Notes
The intellectual movements that came with the French Revolution in 1789 also influenced the Ottoman Empire. Having completed the industrial revolution, the West caught the Ottoman Empire in complacency. The West made the Ottomans accept its superiority. The Ottoman Empire, which was engaged in development efforts, and the Isiahat movement, which the West presented to them as the only prescription, was a hope and a right for the minorities. Seeing this, the so-called intellectuals became relentless advocates of these reform movements. The Constitutional Monarchy, which would finally bring peace to the country, was declared in 1876. The Constitutional Monarchy abolished the authority of the Sultan and established parliamentary sovereignty. Elections were held. The distribution of deputies in the first parliament was as follows. 67 of the deputies were Muslims and 46 were non-Muslims. Interest in the Constitutional Monarchy, which was declared in Beyazıt Square on 23 December 1876, was quite high. Turks, Greeks and Armenians gave speeches in their own languages. The Christian spiritual leader visited Grand Vizier Mithat Pasha and congratulated and thanked him (2). The Parliament turned into a struggle of Milliyet groups instead of party groups. Non-Muslim elements took the personal freedom of the Constitution to mean national freedom, and even the right to autonomy and independence. Although the official language was Turkish according to the constitution, Armenian and Greek deputies went so far as to want their own languages to be the official languages (3). Seeing this situation, Abdulhamid II suspended the parliament indefinitely on February 13, 1878. Even though the Sultan prorogued the parliament, he did not abolish the Constitution.
