"Drought in Anatolia brought the end of the Hittites
According to Professor Hasan Bahar, a lecturer in the history department of the Faculty of Sciences and Letters at Selçuk University, the drought that Turkey is currently facing is similar to the problems faced by the many civilizations that have lived in Anatolia over the ages. Drought brought the end of Hittites, who established a kingdom centered in north-central Anatolia. The devastation wrought by the shortage of water was incalculable. Bahar said that the Hittites, who established a kingdom centered in north-central Anatolia, were the most affected by drought."
