The purpose of this study was to reveal the
Austrian policies towards the Catholic Armenians in the 18th and 19th centuries
and the effects of these policies on the relationships between Austria and the
Ottoman Empire. In the present research, the reason of Austria’s support to the
Catholic Armenians and the results of this condition were also be evaluated.
It is accepted that Mekhitar, a Catholic
Armenian priest, and the Mekhitarist priests, the members of Mekhitar’s
religious order, had a separate place in the development of the relationships
of the Catholic Armenians with the European states. In this regard, activities
of the Mekhitarist and the influences on the Catholic Armenians living in the
Ottoman country were investigated in the present study. Revealing the
activities of the Mekhitarist priests had an importance in terms of recognition
of Catholic sect in the Ottoman country in 1830 by Sultan II. Mahmud officially
and understanding the relations between the Ottoman Empire and Austria during
this period.
In this study, available documents about
Catholic Armenians and Mekhitarists in the Ottoman Archives of the Prime
Ministry, the works of the researchers who were the members of the Mekhitarist
Unity and others sources related to the period were examined.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, XVIII. ve XIX.
yüzyıllarda Avusturya’nın Katolik Ermenilere yönelik politikalarını ve bu
politikaların Avusturya-Osmanlı ilişkilerine tesirlerini ortaya koymaktır.
Araştırmada ayrıca Avusturya’nın Katolik Ermenilere desteğinin gerekçesi ve bu durumun
sonuçları da değerlendirilmiştir.
Katolik Ermenilerin, Avrupalı devletlerle
ilişkilerinin gelişmesinde Katolik bir Ermeni rahip olan Mihitar ve tarikatına
mensup Mihitarist rahiplerin ayrı bir yeri olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Bu
bağlamda araştırmada, Mihitaristlerin faaliyetleri ve Osmanlı ülkesinde bulunan
Katolik Ermeniler üzerindeki tesirleri de irdelenecektir. Mihitarist rahiplerin
faaliyetlerinin ortaya konulması, Osmanlı ülkesinde Sultan II. Mahmud
tarafından 1830’da Katolik mezhebinin resmen tanınması ve bu süreçte Avusturya
ile Osmanlı Devleti’nin ilişkilerinin anlaşılması açısından önem arzetmektedir.
Araştırmada Başbakanlık Osmanlı Arşivinde
Katolik Ermeniler ve Mihitaristlerle ilgili mevcut belgelere, Mihitarist
Birliğine mensup araştırmacıların eserlerine ve dönemle ilgili diğer kaynaklara
müracaat edilmiştir.
