XIX. Yüzyıldan XX. Yüzyıla Ankara’da Göç ve İskân (1856-1918), Doktora Tezi, Ankara, 2020. XIX. yüzyıldan günümüze kadar yaĢanan siyasî geliĢmelerle doğru orantılı olarak dünyanın pek çok farklı yerinde olduğu gibi Anadolu coğrafyasında da demografik açıdan önemli hadiselerin meydana geldiği yadsınamaz bir gerçektir. Osmanlı Devleti‟nde içe dönük göç olgusu XVIII. yüzyılın son çeyreğinden itibaren baĢ göstermiĢ olsa da, asıl yoğunluğun Kırım Harbi‟nin (1856) ardından gerçekleĢtiği bilinmektedir. 1877-78 Osmanlı Rus Harbi ise göçler konusunda en önemli kırılma noktasıdır. 1877-78 Osmanlı Rus Harbi‟nden sonra birçok farklı muhacir grubu, kitleler halinde Anadolu‟ya göç etmiĢtir. Balkan SavaĢlarının da meydana gelen göç hadiselerinde önemli bir etkisinin olduğu muhakkaktır. Osmanlı Devleti‟nin tarih sahnesinden çekilmesinden sonra da -Cumhuriyet devrinde- Anadolu coğrafyasına göçlerin devam ettiği oldukça maruftur. Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarından itibaren meydana gelen göçler aralıklarla ve çeĢitli yoğunluklarla günümüze kadar süregelmiĢtir. XVIII. yüzyılın son çeyreğinden itibaren baĢlayıp günümüze kadar devam eden göç hadiselerinde Anadolu‟nun pek çok vilayeti gibi Ankara da önemli bir iskân sahası olmuĢtur. Bu süreçte Ankara‟ya, Kırım ve Kafkaslar‟dan Tatar ve Nogaylar; Kafkaslar‟dan bunların (Tatar ve Nogay) yanında Karaçay-Malkar, Abaza (Abhaz), Çerkes (Adige) ve Çeçenler; Rumeli‟den ise BoĢnak ve Arnavutlar‟ın yanında Romanya, Kosova, Bulgaristan ve Yunanistan‟dan Türkler/Müslümanlar göç etmiĢtir. Romanya‟dan (özellikle de Dobruca‟dan) gelen muhacirlerin önemli bir kısmı Kırım kökenli Tatarlardır. Bunun yanında Ankara‟ya Rusya‟nın Ufa, Kazan ve Kuban vilayetlerinden gelen Tatar ve Nogay muhacirler de iskân olunmuĢtur. Bu süreçte gelen muhacirler Ankara‟da daha çok bugünkü Haymana, GölbaĢı, Polatlı, Balâ, Sincan (Zir), Çubuk, ġereflikoçhisar, Kahramankazan (Murtazaâbâd), AyaĢ ve Akyurt kazalarına yerleĢtirilmiĢtir. Ankara‟nın merkezinde de bir kısım muhacirin iskân edildiği anlaĢılmaktadır. Bahsi geçen mahallerde muhacirler için teĢkil edilen yerleĢim alanlarının önemli bir kısmı mevcut demografik yapılarını koruyarak günümüze kadar ulaĢmıĢtır. Bu yaĢam sahalarından bir kısmının nüfusu oldukça azalsa da hâlen Ankara‟da 50‟ye yakın muhacir yerleĢim alanı varlığını korumaktadır. GiriĢ ve üç bölümden oluĢan bu çalıĢmada göçlere neden olan geliĢmelere kısaca değinildikten sonra, Ankara‟ya muhacir iskânının sebepleri, Ankara‟da iskân olunan muhacir grupları, iskân sırasında karĢılaĢılan sorunlar, muhacirlere yapılan yardımlar ve sağlanan ayrıcalıklar ile muhacir iskânının Ankara‟ya etkileri/katkıları arĢiv kayıtlarına ve saha araĢtırmalarına dayalı olarak ele alınacaktır.

Migration and Resettlement in Ankara from the XIXth to XXth Centuries (1856- 1918), Ph.D. Dissertation, Ankara, 2020. Depending on the political developments from the XIXth century, like many places of the world, Anatolia witnessed significant demographic movements. Though internal migration emerged within the Ottoman Empire during the last quarter of the XVIIIth century, the intensity of the migration ocured after the Crimean War (1856). 1877-78 Ottoman-Russian War was a breaking point regarding the migration. After this war, numerous immigrant groups migrated to Anatolia in masses. The Balkan Wars also played role in the migrations. It is also known that, after the Ottoman Empire, the period of Turkish Republic experienced the examples of migrations to Anatolia. The migrations have been going on from the early years of the Turkish Republic till today. Like many provinces of Anatolia, Ankara was an important center for settlement during the migrations which started in the last part of the XVIIIth century and are still continuing. Accordingly, Tatars and Nogais from Crimea and the Caucasus; Karachay-Malkar, Abkhaz, Circassian and Chechen communities from the Caucasus; Bosnians and Albanians from the Balkans and Rumelia, along with Turkish/Muslims from Romania, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Greece migrated to Ankara. Most of the immigrants from Romania (especially from Dobruja) were Tatars with Crimea origins. In addition to those, Tatars and Nogais from the cities of Ufa, Kazan and Kuban of Russia were settled in Ankara. The aforementioned immigrants were mostly settled in Haymana, GölbaĢı, Balâ, Sincan (Zir), Çubuk, ġereflikoçhisar, Kahramankazan (Murtazaâbâd), AyaĢ and Akyurt districts of Ankara. There are also evidences for the settlement of some immigrants in the center of Ankara. Most of the settlements built for the immigrants conserve their demographic structure and survive today. Although the population of some of these settlements decreased in time, there are still approximately 50 immigrant settlements in Ankara. In this study, which consists of an introduction and three chapters, the factors bringing about the migration will be evaluated. Then, the reasons of immigrant settlements and the immigrant communities resettled in Ankara, the problems faced during the resettlement, aid and priviliges provided to resettled immigrants and the effects and contributions of the immigrants to Ankara will be discussed based on archival sources and field researches. Key Words: Ankara, immigrant, resettlement, Tatar, Nogais, Bosnians, Circassians, Karachay. xi ĠÇĠNDEKĠLER KABUL VE ONAY ......................................................................................................... v YAYIMLAMA VE FĠKRĠ MÜLKĠYET HAKLARI BEYANI................................. vi ETĠK BEYAN ................................................................................................................ vii TEġEKKÜR ................................................................................................................. viii ÖZET ............................................................................................................................... ix ABSTRACT ..................................................................................................................... x ĠÇĠNDEKĠLER .............................................................................................................. xi KISALTMALAR .......................................................................................................... xv TABLOLAR ................................................................................................................. xix HARĠTALAR .............................................................................................................. xxii PLANLAR .................................................................................................................. xxiii FOTOĞRAFLAR ....................................................................................................... xxiv GĠRĠġ ..............................................................................................................................

Dissertation Advisor: Catherine Evtuhov, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Based upon a reading of Ottoman, Russian, and Bulgarian archival documents, this dissertation examines the response by the Ottoman and Russian states to the accelerated pace of migration and spread of disease in the Black Sea region from the outbreak of the Russo-Ottoman War of 1768-1774 to the signing of the Treaty of Hünkar Iskelesi in 1833. Building upon introductory chapters on the Russian-Ottoman Black Sea frontier and a case study of Bulgarian population movements between the Russian and Ottoman Empires, this dissertation analyzes Russian and Ottoman migration and settlement policies, the spread of epidemic diseases (plague and cholera) in the Black Sea region, the construction of quarantines and the implementation of travel document regimes.

  • Political and Economic Transition of Ottoman Sovereignty from a Sole Monarch to Numerous Ottoman Elites, 1683–1750S
    Acta Orientalia Academiae Scientiarum Hung. Volume 70 (1), 49 – 90 (2017) DOI: 10.1556/062.2017.70.1.4 POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC TRANSITION OF OTTOMAN SOVEREIGNTY FROM A SOLE MONARCH TO NUMEROUS OTTOMAN ELITES, 1683–1750S BIROL GÜNDOĞDU Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen Historisches Institut, Osteuropäische Geschichte Otto-Behaghel-Str. 10, Haus D Raum 205, 35394 Gießen, Deutschland e-mail: [email protected] The aim of this paper is to reveal the transformation of the Ottoman Empire following the debacles of the second siege of Vienna in 1683. The failures compelled the Ottoman state to change its socio- economic and political structure. As a result of this transition of the state structure, which brought about a so-called “redistribution of power” in the empire, new Ottoman elites emerged from 1683 until the 1750s. We have divided the above time span into three stages that will greatly help us com- prehend the Ottoman transition from sultanic authority to numerous autonomies of first Muslim, then non-Muslim elites of the Ottoman Empire. During the first period (1683–1699) we see the emergence of Muslim power players at the expense of sultanic authority. In the second stage (1699–1730) we observe the sultans’ unsuccessful attempts to revive their authority. In the third period (1730–1750) we witness the emergence of non-Muslim notables who gradually came into power with the help of both the sultans and external powers. At the end of this last stage, not only did the authority of Ottoman sultans decrease enormously, but a new era evolved where Muslim and non-Muslim leading figures both fought and co-operated with one another for a new distribution of wealth in the Ottoman Empire.

  • Letters from Vidin: a Study of Ottoman Governmentality and Politics of Local Administration, 1864-1877
    LETTERS FROM VIDIN: A STUDY OF OTTOMAN GOVERNMENTALITY AND POLITICS OF LOCAL ADMINISTRATION, 1864-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Mehmet Safa Saracoglu ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Carter Vaughn Findley, Adviser Professor Jane Hathaway ______________________ Professor Kenneth Andrien Adviser History Graduate Program Copyright by Mehmet Safa Saracoglu 2007 ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on the local administrative practices in Vidin County during 1860s and 1870s. Vidin County, as defined by the Ottoman Provincial Regulation of 1864, is the area that includes the districts of Vidin (the administrative center), ‛Adliye (modern-day Kula), Belgradcık (Belogradchik), Berkofça (Bergovitsa), İvraca (Vratsa), Rahova (Rahovo), and Lom (Lom), all of which are located in modern-day Bulgaria. My focus is mostly on the post-1864 period primarily due to the document utilized for this dissertation: the copy registers of the county administrative council in Vidin. Doing a close reading of these copy registers together with other primary and secondary sources this dissertation analyzes the politics of local administration in Vidin as a case study to understand the Ottoman governmentality in the second half of the nineteenth century. The main thesis of this study contends that the local inhabitants of Vidin effectively used the institutional framework of local administration ii in this period of transformation in order to devise strategies that served their interests. This work distances itself from an understanding of the nineteenth-century local politics as polarized between a dominating local government trying to impose unprecedented reforms designed at the imperial center on the one hand, and an oppressed but nevertheless resistant people, rebelling against the insensitive policies of the state on the other.

Feryal Tansu ğ 2008 ABSTRACT COMMUNAL RELATIONS IN ĐZM ĐR/SMYRNA, 1826-1864: AS SEEN THROUGH THE PRISM OF GREEK-TURKISH RELATIONS by Feryal Tansu ğ Doctor of Philosophy Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto 2008 This dissertation examines the level of social and cultural interaction between the Greek and Turkish communities of Đzmir and the impact of the centralizing Ottoman reforms on the society of Đzmir during the age of the Ottoman modernization. It focuses on the years between 1826 and 1864 that marked a turning point in the administrative history of the Ottoman Empire. Analyzing this subject requires understanding the social-cultural and economic dynamics of Đzmir that played a crucial role in the formation of the social fabric of the city. Ottoman-Turkish archival material and to some extent Greek newspapers of the time are used as primary sources. The sources discussed in this dissertation demonstrate that the central authority attempted to re- integrate Đzmir into its administrative and political structure in accordance with the centralizing or repressive Tanzimat reforms. However, Tanzimat reforms did not disturb the social cohesion of Đzmir, which the city produced over the centuries with its local character and some peculiar dynamics. The evidence also indicates that the Empire did not aim to mold social relations in Đzmir, instead benefited from city’s already existing social-cultural and economic situation, which was well suited to its modernization program.

    All Azimuth V9, N1, 2020, 83-104 Deconstructing the Sykes-Picot Myth: Frontiers, Boundaries, Borders and the Evolution of Ottoman Territoriality Ali Murat Kurşun Aberystwyth University Abstract This study aims to evaluate the emergence of the Sykes-Picot order and deconstruct its mythologization by proposing an evolutionary assessment of border understanding. This study addresses the following primary research questions: How did the interplay of domestic, regional, and international developments lay the groundwork for the formation of the Sykes-Picot territorial order? How was the administrative structure and regional divisions before the Sykes-Picot agreement and to which border categorizations did these structures correspond? Was the Sykes-Picot agreement the only international intervention that affected the borders of the region or were there other international interventions before the Sykes-Picot agreement? This study argues that the history of Middle Eastern border formation is not only an international one but also involves many aspects that have not widely been taken into consideration. In doing so, this paper adopts a critical historical perspective to analyze the evolution of Middle Eastern borders. This paper proposes a three-tracked evolutionary analytical framework (frontiers, boundaries, borders) to analyze the emergence of borders and applies it to the emergence of Ottoman territoriality. This study concludes that the Sykes-Picot agreement is only one, complementary part of a long process in the emergence of Middle Eastern geopolitics. Keywords: Ottoman territoriality, Sykes-Picot Agreement, Middle Eastern borders, border studies 1. Introduction In November 1915, Mark Sykes, advisor to British Secretary of State for War Lord Kitchener, and French former consul in Beirut François Georges Picot were tasked by their respective governments to craft an acceptable post-war partition map for the Middle East.

Osmanlı İmparatorluğunda Tanzimat ile birlikte devletin idari açıdan yeniden teşkilatlanması ve eğitim kurumlarının değişimi başlamıştır. Yönetsel açıdan merkezileşmeye ek olarak Tanzimat reformları ile eğitim politikaları ve anlayışı da değişmiştir. İstanbul’da başlayan bu değişimler daha sonra taşraya da ulaşmıştır. Bu reform politikaları Ankara’da da etkisini göstermiş, sosyo-ekonomik değişikliklere yol açmıştır. Bununla birlikte, Tanzimat reformları Ankara’daki yerel yapıyı çok fazla etkilememiş Tanzimat sonrası ortaya çıkan eğitim kurumları Ankara’yı da eğitimsel açıdan etkilemiş ve Ankara’da batılı tarzda okullar faaliyete geçmiştir. Çalışmada Tanzimat sonrasında Ankara’daki eğitimin evrimi ve dönüşümü istatistikler, yıllıklar ve arşiv dokümanlarına dayanarak analiz edilmiş ve Cumhuriyet’e nasıl bir miras bırakıldığı belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır.

  • Ottoman Constructions of the Morea Rebellion, 1770S: a Comprehensive Study of Ottoman Attitudes to the Greek Uprising
    Ottoman Constructions of the Morea Rebellion, 1770s: A Comprehensive Study of Ottoman Attitudes to the Greek Uprising by Birol Gundogdu A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto © Birol Gundogdu 2012 Ottoman Constructions of the Morea Rebellion, 1770s: A Comprehensive Study of Ottoman Attitudes to the Greek Uprising Birol Gundogdu Doctor of Philosophy Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto 2012 Abstract The topic of our dissertation concerns the Greek uprisings against the Ottoman Empire, which took place in the context of the Ottoman-Russian struggle of 1768-1774. That is, our research focuses on the Morea Rebellion which is often claimed as not only the first crucial step on the way towards creating an independent Greek state, which came into being in 1829 with the treaty of London, but also occasionally as one of the most significant turning points both for the history of the Ottoman Empire and for the struggle of Greek independence. The meaning of the Morea Rebellion has long been under discussion among Greek historians. While we will deal with Ottoman side of the issue, this study will shed light on matters of Greek historiography which has been generally been created without taking account of the Ottoman side of the story. In the light of Ottoman archival documents as well as writings of earlier, more contemporary sources, we will argue for the complexity and intricacy of the Morea Rebellion, as reflected in the Ottoman documents, many of which have not been used before.

    “Remembering” Egypt’s Ottoman Past: Ottoman Consciousness in Egypt, 1841-1914 Dissertation Presented in the Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Doğa Öztürk, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee Prof. Carter V. Findley, Advisor Prof. Jane Hathaway Prof. Scott Levi Copyrighted by Doğa Öztürk 2020 Abstract Scholarship on modern Egyptian history supports a narrative that depicts Egypt emerging as an independent political entity in the mid-19th century and steadily marching towards becoming a sovereign nation-state in the first decades of the 20th century. The Ottoman cultural context, within which Egypt operated at this time, is usually nowhere to be found in this story. This dissertation remedies this gap in the literature and “remembers” Egypt’s Ottoman past between 1841, when Mehmed Ali Pasha was granted the hereditary governorship of Egypt, and 1914, when Egypt’s remaining political ties to the Ottoman Empire were severed by the British Empire. Primarily based on a variety of sources produced in Arabic and Ottoman Turkish, it argues that even though the political ties between Istanbul and Cairo were weakening and a more distinct Egyptian identity was on the rise at this time, the Ottoman cultural consciousness continued to provide an important framework for the ruling and intellectual elite of Egypt, as well as the wider segments of the Egyptian public, until World War I. Taking a thematic approach to the subject, the dissertation demonstrates how the Ottoman imperial court culture provided a blueprint for the ruling elite in Egypt.
