has become one of the most serious and
prestigious research and publication institutes in Turkey. There have been
conducted many researches on social and historical themes and outcomes have
been published as the special editions of its academic journal, bimonthly
"Yeni Turkiye Dergisi".

In December 1999, we have accomplished 'Ottoman Research Project' and
published 'OSMANLI', 12 volumes (Turkish, 9200 pages), and "The GREAT
OTTOMAN-TURKISH CIVILISATION", 4 volumes (English, 3650 pages), of which
Prof. Halil Inalcik was the head of editorial board. Eminent professors all
over the world have contributed to this project with their precious
articles. Prof. Halil Inalcik admitted that "OSMANLI has been the most
comprehensive and serious study in the field of Ottoman History", and
confirming this, the Turkish Association of the Writers granted the
"Research of the year" award to 'OSMANLI' in 2000.

Our latest project 'PROJECT TURK', planned to be published in the autumn of
2001 (20 volumes in Turkish and 5 volumes in English), is going to comprise
the whole history of Turks. The primary objective is a comprehensive
analyses of history of Turks and their civilisation throughout the known
4000 year-existence of the this people. After the publication of this
collection, we plan to organise an international conference evaluating the
'OSMANLI' and the 'TURK' projects in ISTANBUL.

Our project is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of
Turkey, Turkish Historical Society, and various private firms and
institutions.
