For monitoring and conservation of water resources and evaluation of optimum operating conditions, not only classical hydrogeological and hydrological methods but also remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) are exploited. These technologies provide a basis for managing and decision making opportunities in research related to water resources. Besides, remote sensing and GIS have provided very important advantages for determination of temporal changes in water resources and taking necessary measures. In this study, water surface changes were determined using multi-temporal satellite imageries of two lakes (having similar geographic latitudes)between the years 1975-2010. One of these lakes is Urmia located in the western Azarbaijan Province of Iran and the other lake is Acigöl in the Mediterranean Region which is one of the Turkey's most important ecological areas. ERDAS Imagine 2010, ArcInfo 10, MATLAB and eCognition Definiens software were used for GIS and remote sensing applications. At the study, long-time climatic data, lake surface data, LANDSAT MSS, TM and ETM imageries were used. In the study area, lake surfaces changes were determined by using supervised, unuspervised and object based classification methods and lake surface changes were determined by using manual digitalization and semi-automatical vectorization. Furthermore, an algorithm was developed to determine water surface changes of the lakes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The art of embroidery is one of the areas of Azerbaijan decorative and applied art, which has been present in antiquity up until now. The most ancient samples of an embroidery date back to the V - VI centuries. Azerbaijan embroidery, which decorate museums and are included in collections, date back to the XVI-XX centuries. The design and composition and choice of color show quite a degree of variety and surprising beauty. In this article, the most important techniques of Azerbaijan embroidery, the materials used, the designs and colors, and common compositions of rectangular samples of embroidery are dealt with.

"Iran's nuclear program has caused international concerns since the revelations in 2002-2003 that it has failed to report some of its nuclear activities to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as a nonnuclear-weapon state Party to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). The crux of the problem is that Tehran does not allow intrusive inspections brought by the Additional Protocol, that would help the IAEA verify its compliance with the Treaty and at the same time, it insists on the recognition of "its inalienable right to enrich uranium." Negotiations for more transparency and keeping Iran's uranium enrichment at acceptable levels did not produce tangible results so far. This article looks at Turkey's policy regarding Iranian nuclear issue. It inquires why Iran's nuclear program is a threat to the international nuclear nonproliferation regime by introducing the technology and politics of non-proliferation. The analysis of the impacts of the issue on Turkey's security policy is followed by Ankara's arguments and position. The article concludes with the way ahead of Turkey " [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
