Dear Academicians and Researchers,

Human historical experience always sheds light on those studying and conducting research in the social sciences, such as economics, law, business, history, and literature, as well as in other fields.

With this understanding, your participation will add value to this symposium, in which we hope that will make impact on contemporary understanding of the Akhi-order. It was very well practiced in Seljuk and Ottoman history and has made positive contributions to the economic and social life in many aspects. These issues will be discussed by making use of its historical sources.

On this occasion, we expect you to participate in the 2. International Symposium on “Touching Life with Akhi Order” (30-31 October 2025) – Istanbul with your valuable papers.

Please send your abstracts and the texts of the papers to following e mail address: ahilik@ticaret.edu.tr
