Home The Ubykh people are a group of Northwest Caucasian language speakers, who up until spoke the Ubykh language The Ubykh used to inhabit an area just northwest of Abkhazia in the Caucasus . They were probably one of the populations to inhabit the ancient nation of Colchis , and some of the people involved in the myth of the Golden Fleece may have been Ubykh speakers. Outside of mythology, the ancestors of the Ubykh were mentioned in book IV of Procopius De bello gotico , under the name , a corruption of the native term t°aqhæ However, the Ubykh people gained more prominence in modern times. In , during the reign of the tsar Alexander II Georgia and Abkhazia were invaded by the Russia n army. The Adyghe and Abkhazian peoples were decimated, and the Abaza people were partially driven out of the Caucasus. But the result on the Ubykh people was much more widespread; the Ubykh nation was given a month to get out of the Caucasus or be subjugated by the Russian army. Deciding to leave free rather than stay and be ruled, the entire Ubykh nation left the Caucasus

Bellerofon Hotel - as featured in the Sunday Times, Feb 2005 "Southwest of Antalya, emerald mountains loom over the ancient Lycian cities of Olympos and Phaselis, famous since ancient times for the Chimaera — not the fiery monster of myth, but natural methane flames rising from a mountaintop and visible from far out at sea. You can hike up for a closer look. Below lie beautiful natural beaches, favoured by sea turtles; and, in a lush garden in Cirali, the romantic Bellerofon Hotel, consisting of only 5 little bungalows, each with its own porch and hammock, and a superb gourmet restaurant."

Humans have lived in the land of Turkey for thousands of years. Many parts of Turkish culture date back to the earliest humans in the world. It is a wonderful and beautiful culture. Arts and crafts are very important to Turkish people. In fact, some of the most beautiful and valuable handmade crafts have been produced in Turkey. Many years ago, those who lived in Turkey were called Ottoman Turks. It was a common belief among Ottoman Turks that every person should be an expert of at least one craft. Partly because of this belief, Turkish crafts are highly developed. Jewelry is among the most important Turkish crafts. For centuries, Turkish people have created some of the most beautiful jewelry on earth. They use many different metals, like gold and silver, and different gemstones. Modern Turkish jewelry making has developed from hundreds of years of Middle Eastern artwork.

35. Turkish Odyssey/About Turkey/Anotolian Culture/People As turkey is essentially an Islamic country, Islam plays an important role inthe lives of women. Back to Anatolian culture http://www.turkishodyssey.com/turkey/culture/people.htm

Contents of this Page Family Women Women today A new law proposition ... A Few Proverbs Part 3 People DOWN FAMILY Families are divided into several types according to social, economic and local conditions. The traditional extended and nuclear families are the two common types of families in Turkey. The traditional extended family, generally means that three generations live together: grandfather, adult sons and sons' sons, their wives and their unmarried daughters a married daughter becomes a member of her husband's family and lives there. There is a unity of production and consumption together with common property. This type of family is becoming more and more rare today. The nuclear family, parallel to industrialization and urbanization, replaces traditional families. The nuclear family consists of a husband, wife and unmarried children and is more suitable to modern Turkish social life today. WOMEN As Turkey is essentially an Islamic country, Islam plays an important role in the lives of women. Having begun in Arabic countries in 7C AD, Islam was influenced by the traditions and customs of these countries and the way in which women were treated. Men could marry or live with as many women as they liked, kill women and even bury new born girls alive. When Islam made marriage laws and put a limit on the number of wives allowed, it was accepted as the first system to give some economic rights to women by saving them from the sole sovereignty of their husbands.

37. Turkish Culture Turkish culture, there s a lot of it and some of it s strange. turkey ishowever a militantly secular country and life here is far removed from that http://www.hitit.co.uk/CultTk.html

Being 'Turkish' seems to be a geographical label as much as anything else. Everybody and their uncle have been through Anatolia in the last 5000 years and the result is a rich and diverse culture, drawing on influences beyond analysis. It's important however to remember that you're essentially dealing with a modern Turkey that is less than 100 years old. 1998 sees the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Turkish Republic, an event which almost all Turks, no matter what their political beliefs, see as the point at which the idea of 'Turkey' was preserved and the country as a whole brought into the 20th Century. In conversation with Turks you'll often hear the newness or youth of the country referred to as the reason for many things you'll remark upon. 99% of Turks are Muslim. Turkey is however a militantly secular country and life here is far removed from that under fundamentalist regimes. This is a key factor if you want to achieve any understanding of the way that politics and society work here. At times you'll forget that you're in an Islamic country and only be reminded next time you hear the call to prayer, broadcast through a dodgy PA system from the nearest mosque. The mix of cultural influences and traditions here is one of the things that draws tourists to the country and, well, come and see for yourself. It is also important to realise that Turkey is a country undergoing radical changes, and has been for the last century. Urbanisation and migration from the troubled east to the more developed west are changing the character of the towns and the rural areas and bringing a truckload of social problems with them.
