I-III, İstanbul, the Foundation for Establishing and Promoting Center» for Historical Research and Documentation, 1989, 371+441+391 pp. It is generally acknowledged that the Ottoman archives are one of the richest historical treasures of the world. For years, they have been utilized by a number of Turkish and foreign scholars, vvho are qualifıed to handle the documents. Research on the Ottoman Empire is becoming one of the leading disciplines in a number of foreign universities. One reason is that the Ottoman archives are, not only nationally, but also internationally significant. They constitute an invaluable source of the history of many centuries and peoples situated on three continents. About tvvo dozen nation- states have been formed as successors to the Ottoman Empire. Hence, the documents in question are indispensable sources for the study of the history of ali these peoples. Turkey has already assumed, under several cultural agreements, the responsibility of cooperation on the utilization of archive material on a reciprocal basis. The Ottoman documents frequently shed decisive light even on contemporary issues that need solution. Such conflicts range from ovvnership of land to former court decisions or frontier disputes. The Turkish side vvishes to make those manuscripts available to ali qualifıed scholars interested in any aspect of mutual history. * By Ttlrkkaya Ataöv. 102 THE TURKSH YEARBOOK [.

First you kill, and then the memory of killing is killed.” — Iris Chang, author of THE RAPE OF NANKING (1997), when the Japanese translation of her work was canceled by Basic Books due to threats from Japan, on May 20, 1999. “Historical amnesia has always been with us: we just keep forgetting we have it.” — Russell Shorto HDT WHAT? INDEX ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE 1825 Ever since the 14th Century, Turkey had been impressing the sons of Christian families into a special yeni chéri or “new army” branch of its armed forces. The size of this special religiously and ethnically segregated brigade of “janissaries” had reached 135,000, and it had become politically powerful, and it had become obnoxious to Muslims. The Sultan therefore had his faithful Muslim officers surround this Christian brigade with Muslim formations of overwhelming size, and after a brief struggle all 135,000 were slaughtered.1 1. The same sort of thing would happen at the conclusion of the Iran/Iraq war in our contemporary era. Iran had placed liberal secular young men in a special formation, and had placed this special formation in charge of a given sector of the frontier for the duration of the long war against Iraq. But at the end of the war, faced with the specter of having to reincorporate these liberal secular men into the Khomeini revolution, the religious leadership decided to trick them, disarm them, charge them with treason for not having behaved with sufficient martyr spirit (that is, basically, the treason of still being alive at the end of the war), and machine-gun them right there in the positions they had defended for nine years on the Iraqi border.

    1046 3 BOGAZiÇi LJNiVERSÏTESi DERGÏSi Begeri Bilimler — Humanities Vol. 7 •— 1979 FRICTION AND DISCORD WITHIN THE OTTOMAN GOVERNMENT UNDER ABDULHAMID II (1876-1909) Engin Deniz Akarli* ABSTRACT In this article, the deformation of the Ottoman structure of authority in the 19th century is discussed in the light of a set of documents from the reign of Abdulhamid Π (1876-1909). The documents involve the communication between the Sultan and his Grand Viziers on the demarcation of the mutual responsibilities and duties of the organs of the governmental apparatus. INTRODUCTION Intra-elite power struggle is common to all polities; it is a process that enables the articulation as well as the reconciliation of conflicting interests, material and ideal. Usually, there are set political norms according to which interests are reconciled, and established institutions within which the conflicting parties operate. The absence of such norms and institutions turns intra-elite power struggle into a chaotic conflict. 1 This was exactly what happened in the Ottoman State during the last century of its existence. The Ottoman political elite (or simply the Ottomans'2) found themselves driven ever deeper into a political crisis resulting from the erosion of traditional norms and political institutions, and from the failure to create a new organizational basis for conflict resolution. As the existing principles of legitimacy faded, the rules of power distribution and struggle became increasingly disordered. The separation of the making of political decisions from the administration of those decisions turned into an issue of constant dispute. In short, the Ottoman "structure of authority"3 lost its coherence, just as the state crumbled, failing to keep in step with the new world order that was being built under Western domination.4 a Dept.

  • Notes on the Development of Turkish and Oriental Studies in the German Speaking Lands1
    Türkiye Araştırmaları Literatür Dergisi, Cilt 8, Sayı 15, 2010, 7-76 Notes on the Development of Turkish and Oriental Studies in the German Speaking Lands1 Christoph HERZOG* HISTORICALLY, the academic fields of Turkology and Turkish studies2 have emerged as a part of a discipline that will be termed here “Oriental studies.”3 For the past decade, an upsurge of interest in the history of Oriental studies in Germany has been experi- enced.4 Because of the overarching character of Oriental studies, the tendency has been to treat them together. In fact, it would be hardly imaginable to delineate the field of Turkish studies without taking into account the general background of Oriental studies.5 The Birth of Turkish Studies out of Orientalist Philology In the first decades of the 19th century an evident, if undramatic, upswing of interest in Oriental themes occurred in German cultural production. In translations, travelogues, poetry, novels, but also in the opera, the imagination of the Oriental was reproduced for * Prof., Turkish Studies at the University of Bamberg, Germany. 1 Special thanks to Wayne Brittenden, Werner Ende, Barbara Henning and Klaus Kreiser for help with this article. Of course, any remaining errors are still mine. 2 Both expressions can be used synonymously, but there is a tendency to confine the term “Turkish studies” to the study of Turkey and its history, including the Ottoman Empire. The expression “Turkic studies” refers to the purely linguistic field of study of the Turkic languages. In German no equivalent of this term exists. 3 The German term “Orientalische Studien” was used already in the 1830s, while the word “Orientalistik” seems to have been coined only at the end of the 19th century; cf.

  • Preface by the Author's
    Preface by the Author’s Son My beloved father, who was neither a writer nor an historian, wrote his memoirs in Ottoman Turkish over an eleven-year period from 1961 to 1972, mostly when he was in his sixties. In doing so, he was recalling events some of which had occurred more than fifty years earlier. Having covered the period of half a century that had elapsed since his birth in 1903, he broke off his narrative when it had reached 1958 – the year when I left Alexandria to begin my further education in England. My father’s memoirs are of particular interest in that he is the only one of the Imperial Princes of the Ottoman Dynasty to have recorded not just what life was like in his homeland during the reign of the last Sultans – leading up to the time when the Imperial family were exiled from Turkey in 1924 – but also the course of events following their exile. With his death in 1983, the last of the Imperial Princes who had lived through the last years of the Ottoman Empire as an adult was lost to us. Those Imperial Princes who survived him were all children in 1924. My father was a unique witness to a turning point in history – a time when empires were being supplanted by new forms of government that had been inspired by the burgeoning ideals of nationalism and republicanism. These memoirs were written in the Arabic script: this is how my father learnt to write Turkish as the language was always written this way until November 1928, when Latin characters began to be used.

  • Ottoman Education Policy Against the Spread of Shiism in Iraq During the Time of Abdülhamid II
    Saving the Minds and Loyalties of Subjects: Ottoman Education Policy Against The Spread of Shiism in Iraq During The Time of Abdülhamid II Faruk Yaslıçimen [email protected] ABSTRACT Towards the end of the nineteenth century, Ottoman au- thorities realized that the Sunni orthopraxy and ipso facto state sovereignty in Iraq was in danger. They believed that the great numbers of Sunni masses converting to Shiism could pose a serious political risk in the near future. To guarantee the political loyalties of the subjects living in Iraq, the Ottoman authorities formulated a policy of educa- tion to protect and correct beliefs. This article explains how the Ottoman government during the time of Abdülhamid II applied counter-measures against the perceived spread of Shiism in Iraq. These included appointing single Sunni pro- fessors to madrasas, sending itinerant preachers among the 63 tribesmen to teach them the basic tenets of Sunnism, open- Dîvân DİSİPLİNLERARASI ing modern schools, and taking Iraqi Shiite boys at an early ÇALIŞMALAR DERGİSİ age to Istanbul to change their beliefs. The article further Cilt 21 say› 41 (2016/2), 63-108 addresses issues that emerged during the implementation of this policy, such as the questions of whether to select lo- cal or non-local ulama and how to overcome financial chal- Faruk YASLIÇİMEN lenges. Overall, the Ottoman policy of education aimed at disseminating an identity of Ottomanness (Osmanlılık) that included the correction of the beliefs of non-Sunni Muslim groups. This also meant re-defining Ottomanness in closer association with the Sunni interpretation of Islam. Keywords: Ottoman, Iraq, Nineteenth Century, State, Au- thority, Education, Madrasa, Ulama, School, Sunni, Shiite, Policy of Sectarianism.
