The Dynamics Affecting the Relations of Armenian Patriarchate With the Ottoman Government (The First Half of the 18th Century)
Abstract
In this study, the main framework of the relationship of Istanbul Armenian Patriarchate with the Ottoman Government in the first half of the 18th century has been discussed. The original sources of the study consist of the documents and records in the Prime Ministry Ottoman Archives. Especially among these sources, the petitions (arzuhâls) about various issues which were submitted to the Government by Armenian Patriarchs are very important. They provide valuable information about the bureaucratic process between the two sides. Thus, in this study, firstly, based on the formal properties of the documents, the visible action of the relationship has been reviewed. Later, by viewing the content of the records, it has been tried to be understood what the main dynamics are (such as the appointment of marhasa, fiscal issues, the relation with Jerusalem Patriarchate, corruption among the community etc.) that affected the relationship of the Patriarchate with the Ottoman Government.
