Mahmud II
Mahmud II ( ota, محمود ثانى, Maḥmûd-u s̠ânî, tr, II. Mahmud; 20 July 1785 – 1 July 1839) was the 30th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1808 until his death in 1839. His reign is recognized for the extensive administrative, military, and fiscal reforms he instituted, which culminated in the Decree of Tanzimat ("reorganization") that was carried out by his sons Abdulmejid I and Abdülaziz.

Fındıklı, Rize
Fındıklı ( Laz and Georgian: ვიწე ''Vits'e'') is a town and district of Rize Province on the Black Sea coast of Turkey, east of the city of Rize. Etymology The town was formerly known as ''Vitze'' (Laz and Georgian: ''Vits'e''), which some claim means "twig" or "branch" in the Laz language and was renamed Fındıklı ("place with hazelnuts" in Turkish) after the hazelnuts grown in the town, although these have now mostly been replaced with tea. Scholar Özhan Öztürk claims that the town's former and native name comes from the word ''vis'', meaning "town" in the now-extinct Thracian language and other Indo-European languages (Old Persian ''vith'', Avesta ''visa'', Sanskrit ''vesah'', Gothic ''weihs'', etc.). Öztürk claims that Istanbul's old name Byzantion; the town of Vize in Kırklareli Province in western Thracian region of Turkey; the towns of Viçe, Visir, Aşağı Viçe, Arhavi (Arkeo + Vice, "old town"), Visera, and Vizera in the Pontus region of Turkey (wh ...
