First published in 1977. Although hundreds of books have been
published on the Armenian question and massacres, very little is
known about their services in the cultural, economic and
administrative life and development of the Ottoman Empire. This
study is an investigation into the contribution by Armenians to
Ottoman public life from 1860, when the Armenian community in
Turkey was given a new legislative Constitution on the basis of
Tanzimat (Reforms) until 1908, when the young Turks seized power
and there followed a bitterly fanatic policy of intolerance which
had tragic consequences for both the Armenians and the Turks. The
author has concentrated his investigations on the eastern provinces
of Anatolia, which earlier formed the western part of historic
Armenia and which in the diplomatic language of the nineteenth
century were referred to as 'provinces inhabited by Armenians'. To
these he has added the provinces of Syria, close to the
neighbouring Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, and where, especially in
and around Aleppo, old Armenian communities had settled. Both in
Anatolia and Syria, the Armenians were employed in various
administrative, judicial, economic and secretarial fields and, to a
lesser extent, in technical affairs, agriculture, education and
public health. The author shows how this contribution was made in
spite of the fact that for the Armenians these were years of
transition from their established status as a favoured Christian
millet to the tragic insecurity of a hunted people.
