The South Caucasus has been the most important turning point of trade and migration routes during history. Because of this reason, the South Caucasus has always been the centre of attention of many great states during history. Different nationalities have struggled for the sake of the Caucasus. Due to this feature, many different communities have lived in the South Caucasus since the oldest ages of history. The South Caucasus is a mountainous pass between Europe and Asia, Islam and Christianity, Turkism and Silavlik. Therefore, the region has been the competition area of great empires during history.

Authors:Bekir SARIYILDIZ Abstract: In the light of historical sources, it is possible to take the historical foundations of the Türk presence in the Eastern Black Sea Region much deeper. In the middle Ages, the information about the Türk presence in the eastern Black Sea comes to light with the Seljuks reaching Anatolia. With the contact of the Seljuks to the Caucasus and Eastern Anatolia, Georgian and Armenian sources in the region begin to talk about the Seljuks. Likewise, the Byzantines, who ruled Anatolia, and the Arabs and Assyrians, who were closely interested in the region, kept important records about the Türk activities in the region. When the sources of Medieval History are examined, there are important records about the activities of the Seljuks in the Çoruh tribes of the Eastern Black Sea Region and around Kelkit. However, the information about the Türks who reached the eastern Black Sea coasts was initially in the dark. In the following period, important information can be obtained about the Türks in the Eastern Black Sea valleys and coasts with the help of historical sources. These sources, on the other hand, are mostly about the struggles of the Türk political organizations in the Kelkit Basin and the Türk beys, who made the north of the Eastern Black Sea Mountains their home, with the Empire of Trabzon.

Authors:Aboutayeb MOSTAFA Abstract: Our article aims to present an approach that focuses on the didactisation of advertising by proposing the key tools for successful teaching of French. These publicity documents can also be used for evaluation purposes. This being said, we are going to evoke examples of activities and approaches that a teacher of FLE can use in his class, notably in the Moroccan school with its socio-cultural specificities. The latter is an inseparable factor in the production and design of the advertising poster. Among other things, we propose an analysis of the construction of the poster at the iconic and textual level, based on a corpus composed of three advertising posters representing three different telecommunications companies: Maroc Telecom -INWI - Orange. We will review the contribution of the advertising image in French lessons. In addition, we will propose a model of methodology and approach conceived for a French course by referring to our problematic presented at the beginning of our work, namely: How to achieve a semiotic approach to the advertising poster in the French language classroom' This being said, the salient points of our study are: firstly, the semiology of the advertising image. Secondly, the cultural framework and intercultural pedagogy in relation to the advertising poster. Thirdly, advertising as a didactic support in the teaching/learning of FLE.

Authors:Betul ENSARİ Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between the fantastic and trauma in the detective novels of Kate Atkinson and Ahmet Ümit within the theory of Comparative Literature. Based on Cathy Carruth’s Trauma Theory, the paper aims to explore how Atkinson and Ümit employ fantastic elements such as ghosts and time-traveling in their detective novels to unmask the traumatic events rooted in the memories of the patriarchal cultures where they have been living. It is suggested that both Atkinson and Ümit lead the reader to discover the silenced narratives of marginalized people such as women, children, and men that do not belong to the male dominant ruling class in their societies by creating a fictional world where the ghosts help the characters to detect their personal and cultural wounds stemming from male-dominated social environments. Thereby, the writers offer some healing to the marginalized people by giving them a voice and also contribute to creating integrity and union within their societies.
