Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 52
Abstract
The fires in history and in the all regions are the incidents that sometimes came out deliberately or accidently. It is valid for the fires that appeared in the last term of Ottoman Empire. In World War I and National Contention lots of city, district and village fires experienced in Anatolia. The archives expose that the most part of these fires made by rebelian Armenian and the other parts made by Greeks during the withdrawing of Greeks at the end of the National Contention. This work, is in a position as a criticism for the book “1969 Ankara Yangını/Felaketin Mantığı” writen by Esin ve Etöz which opposite to the thesis about the fires at the last term of Ottoman Empire; chosen files, memories, narriatives and to try to produve scientific information with the second-third degrees witnesses; try to combine the estimates, hypothesis and supposition with the theory to point out the Turkish as the quilty. The current study was conducted by taking the method,morphological properties, qualities of sources, and missing aspects of subject book, into consideration. Besides comparison of sources, it has been thought that the authors prefering mostly individual historical sources to archival documents can lead to weaknesses of the method in social sciences. Therefore, this study criticizes the document valueness of memories and narratives as well as second-hand witnesses. It is seen that Esin and Etöz’s study could not evaluate Ottoman fires in the last years objectively. Throughout the current study, the content of the book and the authors’ attitudes will be criticized scientifically.
