In the period of the treaty of Passarowitz within the Ottoman’s and Austrian’s, the Ottoman Empire attaches importance to the normalization of relations with the European states. In this period, ambassadors were sent to some states in Europe to establish good relations with the West. The Ottoman Empire, which had the opportunity to get to know Europe more closely through the reports of these embassy reports, was acquainted with western style diplomatic methods and also had the opportunity to examine the social, cultural and technological differences of the West. The Embassy Reports (Sefaretnames), which are one of the important varieties of Divan literature, which are generally written in prose, are also important documents of the Ottoman modernization and diplomacy history. Some of the approximately forty-six embassy samples that have survived to the present day were later used as sources by historians or chroniclers, and some were even published. The most well-known of these, the Paris Embassy of twenty-eight Çelebi Mehmet Efendi, is stated among the "100 Basic Works" by the Ministry of National Education Board of Education and Discipline, and is included in the secondary school textbooks.
