minorities in Jerusalem and its role in the balance of conflict between the
Ottomans and Europeans from 1516 to 1916. This study was analysed through two
main topics: First, the historical and political circumstances in which
Jerusalem was ruled by the Ottomans, and the most important religious
minorities in Jerusalem and the position of the Ottoman state towards them.  </span> <span style="font-size:14px;">Secondly, the activities and pursuits that
these religious minorities and missionary schools practiced in cooperation with
foreign countries and their consulates in Jerusalem. Besides the role they
played in the conflict between the Ottomans and the European powers from the beginning
of the eighteenth century. In our analysis, we relied on the Ottoman archival
documents in the Presidential Archives in Istanbul. </span> </span> </i>}, number={3}, publisher={Beytülmakdis Çalışmaları Vakfı}
