Armenian -Turkish Relations: 1895-1909
Abstract:
This is a study of the relations between the Turkish-Ottoman governments and Armenian
political societies and organizations. It is based on primary and secondary sources. It
addresses the whole spectrum of negotiations conducted respectively between the
representatives of the Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II and the Ittihad ve Terakki Firkasi
(Union and Progress Party) on the Turkish side, and members of Armenian revolutionary
organizations on the other. The narrative: 1) examines and analyses the period of
rapprochement between the two sides, 2) Dwells on the incompatibility of such a
marriage, and finally, 3) focuses on the reasons of Armenian agrarian problems in the
eastern provinces of the Ottoman Empire from 1895-1909.
