Abstract


THIRD ARAMAIC MIGRATION OF ETHNIC AND POLITICAL EFFECTS BY SOUTHEASTERN ANATOLIA
In 2000 BC, southeastern of Anatolia was composed of native Hurrians, Indo-Aryan origin Mitanni that migrated out of northwestern Iran, and Indo-Aryan origin Hittites. In the 12th century BC, the Aegean Migration that destroyed minor Asia changed political situation of the region mostly. Authority gap created by the Aegean Migrations caused the Aramaic Migrations, which lasted for centuries, and caused major ethnic changes in the southeastern of Anatolia. After the Aramaic Migrations, small groups that were organized in tribal style came to this region. This study aims to reveal ethnic and political changes after the Aramaic Migration by explaining the ethnic composition of the region from written history.
