Why is it important?
Although there is a wealth of wartime literature on European capitals, the number of academic studies on wartime Istanbul is surprisingly limited. This article aims to make a contribution in that sense by examining the wartime security policies implemented on non-Muslim minorities living in the Ottoman capital.
Perspectives
This article is based on primary sources including archival documents, law codes and memories. I analyzed a variety of primary sources and a number of secondary sources in a critical and analytical manner to indicate wartime state-society relations.
