Özet:

Turks as a nation are the heirs of a cultural heritage and a radical history which only a few societies can have. This nation, which had sovereignty over three continents, has left deep impacts on them that can never be forgotten. The monuments of Turkish architecture that lie on a vast geography, have been subjected to a continuous destruction and annihilation so far. Even today where the concept of historical monuments is accepted and the their protection is not matter of argument any longer, the destruction of the works of Turkish art and architecture continues mercilessly. Unless the consciousness of historical environment has been taken up seriously and settled at all parts of the society; the laws, the councils and the experts will not be efficient and adequate to protect the cultural heritage. The main problem now is to think and concentrate how to protect the present Turkish heritage. First of all, the protection of the architectural heritage is possible by protecting the whole historical environment. In order to provide, the consciousness of the historical environment must be formed and rooted in all the national and international societies. This can be achieved through a serious education.
