Aqsaqal
Aqsaqal or aksakal (literally meaning "white beard" in Turkic languages) metaphorically refers to the male elders, the old and wise of the community in parts of Central Asia, the Caucasus and Bashkortostan. Traditionally, an aqsaqal was the leader of a village or aul until the Soviet times. Acting as advisors or judges, these elders have or had a role in politics and the justice system in countries and tribes. For instance, there are ''aksakals'' courts in Kyrgyzstan. In Uzbekistan, which has traditionally been a more urban society (the Uzbeks being ''sarts'' or town-dwellers, as opposed to nomadic Turks), cities are divided up into ''mahallas''. Each ''mahalla'' has an ''aqsaqal'' who acts as the district leader. Redevelopment of the ''aqsaqal'' courts in Kyrgyzstan In 1995, then-President of Kyrgyzstan Askar Akayev announced a decree to revitalize the ''aqsaqal'' courts. The courts would have jurisdiction over property, torts and family law.Judith Beyer, Kyrgyz Aksakal Courts ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Alaeddin Pasha
Alaeddin Pasha, or Alaeddin Bey (''Alâeddin Paşa''; Söğüt, – Bursa, 1331), was the brother of Orhan I, who succeeded their father, Osman I, in the leadership of the Ottoman Empire. His mother was a Turkish woman named Rabia Bala Hatun. It is not certain whether Alaeddin or Orhan was the elder son. Some historians claim that Alaeddin was Osman's second son, but others argue that there is a good chance that he was the oldest. Nevertheless, Orhan ruled the country and became the first Ottoman ruler to take the title of Sultan. According to tradition and Ottoman historiography as presented by historian Idris Bitlisi, Alaeddin was more passive than his warrior brother, and thus stayed at home instead of fighting to expand the newly forming Ottoman Empire. He received training in the management of the state affairs. There is a good chance that Orhan was selected to inherit leadership of the Empire because of his skills as a warrior.

In the Byzantine civil war of 1341–1347, the regent John VI Kantakouzenos married his daughter Theodora to Orhan and employed Ottoman warriors against the rival forces of the empress dowager, allowing them to loot Thrace.
