Zeytun was a rough, rugged town; therefore it was administrated insort of a feudal system by local lords, known as “Ishans”. Zeytun’smountainous location and its remoteness of city and centers caused it to bea meeting point for outlaws and criminals in the last decades of the OttomanEmpire. As a result of these circumstances, dozens of uprisings have occurredin Zeytun in response to taxation issues and other reasons. In this context, Zeytun witnessed two Armenian rebellions at end of the RussoOttoman War of 1877-1878 and during the Congress of Berlin, as well as in1879. The Ottoman government appointed officers for suppressing the riots inthe district. However, their practices were continuously criticized, by GreatBritain and complained to the Ottoman government. Ultimately, Said Pasha theEnglishman who had studied in Great Britain for a long time, was appointedto subside the rebellions. Said Pasha proclaimed amnesty for rioters andimplemented reforms in Zeytun in order to calm the issue and disallow theintervention of Great Powers. Moreover, Said Pasha took notes in his diary,named Jurnal. He wrote his observations and analysis about Zeytun and alsodocumented the reasons for the uprisings. In addition, he copied to his dairythe investigation reports of Zeytun and dispatches sent from the Sublime Porte UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/erma/issue//521004 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/639488 ER -
