The main purpose of this dissertation is to analyse the practice of prostitution in Ottoman Empire during the reign of Abdulhamid II. In this regard, the effects of the modernization and bureaucratization process of this certain era vis-a-vis the act of prostitution will be revealed under the light of relative precedent European regulations. Furthermore, a thorough study focusing on the dynamics of conflict between state authorities and local powers on the issue of prostitution will be presented. This study has shown that; although the initial reaction of the Ottoman Empire was reluctant, later the state had to legitimize the prostitution. Moreover, the study showed that this shifting role of the state from an executioner to a supervisor position was actually related to the inevitability of the spread of epidemic diseases.
