FATIH IN BOSNIA-EVERLASTING PERCEPTION
Journal Title: Journal of the Human and Social Science Researches - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
It has passed 550 years since Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror‟s conquest of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1463. One of the rare things that hasn‟t changed in this long period of time is the love for Fâtih Sultan Mehmet which is passed on in Bosnia like a blessed heritage from father to son, in spite of the changes regarding conditions, ruling, geography and generational shifts ..., There are various manifestations of this feeling towards Mehmet the Conqueror in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For example, during the conquest of Bosnia and Herzegovina city of Sanski Most was the end point in the West that had been conquered by Sultan Mehmet II. The place where he and his soldiers had their Friday Jummah prayer was named "Musalla". At this very point "Conquest Festival" is traditionally held, and that is one of the most important indication of this love. Besides these concrete responses of love for Fâtih Sultan Mehmet, in this paper we presented opinions of academics and other relevant people whom we believe to be leaders in judgment and beliefs of Bosniaks‟ society. They were interviewed on the subject "Fâtih in Bosnia-Everlasting Perception". Also, we concluded our article by introducing our own personal observations and comments regarding the matter which we obtained by researching the literature and that are based on the results of the interviews.
