Using a nationally representative dataset from Turkey, we examined the effects of national identity, religious identity, religious practice, and intergroup contact on social distance towards disliked groups along ethnic (Turks vs. Kurds), religious (Sunnis vs. Alevis) and ideological divides (supporters vs. opponents of the Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, AKP). We used structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine two mechanisms (via perceived threat and empathy) through which ingroup identification and intergroup contact influence social distance toward disliked groups. Perceived threat, but not empathy, mediated the effect of national identification on higher social distance towards Kurds, AKP supporters and AKP opponents. Both perceived threat and empathy mediated the effects of religious practice on distance towards Alevis. Intergroup contact had both direct and indirect effects (via threat and empathy) on social distance. Multigroup SEM showed that contact's effects did not vary across outgroup targets. By contrast, the effects of national and religious identity on social distance varied depending on the outgroup target. The findings highlight the importance of considering identity content and meaning attached to social categories in making predictions about the influence of identification with different social categories. The study of intergroup relations in social and political psychology has contributed to our understanding of societal conflict by shedding light on the drivers of intergroup conflict and tensions. A growing body of literature has examined the consequences of ingroup identification with groups at different levels of inclusiveness (e.g., Wohl & Branscombe, 2005) and of intergroup contact (e.g., Pettigrew & Tropp, 2006) in predicting attitudes toward outgroups in conflict. Typically, this research has examined one set of intergroup relations or conflict at a time, often in a context or a target group chosen by the researchers. Intergroup tensions, however, exist across multiple social groups simultaneously, such as ethnic, religious, or ideological divides. Such contexts raise questions about the implications of identification with different groups, and of intergroup contact, for societal polarization (e.g., social exclusion). When conflict exists along different fault lines, the same group (e.g., religious) can serve as a superordinate, a cross-cutting, or an exclusive identity. Importantly, the meaning attached to social groups also matters. Some groups are judged positively, while others are seen as threatening. Therefore, ingroup identification should have different implications depending on both the boundaries and the content of group identity. In the present research, we examined the influence of identification with two important groups-national and religious-as well as the level of intergroup contact social distance along three main societal divisions in Turkey: the ethnic divide (Turks vs. Kurds), the religious divide (Sunni vs. Alevis), and the ideological divide (supporters vs. opponents of the Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP)-Justice

During the Republican era, “the question of minorities” was an important issue for the rulers of the state, as it was in the last periods of the Ottoman Empire. Unlike the Ottoman Empire, the Republican leadership adopted the policy of building a new nation. This policy had significant effects on the demographic and economic structure of the minorities, on the rights given to them by the Treaty of Lausanne, and on their religious, educational, and cultural institutions. In this study, state policies towards minorities are analyzed by taking the main historical developments into account in different periods, starting from the One-Party era until today, within the framework set by the Lausanne Peace Treaty. In the empirical part of the study, the policies towards non-Muslim minorities are attempted to be identified through in-depth interviews conducted with the representatives of these minority groups. To this end, several interviews are conducted with the representatives of Greek-Orthodox, Armenian, and Jewish communities and the problems are analyzed under five categories; education, endowments (vakıflar), foreign policy, citizenship, and the administration of the community. These interviews demonstrated that there are some positive developments as a result of the democratization steps and several reforms in the European Union adjustment process. However, it is also seen that these developments are not sufficient to meet the needs of the religious minority groups. Nevertheless, for the period starting from the early 2000s, in which new policies has launched in Turkey, it is evaluated that we are entering into a new phase, where relations are being situated on legal grounds instead of religious contexts. Moreover, in this study, it is argued that this new phase opens up new opportunities for non-Muslim minorities especially on the questions of endowments and fundamental rights, similar to the significant developments in the case of other social groups in Turkey.

""""“Refik Halid Türkçeyi en iyi yazan muharrirdir.”

Ziya Gökalp

“Nesir yazarları içinde dilini en güzel bulduğum yazar Refik Halid’dir. İşte tam İstanbul Türkçesi… Yakup Kadri temiz, seçkin ve derin bir yazardır. Ama ben yine onu Refik Halid’den üstün bulamam. Çünkü Refik Halid’den daha kolay lezzet alırım, hayalim yorulmaz…”

Ömer Seyfeddin

“Meşrutiyet”in bize getirdiği yegâne Avrupaî yenilik Refik Halid’dir.”

Prens Sebahaddin

Refik Halid Karay 20. yüzyıl Türkiyesi’nde bilhassa siyasi mizah yazılarıyla etkili olmuş önemli bir şahsiyettir. Çökmekte olan Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun kültürel manada yaşadığı ağır sancıları eserlerinde işleyen ve yine çöken bu imparatorluğun mirası üzerine inşaa edilen Türk Devleti’nin kuruluşu aşamasında yaptığı siyasi faaliyetleri ile dönemin en önemli aktörlerinden biri hâline gelen Refik Halid, II.
Meşrutiyet dönemi ile Cumhuriyet devrinin başlarında yaşanan olayları eserlerinde incelikle yorumlayarak kaleme almıştır.

Türkçe’nin en büyük üstadlarından Refik Halid Karay’ın hayatı, siyasi faaliyetleri, eserleri ve eserlerine yansıyan düşünce dünyası üzerine hazırlanan bu eserde, II. Meşrutiyet’ten 1960’lara kadar olan dönemde Karay’ın bu önemli tarihî sürece ilişkin en temel fikirleri doğrultusunda Türk siyasi ve kültürel hayatına katkıları ele alınmıştır.
