Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) In modern aesthetic cloth bdg. Foolscap 8vo. (18 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script. 122, [3] p., 1 map of Baghdad railways. The Baghdad Railway, also known as the Berlin-Baghdad railway was built from 1910 to 1940 to connect Berlin with the then Ottoman city of Baghdad, from where the Germans wanted to establish a port on the Persian Gulf, with a 1,600 kilometers (1,000 mi) line through modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. Completion of the project took several decades and by the outbreak of World War I, the railway was still 960 km (600 miles) away from its intended objective. The last stretch to Baghdad was built in the late 1930s and the first train to travel from Istanbul to Baghdad departed in 1940. Funding, engineering, and construction were mainly provided by the German Empire through Deutsche Bank and the Philipp Holzmann company, which in the 1890s had built the Anatolian Railway (Anatolische Eisenbahn) connecting Constantinople, Ankara, and Konya. The Ottoman Empire wished to maintain its control of the Arabian Peninsula and to expand its influence across the Red Sea into the nominally Ottoman (until 1914) Khedivate of Egypt, which had been under British military control since the Urabi Revolt in 1882. If the railway had been completed, the Germans would have gained access to suspected oil fields in Mesopotamia, as well as a connection to the port of Basra on the Persian Gulf. The latter would have provided access to the eastern parts of the German colonial empire and avoided the Suez Canal, which was controlled by British and French interests. The railway became a source of international disputes during the years immediately preceding World War I. Rohrbach was a Baltic German writer, concerned with "world politics." Paul Rohrbach, the Settlement Commissioner for Germany's colonies in Southwest Africa from 1903 to 1906 and one of the most outspoken promoters of German imperialism, reflected on this international attraction, stating that "the history of the plans of the Baghdad Railway has stood on its own moment in high grade under the effects of political history, Turkish or otherwise. Not only England, [but] especially also Russia take at the outset the right of defense through several claims" in this study. Hegira 1331 = Gregorian 1915. Özege 7050. First and Only Edition.

Tuz Khormato, along with Altun Kupri, Amerli, Bashir, Bustamli, Mahalabiyah, Qarah Tappah, Sulaiman Bek, Tal Afar, Taza Khurmatu, and Yankjah, make up the largest Turkmen-majority cities in Iraq, while Mosul, Kirkuk, Kifri, Daquq, Muqdadiyah, Jalawla, and Saadiyah have significant Turkmen minority populations". "The existence of the Iraqi Turkmen has been ignored for decades. Hence very few researches and publications took place with regard to this nation. (Preface). This book was written with four clear purposes in mind. Firstly to make an assessment of the current situation of the Turkmen in the Tuz Khormatu District; secondly to highlight the oppression of Turkmen after the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime; thirdly to introduce a brief history of the Turkmen in Tuz Khormatu to the world; and finally to draw the world's attention to the situation and oppression of the Turkmen in Iraq" (Purpose and Scope). Contents: Introduction.; The Jews.; Language, education, tribes and clans.; Political and religious movements.; Culture and literature.; Historical places.; Social life.; Occupation of Iraq in 2003.; Incidents of oppression of the Turkmen in Iraq.

Half of the first page of the newspaper is devoted to the disagreement Monsieur Edward Höcknen, who was ex-director of the Turkish Anatolian - Baghdad Railways. The caricature shows that Monsieur Höcknen stops the train with his giant arms. According to the news on the newspaper, this international question is solved by Zekâi Bey who was Aydin muavini. Tevhîd-i Efkâr was a daily political newspaper published between 15 June 1921 and 6 March 1925. Its editor-in-chief was Velid Ebüzziya, (1884-1945). It was published in Istanbul during the Turkish War of Independence, (1919-1922), and supported the War of Independence. But after the proclamation of the Republic, he started an intense criticism campaign. Thereupon, 'Yeni gün' [i.e. New Day in Anatolia], Hakimiyet-i Milliye newspapers started opposition to the Istanbul press and Tevhid-i Efkar. With the approval of the three-point Takrir-i Sükûn Law on 4 March 1925, newspapers such as Tevhid-i Efkâr, Istiklal, Son Telgraf, and Tanin, which were published in Istanbul, and the magazine Sebilürresad were closed.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. Uncut and untrimmed copy. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Turkish with Arabic letters). 31 p. Ali Bey was a playwright originally. He learned French in private lessons and firstly he worked at the Babiâli (The Sublime Port) Translation Office as a clerk, then he became a member of the Health Council and the first secretary of the Directorate of Quarantine. He went to Eastern Anatolia, Iraq, and Japan as an inspector of public debts (1855-88). After his duty as the Governor of Trabzon (1890-93), he became the director of the Office of Public Debts (1890-93), which would last to the end of his life. It is for this reason that he was called Direktör Ali Bey. His first work was published in Diyojen (1869-72), the first humorous review, published by Teodor Kasap. Ali Bey, who was one of the regular writers of this review, wrote plays for the Gedik Pasa Theater, which was founded by the Armenian Güllü Agop and his friends, and wrote scripts adapted from French plays. He gave Turkish diction lessons to the Armenian actors and participated in theater activities. His plays were performed under the authorship 'A Person' to hide his official identity. He explained the meanings of words satirically in his dictionary Lehçetü'l Hakayik (Language of Realities) which he wrote in 1897 and was the first work of its field; the faults of the 19th century Ottoman Empire were also criticized in this dictionary. He wrote his travel memoirs titled 'Seyahât jurnâli' including his voyages from Istanbul to India. This book includes his humorous short stories printed in Cairo.
