[Public Diplomacy avant la lettre]


twitter.com

Love this story: in 1924 Turkish government bought Dutch ship Wilis & transformed it into floating exhibition. The 'Karadeniz' then sailed all over Europe showing the best the new & proud Republic had to offer in terms of art, music and science. Public diplomacy avant la lettre.

      The famous Presidential Symphony Orchestra also toured with the 'Karadeniz', and gave a performance in Amsterdam's Vondelpark.

      Turkish-Dutch relations goes back to 1612 when the Dutch had to trade under French flag in the Mediteranian (had to pay the French). The Ottomans gave permission to trade under it's own flag which also means Turkey is the first country that recognised the NL as an indpndnt state

      That's right Richard,it was built by order of 31st Ottoman Sultan Abdulmejid I between 1843 and 1856 and served as the main administrative palace of the Ottoman Empire from 1856 to 1922, except Sultan Abulhamid II, he moved to Yildiz Palace during his reign between 1877 -1909.

      You are more than Richard. More about it: the name Dolmabahce comes from the Turkish dolma meaning "filled" and bahce meaning "garden." The palace was designed as European architecture in Ottoman style by 2 Ottoman Armenians ,Garabet Amira Balyan and his son Nikogos Balyan.
