Yıllar süren uzun bir yolculuğun sonunda yeni kitabımızın Ekim ayında @kronikkitap.bsky.social tarafından yayımlanacağını paylaşmaktan mutluluk duyuyoruz. Kitapta gökyüzünde bir anda belirip, muazzam bir enerjiyle parlayıp kayan bir yıldızın hikayesini anlattık, umarım beğenirsiniz.

2025 will be the 1700th anniversary of the First Nicene Council. Pretty little Anatolian town for history fans and tile lovers. #nicenecreed #iznik

My first time at the JFK Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, MA. Gorgeous building, great library but I’m a bit underwhelmed by the museum itself tbh. You can spare about 90 minutes for the whole tour, including 2 short movies that last for about 30 minutes.

Looking forward to our panel with Serhii Plokhii, Mark Steinberg, Frank Sysyn and Susan Smith-Peter at the @aseees.bsky.social 56th Convention in Boston this weekend. We'll discuss how textbooks in English have presented Russian and Ukranian historical narratives and how those have at times clashed.

#Slavin WW2 memorial in Bratislava for fallen Soviet soldiers. It’s perplexing to see how starkly the public opinion is divided in Czechia and Slovakia over the War in Ukraine.

New statue commemorating the victims of the Prague Spring (Invasion of the city by Warsaw Pact troops in 1968) was unveiled this past August near the Kampa Museum. I just had a chance to visit Czech sculptor Jiří Sozanský’s pertinently entitled “August 1968/1969.”

I moved back to Turkey about a decade ago, and there has been some dark moments. But at the centenary of the republic I am hopeful, not least because there is a new generation but also bright young women who will take this country in the right direction. 🇹🇷 💯 #Atatürk

Just received a copy of the recently published - A Hundred Years of Republican Turkey, edited by Alp Yenen and Erik-Jan Zürcher. This book, to which I contributed with two chapters, is the collective work of numerous great scholars. Happy to be among them. Many thanks, Alp
