Abstract

Translate Article

The effort to dominate other countries has led to many wars. They developed various weapons and tried to destroy what they saw as enemies. However, weapons were not always enough in wars. It was necessary to know what kind of preparations the other party made, what their weapons and military power were. If these are known, you will know what to do and take measures accordingly, so you will have the chance to prevail in your moves. Obtaining such confidential information without permission would naturally be very difficult. The importance of women among spies cannot be denied either. Men's weakness towards them has given significant advantages in doing their job. These include Mata Hari, Krystina Skarberk, Marthe Richard, and Elizabeth Bentley. By the way, it would not be fair not to mention the name Emine Adalet, the very famous first Turkish woman spy. Turkish Mata Hari. The female spy of the Turkish National Intelligence, who provided Turkish Government invaluable information to stay out of World War II. We use the word JASUS for spy which comes from the Arabic verb JASSA ,)( which means researched, asked. Spies played an important role in winning wars. Semensa, which is our subject, is among those who spied on both sides. However, in the old times when the conditions were much more difficult, it is not seen that those who attempted this work were very willing. For example, the period of the spy Semensa we discussed in our article is XVth century. It was out of the question that someone whose ruler had commissioned him to be a spy would oppose it. Semensa was forced to spy by Uzun Hasan during the Otlukbeli war between Mehmed the Conqueror and Uzun Hasan, the ruler of Akkoyunlu. As for the name Semensa, in Persian it means similar to jasmine. Another meaning for Semensa is judicious, honest. He speaks Turkish and there is no information that he is Persian.
