West Balkans Since the Balkan Wars Until Today and the Relations With Turkey in the Context of Inter-Cultural Communication

Öz

The Balkan geography has ever occupied a crucial position for the Republic of Turkey. Situated on the passageways all through the history, the Balkan territories have housed cardinal time courses of a number of civilizations, -from their birth, till the downfall. Notwithstanding the fact that the characterized geography is quite smaller, the territory has been commemorated with conflicts, wars and immigrations throughout the history. The Balkan territory; as of the present day, is comprised of Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and the Thrace. Except Slovenia, the present construct that was reborn from the ashes of former Yugoslavia and that embodies the Albanian territory, is named and classified as the West Balkans (borders of former Yugoslavia). The Balkans, as a part of the Ottoman Empire's expansion area, is a land of geographic and strategic importance. The former Yugoslavian territories -admitted to be the western edge of Islam-, is a dominant ground, where the border between Islam and Christianity was enframed by thin and naive lines. Our historical bond with the Balkans not only created the Turkish and Muslim population in the zone (which is today a considerable percentage and amount), but also prepared the formation of Balkan origin population within the borders of Turkey, due to the major immigrations experienced in various timeframes and periods. This formation constitutes one of the key elements determining Turkey's regional policies. Moreover, the geographical and strategic location of Balkans is another crucial factor determining said policies. Balkans is a cardinal gate to Europe for Turkey, with its face leaning towards the West. The presence of 5% of the country's land named as "Balkans", common frontiers amongst the peoples, ongoing common historical background and the significant ratio of Turkish and Muslim population in the region have secured relations that are vital for Turkey (especially in terms of security of the Straits, Bosphorus and the Dardanelles) and require common policies. As the Ottomans conquered the Balkans, Turkish culture became to be determinant in the region and Turkish language imbedded into the public language. These conditions led the local community to adopt a common and hybrid culture. In the course of time, as Islam became widespread, the terms "Muslim" and "Turk" came to a state of implying one single common status; that is, "Muslims" meant Turks and vice versa. For this reason, any variation, transformation, evolution and differentiation -whether existing or potential- in the Balkans bear the characteristics and power of influencing Turkey. Each society has a unique culture and this "culture structure" differentiates any society from others. The cultural structure and values of a society are the facts that shape the daily lives of that society members. This research aims to analyse the Turkish and Balkan cultures and define the intercultural similarities and differences. The basic claim of the study is that, there can be a relation between the culture conceptions of Turkish and Balkan communities led by the Balkan War. Despite the fact that the Turkish and Balkan cultures possess different ethnic natures throughout the ever changing political and social distinctions, the cross-cultural communication in terms of historical, social and political aspects that took place for centuries, still continues with full throttle at present day. This is based on the theory that cultural impressions and footprints have proceeded up-to-date. This research intends to analyse the West Balkans within the within the frame of "Intercultural Communication" concept and theory, since the Balkan War until today.
