Bayburt
Bayburt is a city in northeast Turkey lying on the Çoruh River and is the provincial capital of Bayburt Province.
Bayburt was once an important center on the ancient Silk Road. It was visited by Marco Polo and Evliya Celebi. Remains of its medieval castle still exist. There are several historical mosques, Turkish baths, and tombs in the city. There are also ancient historical sites such as the Çatalçeşme Underground Complex and natural wonders like the Sirakayalar Waterfall in the other parts of the province.
Name
The name of the town was formerly written in English as Baiburt. It was known as Paipert under the Byzantines. The name derives from the medieval Armenian Baydbert (Բայտբերդ), which derives from its ancient name Ambatavan (Ամբատավան).
History
Bayburt strattles the Çoruh amid an open and fertile plateau on the route between Trebizond and Erzerum. It was originally founded by the Azzi people. It was subsequently settled or conquered by the Cimmerians in the 8th century BC, the Medes in the 7th century BC, then the Persians, Pontus, Rome, the Byzantines, the Bagratid Armenian Kingdom, the Seljuk Turks, the Aq Qoyunlu, Safavid Persia, and then the Ottoman Turks.
Bayburt (electoral district)
Bayburt is an electoral district of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. It elects one member of parliament (deputies) to represent the province of the same name for a four-year term, using the D'Hondt method, a party-list proportional representation system.
Members
Population reviews of each electoral district are conducted before each general election, which can lead to certain districts being granted a smaller or greater number of parliamentary seats. Bayburt elected two Members of Parliament between 1999 and 2007. However, with population growth not keeping up with the rest of the country, Bayburt became Turkey's only single-member electoral constituency for the 2011 general election. Ülkü Gökalp Güney won the most votes in the 2002 general election and joined the AKP in order to contest the 2007 general election.

Moments Like This
by: B. ReithI was young,
I was told
I should follow my dreams
from my worse broken heart
to a world that just seems
to move on...
Dance with the wind,
now she's gone.
I've been down on my luck
Yeah I've fallen from grace.
I've had beautiful eyes stare me right in the face.
And move on...
Dance with the wind,
now she's gone.
No need to talk about it.
Like it won't happen,
'cause the chances are that it will.
And moments like this will bring you down.
Moments like this will bring you round.
Moments like this will make you strong.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
No more searching for signs
for a song I can sing.
Now I'm living my life
like a bird on a wing.
Movin' on...
Dance with the wind,
feeling strong.
No need to talk about it.
Like it won't happen,
'cause the chances are that it will.
Try not to talk about it,
just get it started.
Don't waste your time standing still.
And moments like this will bring you down.
Moments like this will bring you round.
Moments like this will make you strong.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
And moments like this will bring you down.
Moments like this will bring you round.
Moments like this will make you strong.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
If it don't kill you, it makes you strong.
If it don't kill you, it makes you strong.
If it don't kill you, it makes you strong.
