Osmanlı Türkleri İdaresinde Ermeniler

The relations between Turks and Armenians have first started in 11 t h century. Being subjects to the Ottoman rule starting with the 13t h century. Armenians have been treated justly, like other subjects of the Ottoman State, and have used their religious, linguistic, and cultural freedoms to its greatest extent. While non-Muslim societies under the Ottoman rule did not serve in the military nor be administrators until 1856, from then on, they acquired equal rights with the muslims. After the Greek Revolt they have been called "The Loyal nation" and started to take administrative posts. Of this minority group, persons such as Hala?yan have served even as ministers. European States have used first the non-muslim populations living in Ottoman land in the Balkans, and then the Armenians, in line with their "Eastern Questions Policy", so as to impede Ottoman Empire from industrialising. With the suppor and provocations o Russia and England, Armenians established rebel-lious associations and gangs. Due to nationalist, religious, economic, and strategic factors, the Armenian Problem and Events have started, with the 2 n d Constitutional Period these provocations and support have also been given to Muslim religious persons and groups so as to disintegrate the Ottoman State and have an administration in line with their will .
