In contrast to the lands to the west, what surrounded the Ottoman state to the north, south and east were political structures which had the same religious, ethnic and/or cultural roots. Thus eastward expansion was not for the Ottomans merely a territorial or economic matter but was, more importantly, a struggle to establish and strengthen their own existence and legitimacy.

Dursun, Selçuk (Informa UK Limited, 2011-06-15)
The making of the modern Ottoman state in the 19th century was closely interrelated with population issues and policies.

These policies consisted of protecting the existing population, controlling population movements, promo...

Identity Formation and the Political Power in the Late Ottoman Empire and Early Turkish Republic
Şeker, Nesim (2005-09-01)

Diyarbakır Surları Ve Kent Tarihi
Parla, Canan (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2005-1-3)
Tarihi dokusunu en iyi koruyan kentlerden biri olan Diyarbakır’ın, sur ve yapılarını inceleyen çalışmalar giderek çoğalmış olmakla birlikte, kitabe metinlerinin pek dikkate alınmadığı gözlemlenmektedir. Oysa kentin, bugünkü bilgiler ve kitabe verileri ışığında yeniden incelenmesi ve tarihi süreç içerisinde nasıl biçimlendiğinin ortaya konması gerekmektedir. Kuşkusuz böyle bir çalışma, kente egemen olanların, Diyarbakır’a nasıl biçim verdiklerini açıkça gözler önüne serecektir. Bu makalede, başlangıçtan 16. ...
