I tried Apuleian Sphere even though I couldn't link it with Netherlands - it's also wrong.
I also didn't really check the soldiers leaving the city part either :/

|
The actual Netherlands, or, in the Jacques Cousteau atmosphere, beneath the land?
|
|
|
|
The actual one because the clue was in Turkish and 'the Netherlands' & 'beneath the land' are very very different things in Turkish.

So, I tried Descartes Highlands but it's wrong.
My thought process was;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descartes_Highlands
I'm looking through René Descartes. There is a spot named Descartes Highlands on the moon that Apollo 16 landed which means you can see the Netherlands, right? Descartes also spent quite a lot of time in the Netherlands too. The reason why it named after him is (if I'm not wrong), it has something to do with Descartes's formations.
He's one of the writers of Atena Lectures de Filosofia. Athena is a Greek goddess. It says in the wiki that "She's known as Athena Parthenos "Athena the Virgin," but in one archaic Attic myth, the god Hephaestus tried and failed to rape her" maybe that was the answer to her lover? Though this part feels like a stretch.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Descartes#Sweden
"By 1649, Descartes had become one of Europe's most famous philosophers and scientists.[53] That year, Queen Christina of Sweden invited Descartes to her court to organize a new scientific academy and tutor her in his ideas about love."
That might be the presidency of a federation, right?
I couldn't link the troops retracting & the thing's name origin is Italian. Oh, and the record thing.

The clue count is pretty high IMO so the answer might be found soon.

New clue is
Quote ( Ahmet Sonverdi @ June 29th 2020,10:33:53 ) ***In one of his/her works (books), it's been told that soldiers (we don't know which soldiers) who occupied the city (we don't know which city), have left the city after a game.
This happened in Thirty Years' War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War

"The remnants of the Protestant armies, led by Mansfeld and Duke Christian of Brunswick, withdrew into Dutch service. Although their arrival in the Netherlands did help to lift the siege of Bergen-op-Zoom (October 1622), the Dutch could not provide permanent shelter for them. They were paid off and sent to occupy neighboring East Frisia. Mansfeld remained in the Dutch Republic, but Christian wandered off to "assist" his kin in the Lower Saxon Circle, attracting the attentions of Count Tilly. With the news that Mansfeld would not be supporting him, Christian's army began a steady retreat toward the safety of the Dutch border."
I believe this part is where the clue about the retreat.
