AND XVI. CENTURY OTTOMAN CHRONICLES Abstract: Desht-i Qipchaq is a great geographic area that stretches from the Irtysh River in the east to the Carpathian Mountains in the west, bordered by the Russian knezates in the north and the Black and Caspian Seas in the south. This term refers to the regions controlled by the Golden Horde state from the XIIIth and XVth centuries, and it also describes the Kipchak homeland from the XIth century onwards. Since the XVth century, it has been part of the sovereign territory of the Crimean Khanate, with which the Ottoman Empire maintained political relations for several years. Thanks to its mines, agricultural products, game and trade routes, Desht-i Qipchaq served both Asia and Europe for many years. This land of numerous beauties, flowing rivers, vibrant flora and diverse fauna has been inhabited by different nations throughout the years, however, ıt has been united with the Tatars. Akkirman, Kefe and Crimea have always been valuable both political and commercial aspects. Ottoman historiographers of the XVth and XVIth centuries commonly referred to the area north of the Black Sea as " Desht-i Qipchaq." However, the exact borders of Desht-i Qipchaq are not specified by the authors. Therefore, in the chronicles, Desht-i Qipchaq is occasionally referred to as Turkestan and at other times as north of the Black Sea. The aim of this study is to determine how early Ottoman authors describe the Desht-i Qipchaq.

Kılıç Arslan ascended the throne in 1155, right after the death of Sultan Mesut. As soon as the Sultan came to the throne, he took part in many struggles in order to establish a structure far from political unity in Anatolia. In this sense, there were serious struggles with the Danishmenians, who were the biggest obstacle to the political unity of Anatolia. In addition to this, Nureddin Mahmut Zengi will be in a struggle with the Armenians and Emperor Manuel, and when the time comes, almost all of them will be eliminated. As a result of these developments, Sultan II. Kılıç Arslan will significantly fulfill the political unity of Anatolia. In addition to these developments, Sultan II. Kılıç Arslan has divided the country among his children, which creates a situation contrary to this struggle that has been carried out. Even towards the end of his life, the sultan felt remorse for doing such an act. However, in general, Sultan II. We see that II. Kılıç Arslan was in a struggle until the end of his life to ensure the political unity of Anatolia.

The Covid-19 pandemic has negatively affected economic life by causing disruptions in the global supply chain. In order to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, humanitarian actual mobility at national and international level has been restricted at various levels. This study analyses the effects of the pandemic on the retail sector in the Turkish economy. The magnitude of the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic varied across sectors and countries. As a result of the study, the following conclusions were reached. While food retailers in the Turkish retail sector increased their turnover during the Covid-19 pandemic, non-food retailers decreased their turnover during the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Turkey's retail trade volume and turnover index contracted in April-May 2020. However, the retail sector was able to quickly overcome the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. In June 2020, volume and turnover indices increased. In the company-based analysis results, although profitability and growth rates were affected at different rates according to the companies, especially the food retail sector was the least negatively affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. It is important for sectors to strengthen their crisis and risk management approaches in order to minimize the impact of future crises in our country.

There are many emotion verbs in the vocabulary of the language that describe emotional experience. One way to describe feeling verbs linguistically is to group and classify them according to a certain criterion. Various factors such as the subjective nature of emotion, its source, orientation, and the fact that it carries both basic and close meanings make it difficult to classify emotional verbs. The migrations of various Turkish tribes to the Khwarezm region, which started in the 11th century and continued until the 13th century, enabled this area to become Turkified over time. With the Turkification of the region, a new written and literary language emerged, shaped by the mixing of the dialects of Oghuz, Kipchak, Kangli and other Turkish tribes, which are related to Karakhanid Turkish. This language, called Khwarezm Turkish, serves as a bridge between Karakhanid and Chagatai Turkish. This written language, which constitutes the second stage of Middle Turkish, which began to be produced starting from the 13th century, experienced its golden age in the 14th century. Hz. Rabguzi's work called Kısasu'l-Enbiya, in which the stories of the prophets starting from Adam are told, is one of the most important works of Khwarezm Turkish. In this study, which was prepared based on the author's doctoral thesis, the semantics of basic positive emotion verbs were classified and these verbs were examined in terms of lexical semantics, based on Kısasu'l-Enbiya. The aim of the work is to create the theoretical framework of basic positive emotional verbs such as love, love and happiness, to make semantic analysis of words that are basic positive emotional verbs and to determine the characteristics of positive basic emotional verbs in the work.
