Об'єднане командування ОСВ НАТО

Об'єднане командування ОСВ (LANDCOM) — центральне командування всіх сухопутних військ НАТО. Командувач LANDCOM є головним радником Альянсу з питань сухопутної війни. При отриманні наказу Верховного головкома ОЗС НАТО в Європі (SACEUR) командування забезпечує ядро штабу, відповідального за ведення сухопутних операцій. Командування розташоване в Ізмірі (Туреччина). Історія НАТО мало штаб-квартиру сухопутних військ в Ізмірі протягом багатьох десятиліть. Спочатку тут був розташований штаб Об'єднаних сухопутних військ у Південно-Східній Європі (LANDSOUTHEAST) під керівництвом генерал-лейтенанта армії США. Після закінчення Холодної війни штаб став Об'єднаним командуванням Південно-Схід. З 11 серпня 2004 по 1 червня 2013 року в Ізмірі був розташований штаб Об'єднаного командування повітряного компоненту НАТО на півдні, раніше відомого як AIRSOUTH. У 2013 році штаб-квартира, в якій працювало 350 осіб, взяла на себе обов'язки Об'єднаного командування Гейдельберг (Німеччина) і Об'єднаного командування Мадрид (Іспанія), які підлягалали розформуванню в рамках трансформації НАТО. Роль LANDCOM був створений Північноатлантичною радою для забезпечення взаємодії сухопутних військ НАТО. Командування підпорядковується безпосередньо Верховному головкому ОЗС НАТО в Європі та є провідним голосом з питань сухопутних операцій в рамках Альянсу. Воно відповідає за забезпечення швидкого розгортання сухопутного командування в спільних операціях. LANDCOM також здійснює планування, проведення і направлення таких сухопутних операцій. Генерал-лейтенант Фредерік Ходжес у 2012 році заявив виданню Stars and Stripes, що «основну увагу його штаб-квартира приділить тому, щоб гарантувати, що тактичні уроки, отримані в ході десятиліття бойових дій в Афганістані, не будуть втрачені».

Amouda

Amouda (auch Amuda, Amutay, heute türkisch Hemite Kalesi) ist eine kleinarmenische Burgruine im Dorf Gökçedam (früher Hemite) im zentralen Landkreis der türkischen Provinz Osmaniye. Geografische Lage Die Burg Amouda liegt im Osten des Ortes Gökçedam auf einem Felskegel, der sich etwa 40 Meter aus der Ebene erhebt, etwa 300 Meter nordwestlich des Flusses Ceyhan. Das Gebiet gehörte zum ebenen Kilikien. An dieser Stelle in der Çukurova-Ebene kreuzten bereits im Altertum die von Norden über den Antitaurus nach Syrien führenden Straßen diejenigen, die Kilikien mit Ostanatolien verbanden. Die Bedeutung dieser Straßenkreuzung zeigt auch das nahegelegene hethitischen Felsrelief am Ufer des Ceyhan. Geschichte Die Erbauer der Festung sind nicht bekannt. Sie wurde 1145 von Thoros II., Herrscher des Armenischen Königreichs von Kilikien, erobert. 1211/12 übereignete Leo II. die Burg anlässlich eines Besuchs Hermanns von Salza dem Deutschen Orden, der sie weiter ausbaute. 1266 wurde Amouda von den Mamluken unter Sultan Baibars I. erobert und geplündert.

Amouda

The former Crusader castle of Amouda, in what was the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, and today close to the village of Gökçedam in the Turkish Province of Osmaniye. The castle was deeded by the Armenian king Levon I to the Teutonic Knights in 1212 (Barber 2008) and rebuilt by them in the 13th century. It earned revenue for the Teutonic Order from the surrounding land. According to contemporary sources, the castle provided shelter for 2,200 people during the invasion by the Mamluks in 1266. Architecture In 1987 an archaeological and historical assessment of the site, as well as a surveyed plan, were published. From atop the outcrop this castle has clear inter-visibility with at least five others forts. Based on an analysis of the masonry, there were at least three major periods of construction and/or repair, with the most prominent contribution from the Crusader occupation. Unlike Armenian designs, it has a simple rectangular plan dominated at the southwest by a four-story keep with cisterns in the lowest level. The design of Amouda is similar to the Teutonic Knights's castle at Montfort with a keep guarding the entrance (Molin 2001).

Efez

Efez je antički grad na zapadnoj obali Male Azije, na mjestu gdje je nekad bilo ušće rijeke Kaistros, u današnjoj Turskoj. Sastoji se od niza naselja koja su pratila obalu i povlačila se prema primorju od helenizma do rimskog doba. Drevni Efez je izvanredan primjer rimskog lučkog grada s morskim kanalom i donjom lukom, zbog čega je upisan na UNESCO-ov popis mjesta svjetske baštine u Aziji 2015. god. Iskapanja su otkrila velike spomenike iz vremena Rimskog Carstva, uključujući Celsiusovu knjižnicu (slika desno), Veliko kazalište, te malo ostataka slavnog Artemidinog hrama, jednog od „Sedam svjetskih čuda” koji je privlačio hodočasnike iz cijelog Sredozemlja. Povijest U 11. stoljeću pr. Kr. Efez naseljavaju Jonjani; potom se nalazi pod vlašću Lidije, a od 546. g. pr. Kr. njime vlada Perzijsko Carstvo. Nakon pobjede Grka u grčko-perzijskim ratovima pristupa Delsko-atičkom savezu. Tijekom Peloponeskog rata najprije je na strani Atene, a potom Sparte. Ubrzo nakon toga ponovno dospijeva pod vlast Perzije, a Aleksandar Veliki ga zauzima 334. pr. Kr. Nakon njegove smrti nalazi se pod vlašću Seleukida, Ptolomejevića i Pergama. U to vrijeme Efez doživljava procvat kojem svjedoči Artemidin hram u Efezu koji je podignut u gradu. Bio je to najveći i najraskošniji grčki hram i jedno od sedam svjetskih čuda po Pliniju Starijem. Godine 133. pr. Kr. oporukom pergamskog vladara Atala III. pripao je Rimu. Tada postaje glavni grad i razvijeno trgovačko i prometno središte rimske pokrajine Male Azije. Nakon osvajanja Gota 263. godine, koji su uništili i Artemidin hram, započinje opadanje Efeza. Od 5. stoljeća je „Dom Djevice Marije”, križna kapela s kupolom nekih 7 km od središta grada, postao glavnim hodočasničkim mjestom za kršćane. Kratkotrajno ga osvajaju Arapi 655. god., ali ostaje najdulje pod bizantskom vlašću. Godine 1308. zauzimaju ga Turci. Danas je važna arheološka antička lokacija u Turskoj.

Efes

Efes este un oraș antic (azi în ruină) pe coasta de vest a Asiei Mici, la sud de Izmir. A fost întemeiat în secolul XI î.Hr. de coloniști ionieni (greci), devenind în cursul timpului unul din cele mai dezvoltate centre religioase și comerciale. S-a aflat, rând pe rând, sub diferite ocupații străine. Templul zeiței Artemis din Efes, construit în secolul VI î.Hr., una din cele 7 minuni ale lumii antice, a fost incendiat în anul 356 î.Hr., de un cetățean din Efes cu numele de Herostrat, din dorința de a deveni celebru. Orașul a fost ocupat de romani în anul 133 d.Hr., devenind capitala provinciei romane Asia. A suferit pierderi însemnate la cutremurele de pământ din anii 358 și 365 d.Hr. În secolul VII d.Hr., Efesul a decăzut. În Efes a activat o anumită perioadă apostolul Pavel, probabil și Apostolul Ioan. Conform tradiției creștine, în imediata apropiere a orașului ar fi locuit Fecioara Maria (la poarta Panaghia Kapuli), iar în interiorul orașului, Luca Evanghelistul. La Efes au avut loc trei concilii (sinoade) bisericești: în 190 d.Hr. (conciliu convocat de Policrat pentru a fixa data sărbătoririi Paștelui), în 431 d.Hr. (sub împăratul Teodosiu al II-lea, la care s-a condamnat nestorianismul si s-a stabilit dogma întrupării lui Iisus Hristos) și în 449 d.Hr. (la care s-a susținut monofizitismul). Aria arheologică actuală cuprinde vestigii importante din perioada elenistică și romană (agora, forum, odeon, biblioteca lui Celsus, stadion etc), precum și din epoca bizantină (ruine de biserici).

Ankara Palas

Ankara Palas ist ein staatliches Gästehaus und Hotel unter der Leitung des türkischen Außenministeriums in Ankara. Geschichte Der Auftrag für das im Stadtbezirk Ulus an der Cumhuriyet Caddesi gelegene Gästehaus wurde 1924 von dem Architekten Vedat Tek übernommen. Nachdem die Fundamente fertiggestellt worden waren, stellte Vedat Tek seine Tätigkeit wegen Streitigkeiten mit dem Stiftungsamt, dem Vakıflar Genel Müdürlüğü, ein. Es übernahm Mimar Kemaleddin, der das Gebäude nach seinen Plänen bis zu seinem Tode an der Baustelle vollendete. Das Gebäude wurde 1928 fertiggestellt. Das Bauwerk mit dem orientalischen Aussehen wird dem Baustil der ersten nationalen Strömung (Birinci Ulusal Mimarlık Akımı) zugerechnet, die sich durch die Verbindung von spätosmanischer und europäischer Architektur auszeichnet. Das Gebäude befindet sich direkt gegenüber dem zweiten Parlament. Konzeptionell war das Gebäude zuerst als Clubhaus für die Abgeordneten gedacht, wurde jedoch als Gästehaus und Hotel genutzt, in dem hohe Staatsmänner wie Mustafa Kemal, Minister und Abgeordnete mit Künstlern und Journalisten nach Feierabend zusammentrafen. Die Abende und Tanzbälle waren ein Entwicklungsfeld für gesellschaftliche Reformen (u. a. Anwesenheit von Frauen). Die Herberge galt als die chicste Örtlichkeit der Stadt und beherbergte in der neuen Hauptstadt Ankara als einziges Grand Hotel der Stadt auch ausländische Staatsgäste wie den afghanischen König Amanullah Khan (1928) oder den iranischen Monarchen Reza Schah Pahlavi (1934). Auch spätere Ministerpräsidenten wie Adnan Menderes besuchten diese Lokalität. Das Stiftungsamt betrieb das Gebäude als Hotel. Als der Betrieb unrentabel wurde, wurde es geschlossen und gepfändet. 1973 wurde es von der Gastronomie-Gewerkschaft Oleyis Sendikası übernommen. Die im Stiftungsamt den Vorsitz innehabende Millî Selamet Partisi verbot den Ausschank von Alkohol, wogegen sich die Betreiber wehrten. 1975 erfolgte eine erneute Pfändung. In diesem Zeitraum wurde fast die komplette Einrichtung gestohlen, wodurch sich der Originalzustand nicht mehr herstellen ließ. Das Gästehaus wurde 1982 renoviert und kam 1983 unter die Leitung des Außenministeriums. Neben der klassischen Aufgabe der Beherbergung von Staatsgästen werden zur Finanzierung einige Säle für Hochzeiten vermietet. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Ankara Palas

Ankara Palas is a historical building, which is used as an official state guest house in the capital Ankara, Turkey. Initially designed as the Ministry of Health building, it was used as a hotel for the members of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey following the completion of its construction in 1928. The Turkish Neoclassical building was designed in 1924 by architect Vedat Tek (1873–1942). However, since he did not continue with the construction, Mimar Kemaleddin Bey (1870–1927) took over. He died on July 13, 1927, at the building site. The building was completed in 1928. It is located in Ulus district across the historical building of the first Grand National Assembly (today War of Independence Museum). The symmetrical two-story, pitched-roof building with a domed central entrance way flanked by twin towers demonstrates characteristics of the First Turkish national architectural movement (Turkish: Birinci Milli Mimari Akımı). The building was completely restored in 1983 as a 60-room state guesthouse with reception, dining room, banquet hall and tea lounge. References
