This thesis scrutinizes migrations from the Crimea and the Caucasus to the Balkans between 1860 and 1865 using documents from Ottoman archives and newspapers of the period. The intensity of the migration movement that occurred after the Crimean War fluctuated in the years that followed. The migration movement reached its peak in 1864 after the decision of mass exile of the Russians for the Caucasian peoples. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the reasons for these migration movements, how the migration process progressed, what kind of policy the Ottoman Empire followed in the Balkans, how these policies changed during the studied period, and what problems the state and migrants faced during and after the settlement. As a result of the studies carried out within the scope of this purpose, it has been revealed that the Ottoman Empire did not have a regular policy about immigrants, adopted a different settlement policy in the Balkans than in Anatolia, and faced health, security, and slavery problems during the settlement.

Reconsidering the annexation of the Sanjak of Alexandretta through local narratives Matkap, Sıtkıye; Şeker, Nesim; Department of Media and Cultural Studies (2009) The main aim of this thesis is to examine the history of Sanjak of Alexandretta in the Turkish nationalist historiography. In this respect, it is important to comprehend how this region as a territory was tried to present as a homeland with ethnic-nationalist connotations and idioms through the discipline of history by Kemalist nationalists in the late of 1930s. Thus, in order to pay attention to the process of annexation of the region into Turkey requires focusing on how and by whom this nationalist histor...
