Nasuh

A Russian artist, who converted to Islam, is promoting Turkish and Islamic traditions in the capital of Russia with her works.

Mariya Komisa, a painter and pottery master, is currently presenting Turkish culture and heritage through her "Letter of the traveler" exhibition at the State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow.

An eight-year-old Syrian girl who lost her leg is hoping to get treatment in Turkey and be able to walk again.

Fatma Nasuh lost her leg when she was only 3 years old and has been walking with crutches ever since.

She walks three kilometers (1.8 miles) with crutches every day to go to school and wants to become a pediatrician who treats children who have lost their limbs.

An exhibition titled "Matrakçı Nasuh: A 16th Century Genius," featuring works by the famous 16th-century Ottoman philosopher, mathematician and historian Matrakçı Nasuh, opens today in Italian capital Rome. 

The exhibition is hosted by the Societa Geografica Italiana Foundation, which has Europe's most important map archive and library, as part of its 150th anniversary celebrations. 

Turkish Search and Rescue Association (AKUT) head Nasuh Mahruki resigned from his duty on Nov. 30, Doğan News Agency has reported.

"I no longer have signing authority. I will perform my duty as an honorary head. AKUT was under pressure due to my oppositional discourse so I have chosen to do [resign]. From now on, Saygun Gökşin will perform this duty," he said.

Turkish Search and Rescue Association (AKUT) head Nasuh Mahruki will reportedly quit at the next general meeting, which will be held on Nov. 22.

AKUT will hold an extraordinary congress at 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 22 in a cafe in the Şişli district of Istanbul.

Turkish Culture Minister Nabi Avcı inaugurated an exhibition on Ottoman scholar and intellectual Matrakçı Nasuh at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris on Oct. 27. 

Nasuh Mahruki, the head of the non-profit Search and Rescue Association (AKUT), has been released on probation, shortly after being referred to court with an arrest demand on Oct. 24 for allegedly "insulting" Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

The Istanbul Governor's Office has ordered the non-profit Search and Rescue Association (AKUT) to move out of the building it rented for 49 years on the grounds of problems with the right of passage, but the organization's head has claimed the decision is politically motivated rather than a legal dispute. 

An Istanbul court has accepted an indictment by a prosecutor who demanded up to four years in jail for former MP and retired international footballer Hakan ?ükür for "insulting" President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an and his son. 

An exhibition on Ottoman scholar and intellectual Matrakç? Nasuh opened in Belgrade on Sept. 15.

Promoted by the Turkish president's office, the exhibit features items covering the 16th century figure's broad range of achievements in mathematics, history and artistic miniatures.
