The Young Turks

As I looked in the websites and books listed in the citation section of my paper, I found that the young Turks are an important part of the history of Turkey and Armenia. The young Turkish is an union of reform groups that have led a revolutionary movement against Sultan Abdulhamid II of the Ottoman Empire. He had absolute power, they opposed him because they wanted to eliminate foreign influences and regain Turkey's pride. The Eustark movement began at Imperial College in Istanbul.

The young Turks are perpetrators of the Armenian slaughter. The emergence of youthful Turkish movement was a response to absolute control of Sultan Abdul Hamit II (1876-1909). With the suspension of the Ottoman constitution in 1878, the reform-oriented Ottoman Empire was organized abroad or underground. The pillar of exercise is composed of young officers who are particularly afflicted with the decline of the power of the Ottoman Empire and attributed the crisis to the environment lacking change and progress. When European and Turkish Ottoman armies supported publicly the movement, the young Turkish succeeded in overthrowing the authoritarian Sultan's rule. When the anti - revolution opened by the palace was suppressed in April 1909, the young Turkish needed their intervention to suppress further public support.

In terms of nationalism, young Turks have undergone a gradual change. Starting from the beginning with the participation of Tanzimat and members who are not Turkish, the young Turkish accepted the official national ideology: Ottomanism. However, the patriotism of the Ottoman Empire did not take root during the first Constitution era and the subsequent years. Because the Turkish symbols are used exclusively, intellectuals of the Ottoman empire other than ethnic refused this idea. Turkish nationalists gradually acquired political superiority, and after the 1902 meeting people attended more attention to nationalism. At the present time, Ahmed Riza replaced the word "Ottoman" with "Turkish" and changed the focus from Ottomanism to Turkish nationalism.

In 1908, Sultan Abdulhamid was knocked down by a young Turkish Etihad. Young Turks promised to provide freedom, justice and equality to all the themes of the Ottoman Empire. Initially Armenians and ethnic minorities were satisfied with the young Turkish people (Suny 106). In fact, the Armenian party Dashnaktsutiun Revolutionary Party is allied with the alliance and the progressive council. The Armenians are satisfied that the young Turkish people intend to revive the Constitution. As young Turks grabbed power, social hostility among the various ethnic groups of the Empire was born (Suny 106). The reversal of the traditional Muslim class caused dissatisfaction with the elements of Christian, European and European living, filtered by the Ottoman Empire (Suny 107).
