The paper deals with rock scripts, figures (petroglyphs) and writings which we have been considering for last twenty years. The scientists refer the beginning of age to the discovery of scripts. However it is proved claim that the pictures and figures started to be carved on rocks back in 14th millenium BC. Pictures carved on rocks are able to be interpreted into certain explanations as scripts and human history of 15 thousand years is available to our perception. Rock pictures and figures with turkic features are regularly encountered in most parts of Asia and Europe and north part of Africa. They possess similarities with toponyms, architectural and other cultural components. While considering all the cultural components it becomes obvious that the turks have been existing on earth for 15 thousand years with magnificent culture. The paper touches upon issues regarding the ancience of rock petrogylphs and figures with turkic features and their located areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

"This paper mainly deals with the socio-demographic characteristics and sex differentials of persons [committing] suicide [in Turkey] on the basis of the 1990 Suicide Statistics.... Causes of suicide and suicide methods are also [discussed].... There is a strong relationship between socio-demographic factors, such as urbanization, aging and household patterns and suicide rates."

The authors examine data on language from population censuses conducted in Turkey from 1927 until 1971. "The main objective of this paper is to draw some implications about the ethnic structure of Turkish citizens to the extent permitted by the available 'mother tongue' data. Turkish is the most commonly used language followed by Kurdish and Arabic. Census data carry evidence of differential mortality (as well as fertility) on growth rates of different sub-groups in Turkey. The paper sets 'reasonable' low and high estimates of major groups under different growth rate assumptions in Turkey." (SUMMARY IN ENG), (excerpt)
