French term or phrase: topanet

Les forts et batteries, qui étaient appelées pendant l’époque ottomane topanet,

akretchefazia

English translation:topanet

Explanation:
Seems to be the turkisk word.

Top means gun or cannon.

http://en.bab.la/dictionary/turkish-english/top

This is the word for artillery : topçuluk

http://en.bab.la/dictionary/english-turkish/artillery

So 'top' has to do with guns, arms, cannons, artillery, etc.

'anet' might just be where the weapons are located.

So, the fort is the 'anet' where the place where the 'top' is/are.

Simply put, this is the turkish word (maybe old turkish as this is the Ottoman period)
