Morphology (Figs 5, 12) typical for the P. bosphoricus species group with the body shape, size and colouration resembling mostly those of the species in Subgroup 2 (P. warchalowskae, P. turcicus and P. athos Tilmans, F. Willemse et L. Willemse, 1989; the last was given within Subgroup 1 in Kaya et al. 2012, but see Discussion section below). Morphology and colouration as in P. warchalowskae, except for the following differences. Male pronotum (Fig. 5 A, B) shorter, usually less than 5 mm in length (in P. warchalowskae over 5 mm), exposing larger part of tegmina. Male stridulatory row is very similar to those of P. athos, P. warchalowskae and P. turcicus, bearing 89–107 teeth. Male cerci (Fig. 5 C, D) almost straight to the last fourth, which is incurved forming an almost right angle with the proximal part; the tip is generally narrower with long external row of 3–7 large teeth and short internal row of 2–4 teeth, separated by a similar in size medial tooth; the outer (external) row is straight (convex in P. warchalowskae) and the inner row is oblique sloping to the tip. In general the apex of male cerci resembles those of P. proximus (Fig. 6 D) and P. scythicus (see Kaya et al. 2012: Fig. 78) but the overall habitus and song of those species are distinct (compare this paper and Kaya et al. 2012). The cerci of P. canakkale are similar to those of P. athos (see Tilmans et al. 1989: Fig. 4), yet, in the latter the cerci are overall stouter, less curved and with a very wide apex. Male subgenital plate (Fig. 5 E) with an apical constriction, resembling in shape that of P. turcicus (Fig. 3 E), but shorter than in the latter, and that of P. athos (compare with Tilmans et al. 1989: Fig. 1). The lamellae of the ovipositor are very similar to those of P. warchalowskae (compare Figs 11 A, B and 12 A, B) and P. a t ho s (see Tilmans et al. 1989: Fig. 5), being shorter than in P. warchalowskae and with longer ventro-lateral process in P. athos. Female ovipositor is shorter than in P. warchalowskae (usually shorter than 9 mm, while in P. warchalowskae it is longer than 9.2 mm), but fits the length of the ovipositor of P. athos. Measurements. See Table 1. Bioacoustics (Table 2). Male calling song can be classified as typical for Subgroup 2 (see Kaya et al. 2012). It is more variable than the song of P. turciae, P. turcicus and P. warchalowskae with significant inter-individual variation in the number and period of the impulses of both parts of the syllable (see Table 2) and thus different individuals show syllable pattern similar to one of these species. The average values of the number of impulses in the first syllable part is most similar to those of P. turciae but the number of impulses in the second part is usually much higher and thus at similar temperature in P. canakkale the second part is longer. In some specimens the first part of the syllable may be reduced or even absent. Main song frequencies lie between 20 / 22 and 32 kHz with peaks observed at 28–30 kHz (thus being higher than in P. warchalowskae).

P. canakkale occurs in the northern part of the Biga Peninsula, representing the nothwesternmost part of Anatolia, where it is possibly parapatric with P. sureyanus / diversus and P. turcicus. It inhabits mesophytic and mesoxerophytic grass and shrub associations. Etymology. The name ' canakkale ' is a direct use of the name of the province Çanakkale (spelled as 'chanakkale' in Turkish) that supposedly covers the range of this new species.Published as part of Chobanov, Dragan P., Kaya, Sarp & Çiplak, Battal, 2015, Contribution to the taxonomy of Poecilimon bosphoricus species group (Orthoptera: Phaneropteridae): two new species from its core range, pp. 63-76 in Zootaxa 3964 (1) on pages 70-74, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3964.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/28869

(Ünal 2004). Description and a diagnosis. Morphology (Figs 4, 11) typical for the P. bosphoricus species group with the body shape, size and colouration resembling other members of Subgroup 2, mostly P. turcicus (Kaya et al. 2012). Male. Head: Fastigium of vertex narrow, less than half the width of scapus, narrower than in P. t u rc i cu s. Thorax: Pronotum (Fig. 4 A, B) is comparatively long, slightly raised in the metazona (but stronger than in P. turcicus). The metazona is slightly widened and in dorsal view the pronotum resembles that of P. turcicus (see Fig. 3 A, B). Dorsal margin of pronotum in profile is straight or slightly concave. Auditory spiracle very small, its diameter smaller than the width of apical limbs of palpi. Tegmina typical for this group. The stridulatory file has comparatively sparse pegs, smoothly but fast getting bigger from the apex to 1 / 5 th to the base and become largest in the middle of the file. The stridulatory file has 86–104 teeth (including about 30 very small teeth in the apical part of the file)—more than in the species of Subgroup 1 (Kaya et al. 2012) and less than in those from Subgroup 3 as defined by Kaya et al. (2012). Fore femur slightly longer than pronotum. Hind femora lack ventral spines. Abdomen: Margins of abdominal tergites straight or slightly convex. Male cerci have characteristic shape (Fig. 4 C, D, 17 C, 21 C) and thus distinction of males may be based on this character. The cerci are not distinctly widened at the base, and are gently curved along most of their length. The cercal tip is lancet-shaped and down curved with both the internal and external margins covered with small black teeth; the inner and outer rows are almost equal in length, bearing respectively 4–8 and 6–13 teeth, separated by a similar in size medial tooth. Subgenital plate (Fig. 4 E) short, triangularly narrowed after its middle, with a narrow, slightly concave apex, extending over the tip of cerci, smoothly triangularly tapering to a narrow, slightly concave hind margin. Colouration: General colouration typical for the group, usually pale-green. Vertex, pronotum (except metazona), tergites and legs densely spotted in coarse dark brown dots. Antennae densely annulated with dark rings. Head and pronotal dorsum with two lateral and a medial thin pale (almost white) stripes, the lateral ones broadening backwards in the metazona; such stripes but intermittent and greenish may be observed on abdominal tergites, where they border from both sides the lighter dorsal surface of the tergites. Lateral sides of metazona with two big reddish-pink spots separated or almost touching each other at the hind margin of metazona. Tegmina yellow with dark brownish-black stridulatory area. Femora and tibiae green or yellowinsh getting rusty brown or reddish apically. Abdomen green with the first and sometimes all tergites with a black spot mediobasally. Cerci and partly the 10 th abdominal tergum may be rustyreddish or cerci are yellowish. Cerci with black teeth and rarely the apical fourth of cerci is black. Female. Body shape and colouration as in the other representatives of the Subggroup 2 (Kaya et al. 2012), mostly resembling P. t urc i c u s. Ovipositor long for the group (9.2–10.1 mm), similar in length to the taxa of Subgroups 1 and 2 (l.c.). The lamellae (lateral processes of the base of the lower ovipositor valve) are short and laterally expanded with obtuse triangular lateral corners; the pit formed between lamellae and gonangulum is shallow, moderately wide. Measurements. see Table 1. Bioacoustics (Table 2). Male calling song (Figs 17 A, B, 21 A, B, 24) can be classified as typical for Subgroup 2 being of type 2 (see Kaya et al. 2012) by its resemblance to the song of P. turcicus (Fig. 22 A, B) and corresponds to the oscillograms presented on Fig. 161 in the latter study (Kaya et al. 2012: 58). The song consists of single or sparsely grouped syllables that depending on body temperature may be separated by intervals of 1–2 (25 °C) to over 10 seconds (low syllable repetition rate). The syllables are long—depending on the temperature they last from less than 300 ms to over 1 s. The syllable is clearly arranged into two parts on account of the mean impulse period—a first (early) part consisting of 14–21 sparse impulses (impulse period of 10–90 ms) and a second (late) part of 8–18 dense syllables (impulse period of 2–10 ms). Main song frequencies lie between 21 / 24 and 32 kHz with a peak around 25–26 kHz. In general the song can hardly be differentiated from that of P. turcicus, at the same temperature the average impulse period of the second syllable part being bigger in P. turcicus (at 17 °C over 6 ms in P. turcicus and less than 6 ms in P. warchalowskae). Distribution (Fig. 28) and ecology. P. warchalowskae sp. n. occurs in the southern part of East Thrace (European Turkey)—the Gelibolu (Gallipoli) Peninsula northwards to the region between Şarköy and Malkara (Çanakkale and Tekirdağ Provinces) where it co-occurs with P. sureyanus. It inhabits mesophytic and mesoxerophytic grass and shrub associations and keeps on Rubus spp., Sambucus ebulus, etc. The record of Poecilimon cf. anatolicus by Ünal (2004) from Bayırköy (Gelibolu district) is here tentatively referred to P. warchalowskae. Etymology. This new species is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Sci. Elżbieta Warchałowska-Śliwa in recognition of her contribution to the karyology and systematics of the bush-cricket families Tettigoniidae and Phaneropteridae. P. warchalowskae has been first collected and recognized as undescribed taxon during a field trip via grant N N 303 611738 to E. Warchałowska-Śliwa.Published as part of Chobanov, Dragan P., Kaya, Sarp & Çiplak, Battal, 2015, Contribution to the taxonomy of Poecilimon bosphoricus species group (Orthoptera: Phaneropteridae): two new species from its core range, pp. 63-76 in Zootaxa 3964 (1) on pages 68-70, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3964.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/28869

This does not stem directly from Ukraine s power but from its distinguished geopolitical position. Ethnically-politically divided structure of the country has been the starting point for analysis on each election. The process known as "Orange Revolution" of 2004-2005 concluded with failure because of various reasons, and, anew raising of the "Blues" who connotes "Russia" against the "Oranges" is being observed. However, because of structural reasons, it became difficult for the farewell to Orange wind to convert the anti-West attitude an official policy. In this study, Ukraine victory of Russia is examined within the frame of progressing West-Russia strategic relations

Besides economy, social life, domestic politics etc., Russia s intervention and defeat of Tbilisi revealed doubts over Georgia s West oriented foreign policy since 2004. Within this work, foreign policy followed by Saakashvili government since 2008 is investigated both regional and global dimensions. Within this context, besides the issues like US foreign policy towards the region and Georgia s relations with its first and second circle neighbours, the domestic political dynamics were included in the research subjects as well

Male; TURKEY—Van, Tendürek Mts, 39 ° 23.348 " N, 43 ° 56.011 E, 2412 m, 17.07. 2011 (Coll. B. Çıplak, S. Kaya, E.M. Korkmaz & D. Chobanov) (AUZM); Paratypes. 11 males and 7 females; same data as holotype. Diagnosis. This new species belongs to the Venosus Group and within this species group shows affinities with P. rugulosus and P. hakkari sp.n. as indicated by the slender and the long male cerci and comparatively less rugose pronotal disc of the female. Most of the linear metric analysis and geometric morphometric analyses of male cerci places the new species with P. rugulosus in a cluster, but that of ovipositor suggested it as an independent cluster within the Venosus Group. Additionally, P. tendurek sp.n. differs from P. rugulosus by the longer pronotum, hind femur and ovipositor. P. tendurek sp. n. and P. rugulosus are similar in song pattern by having two loud elements in a syllable, however, they differ in temporal parameters such as durations of syllable, second and fourth element of syllable. Genetic data were not presented here, but, genetic data suggest that P. tendurek is a sister species to P. hakkari sp. n. in a separate phylogroup with P. rugulosus. P. tendurek sp. n. differs from its sister species P. hakkari sp. n. by the relatively robust ovipositor and incurved male cerci. Genetic data also support its uniqueness. Etymology. Named after its type locality Tendürek Mountains located between Ağrı and Van Provinces of Turkey. Description Male (holotype). Medium sized for the genus, over medium sized for the group. Fastigium of vertex rounded, roughly 4–6 times as wide as scapus. Thorax. Pronotum (Fig. 10) long, at least one and half of first tibia, gradually widened backward; disc of pronotum flattened and depressed in the beginning of metazona, with rounded lateral margins, widely rounded hind margin and distinct tubercles in whole surface; paranotal lobes with weak tubercles; tegmina reach to mid of third abdominal tergite and covered by pronotum up to its half (Figs 10, 22). The stridulatory file has comparatively dense pegs, gradually increasing in size from the base and becoming largest in the middle of the file, the peg number varies between 147 and 178. Hind femora reach to tip of the abdomen (Fig. 6 A). Abdomen. Cerci (Fig. 34) comparatively long for the group; with a short and apically incurved tooth; wide prior to tooth, but getting narrow after it; widely incurved distal to tooth. Tenth tergite (Fig. 28) transverse and with a wide medial projection. Subgenital plate as in genus, with a shallow triangular incision and rounded apical lobes, styli small. Titillators (Fig. 40) as in species group, basal arms almost twice of apical arms and apical arms with spines along a margin dorsally. Colouration. General colouration pale olive green. Dorsum of head and disk of pronotum blackish olive green. Paranota dark olive green dorsally and dirty yellow or greenish yellow at margins. Tegmina brown with yellow veins. Femora and tibiae olive green, hind femur blackish green dorsally, tarsi reddish. Abdomen pale dark olive-green. Cerci yellowish brown. Song. Male calling song consists of irregular or partially regular (during a continuum singing) syllable series (Fig. 62 A). Each syllables consists of 4 elements, the first and the third elements are noisy, and the second and fourth are loud (Fig. 62 B). Syllable duration ranges between 85.57 and 134.17 (mean 109.72) ms. Duration of second element is 15.76–29.30 (mean 23.50) ms and consists of 11–27 (mean 17.93) impulses. Fourth element of syllable last 21.00– 47.90 (mean 35.93) ms and contains 16–37 (mean 25.28) impulses (Figs 62, 66; Tables 5, 6). Female. Disc of pronotum (Figs 6 B, 16) with rounded lateral margins, slightly swollen in prozona, flattened and widened in metazona, with a concave hind margin; its surface with less prominent tubercles when compared to male. Pronotal lateral plates as in male. Tegmina fully covered by pronotum, reduced to scale-like appendages. Hind femora do not extend to end of abdomen (Fig. 6 B). Subgenital (Fig. 52) plate short, incised medially at hind margin with rounded apical lobes slightly narrowing apicalward. Ovipositor (Fig. 46) robust when compared to other members of the group; long, roughly twice of pronotum in length. Colouration: totally olive green, with black spots at the base of abdominal terga, tarsi reddish as in male. Distribution. The new species occurs in alpine zone of the Tendürek Mts.

Especially prominent features are the male anal tergite shape with wide shallow medial incision and two triangular processes, the short male cercus with a long tooth, male subgenital plate with long styli and the robust titillators with enlarged basal arms and more spinose apical arms. The new species differs from its sister species (<i>P. davisi</i>) by the slender cercus with a tooth located in the middle (in <i>P. da v i s i</i> cercus is more robust and with a tooth located in its first half close to the base). Additionally, males of the new species produce two different song types; one of the songs is similar to that of <i>P. davisi</i> by including 4–6 elements in phrase unit while the second includes 7–8 elements in a unit. A phrase with 7–8 elements is unique for the genus. Our unpublished molecular data suggest that there is no gene exchange between these two species and they shared a common ancestor about two million years ago.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> Named after its range of occurrence in the Rize province, including its type locality, located on the northern slopes of Kaçkar Mountain Range in the north-east of Turkey.</p> <p> <b>Description Male (holotype)</b>.

Male; TURKEY – Hakkari, Yüksekova, 37 ° 51.998 N, 44 ° 38.358 E, 1902 m, 11.07. 2009 (Coll. E.M. Korkmaz, M. Budak & M. Yıldırım) (AUZM); Paratypes. 7 males and 6 females; same data as holotype. Diagnosis. This new species is belonging to the Venosus Group and within the species group show affinities with P. rugulosus and P. tendurek sp. n. by the slender and the long male cerci and comparatively less rugose pronotal disc of the female. This species is possibly the largest in the group in sizes of pronotum and hind femur in male and female, tegmina in male and ovipositor in female (Figs 57–59). Although geometric morphometric analysis of male cerci put the new species with P. rugulosus in a clustered, P. hakkari sp. n. differs from this species by the pronotum, hind femur and ovipositor. Genetic data were not presented here, but, genetic data suggest that P. hakkari sp. n. and P. tendurek as sister species in phylogroup with P. rugulosus. P. hakkari sp. n. differs from its sister species P. tendurek sp. n. by the longer pronotum, hind femur and ovipositor and the outcurved male cerci. Genetic data also support its uniqueness. Etymology. Named after its type locality Hakkari province located on north-west part of Zagros Range in the most east of Turkey. Description Male (holotype). Over medium sized for the genus and for the group. Fastigium of vertex rounded, roughly 3.57–5 times as wide as scapus. Thorax. Pronotum (Fig. 9) long, at least one and half of first tibia, gradually widened backward; disc of pronotum flattened and slightly depressed in the middle, with rounded lateral margins, widely rounded hind margin and with distinct tubercles in whole surface; paranotal lobes with weak tubercles; tegmina reach to end of the third abdominal tergite and covered by pronotum up to its half (Figs 9, 21). The stridulatory file has comparatively dense pegs, the peg number varies between 148 and 178. Hind femora reach to tip of the abdomen (Fig. 5 A). Abdomen. Cerci (Fig. 33) comparatively long for the group; with a short and apically outcurved tooth; wide prior to tooth, getting narrower after it. Tenth tergite (Fig. 27) transverse and with a wide medial projection. Subgenital plate as in genus, with a shallow triangular incision and rounded apical lobes; styli small. Titillarors (Fig. 39) as in the species group, basal arms almost twice of apical arms and apical arms with spines along a margin dorsally. Colouration. General colouration olive green. Dorsal of head and disk of pronotum blackish or marginally olive green. Paranota dark olive green dorsally and dirty yellow or greenish yellow at margins. Tegmina brown with yellow veins. Femora and tibiae olive green, hind femur blackish green dorsally, tarsi reddish. Abdomen pale dark olive-green. Cerci yellowish brown. Female. Disc of pronotum (Figs 5 B, 15) with rounded lateral margins, slightly swollen in prozona, flattened and widened in metazona, with a concave hind margin; its surface with less prominent tubercles when compared to male. Pronotal lateral plates as in male. Tegmina fully covered by pronotum, reduced to scale-like appendages. Hind femora do not extend to end of abdomen (Fig. 5 B). Subgenital (Fig. 51) plate short, incised medially at hind margin with rounded apical lobes slightly narrowing apicalward. Ovipositor (Fig. 45) robust when compared to other members of the group; long, roughly twice of pronotum in length. Colouration: totally olive green, with black spots at the base of abdominal terga, tarsi reddish as in male. Distribution.
