Abstract
This book is an attempt, to some extent, to revisit what has happened in the far and recent past and to remind the relations between the two nations, particularly to the young generations. For that purpose, it comprises my encounters with relevant circles in Aceh society and readings in various sources, including partly Hikayats, archival documents, and contemporary works in Turkish, English, and Bahasa Indonesia. Hence it is not to imply that this book is a complete history of relations between the Acehnese and the Ottomans. About this, it is not wrong if I urge that the tsunami brought about ancient relations between the Acehnese and the Ottomans to be remembered. At the same time, it is also right to ask whether any significant attention is given to these ancient and relatively recent relations as fundamentals for future ones. No doubt, it is also true that the modern period is mostly regarded as the lost decades for both nations. And during these lost decades, both nations were busier, mostly for their political fray, and no doubt, many things have already changed a lot. But it is true at the same time that the tsunami opened a potential channel as a counter-impact on the reinstatement of the lost relations.
