OSMANLI İMPARATORLUĞU’NUN SON DÖNEMLERİNDE BİTLİS’İN ETNİK VE DEMOGRAFİK YAPISI

Abstract

Bitlis is an ancient geography that has hosted important civilizations in the historical process. This region, which is dominated by a large number of Empires, kingdoms, principalities and similar administrations, is important for having a strategic structure. Both geographical structure of the region and being located on the important trade routes have caused a continuous ethnic, religious, economic and social mobility in the region. The historical and cultural wealth in question continued during the Ottoman Empire. In the Ottoman Empire, as in many parts of the Empire, it is seen that Muslims and non-Muslims live in unity and togetherness in Bitlis Province. However, it has been observed that some changes and transformations are experienced in Bitlis Province, especially with missionary activities. In this context, it is possible to say that ABCFM (American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions) has a serious impact on Christian communities in the region. In this study, the historical structure of Bitlis region also will be given. Then, during the period of Ottoman Empire, it will be informed about which ethnic groups lived in the region, the main characteristics of the population and the strategic importance of the region. In this context, demographic and ethnic structure of the region will be examined in the light of the sources. The study will also focus on the relations between different ethnic groups living in Bitlis Province.
