Urgent Need for Action to Prevent Violence
Imminent Threat of Muslim Uprising
There is no doubt that failing to implement the proposed measures without delay poses an imminent danger of a Muslim uprising that could far surpass any previous violence experienced in the region. Should Turkish forces encounter defeat in Serbia, it is widely believed that the Muslim population would rise against the Christians, who currently find themselves disarmed and vulnerable. Observations made by Mr. Guaraccino and Mr. Baring underscore the severity of this situation; they remarked that the Bulgarians ought to pray fervently for the success of Turkish arms, as a defeat could result in the eradication of the entire Bulgarian population. This stark statement from Mr. Guaraccino reveals the dire condition of the Bulgarians and the existential threat they face City Tour Istanbul.

Inaction of Turkish Authorities
A Call for Humanitarian Aid
The Turkish authorities have shown a concerning unwillingness to assist those in dire need. In Philippopolis, local residents attempted to organize a subscription to support the suffering women and children. However, the Mutessarif refused permission, claiming that the government was providing all necessary aid—when, in reality, no help was forthcoming. This refusal to allow a charitable initiative highlights the arbitrary and often cruel nature of the Turkish administration. The rationale behind blocking such efforts remains inexplicable, leaving many to wonder why the authorities would deny aid to starving citizens Restrictions and Despair in Klissura.

Oppressive Regulations
The situation in Klissura is dire, with severe restrictions placed on the villagers that exacerbate their suffering. They are prohibited from working in neighboring villages, begging, or even visiting friends or family in nearby communities. This oppressive regulation, as pointed out by the Mudir, is not only absurd but also detrimental to the villagers’ livelihoods. Many residents, who once engaged in the manufacture of attar of roses, had small trading ventures that extended as far as Constantinople and even into Asia Minor. With the freedom to leave their village, they could have leveraged their trading skills and credit to begin rebuilding their lives and homes Urgent Need for Action to Prevent Violence.

Göksu
“Göksu” by Musahipzade Celal: “Göksu winds at three or four places, forming falls where it flows down. Mud from its banks is used to make jugs and flowerpots. Wooden bridges cross it, mills roll its water, and the gunpowder magazine nourishes the green areas of Inner Göksu.”
Night in the Bosphorus described by Ahmet Haşim: “I don’t know another night darkness as powerful as the one along the street that traverses the Bosphorus along the sea behind the old yalıs.

A Unique Planet Bahcesaray
Bahcesaray, formerly known as Mukus, is undeniably one of the most intriguing places in our country. Despite having a stable population of around 6 thousand, it is widely recognized. If one were to inquire about a seldom-visited place in our country that is well-known, the answer would undoubtedly be Bahcesaray.
Bahcesaray is renowned for being inaccessible for 7 to 8 months a year. Although a recent effort by the prime minister has opened a road to make it accessible during the winter season, it remains quite distant from the town center. This road is rarely preferred unless absolutely necessary, and the shorter road cannot be opened to traffic in the winter. In summary, Bahcesaray is exceptionally unique and distinct. It stands apart from its neighbors in terms of geography, social structure, lifestyle, humor Göksu, culinary culture, the local people’s approach to events, and the widespread playing of chess.
