    Batı Trakya'dan Balıkesir'e: Üç göçmen ailenin hikayesi
    (Bilkent University, 2023) Hastekkeşin, Damla; İpekbayrak, Ece Gün; Elmacı, Kerem; Şengüler, Ufuk; Hazır, Zeynep Duru
    From the beginning of the 20th century, most of the population in Western Thrace is composed of Greeks and Turks. In the 1950s, Turks in Western Thrace, who were exempted from the population exchange between Greece and Turkey, were feeling a social pressure on themselves. This pressure, the tense atmosphere, the cases of discrimination and the political discourses of the age, especially the Cyprus Dispute, led to the immigration of some Western Thrace Turks to Türkiye. In this study, the reasons and the consequences of this immigration, the life before immigration and the conditions of the period that might have affected it, the complete process of immigration and its aftermath were researched. 3 stories of immigration from Western Thrace to Balıkesir were examined and 3 distinct witnesses who immigrated in different time periods were interviewed during the research. The objective of this research, is to provide a voice to these three families, and while preventing their stories to get lost in the grand scheme of correlated events, is also to study the immigration in different contexts and to ensure the immigration is better understood with evaluations using different perspectives.

    The role of the European Union in the solution of the Cyprus dipute in the light of the United Nations-Led settlement efforts
    (2008) Onat, Ayşe Elçin
    This thesis aims to explore the role of the EU in the settlement of the Cyprus dispute in the light of the UN-led settlement efforts whether it is a failure and targets to fınd out the basic reasons, if it is a failure. The EU membership of the Greek Cypriotcontrolled “Republic of Cyprus”, on behalf of the whole island, has changed the dynamics of the dispute by deepening the island’s economic and political division in favour of the Greek side. Moreover, the settlement proposals of the UN, EU and Turkish side differ in the sense that while the two organizations support a bi-zonal and bicommunal federal state, the Turkish side insists on the recognition of the TRNC in exchange for its unification with the Greek Cypriots. Although the parties’ EU integration prospects can contribute to a compromise, illegality of the EU membership of the GCA according to the 1960 system, misperceptions of the EU related to the parties’ expectations, partiality and incredibility of the EU policies and ineffectiveness of its policy methods have led the Union’s failure. Relying on official UN and EU documents, on historical and legal facts and on literature works, this thesis reaches to the conclusion that the EU’s success in contributing to a permanent solution in the Cyprus dispute has been very limited contrary to the expectations from it.
