Event in New York on the Participation of Greeks in the Ottoman Empire
Published
The HACF is organizing an event in New York on the participation of Greeks in the political life of the Ottoman Empire during the period 1908-1912. The event will examine an important but less well-known part of the history of Greeks abroad and of the wider Eastern Mediterranean region.
The period 1908-1912 was a time of great change for the Ottoman Empire. In 1908 elections were held and the Parliament resumed operation after many years, with the result that the political balance shifted. In this new political environment, Greeks from various regions of the empire took an active part in public life, either as members of parliament or as members of political organizations.
The organizers believe that the topic is of particular importance, because it helps to better understand the course of the Greek communities within the Ottoman Empire. The event is aimed both at researchers and at the general public interested in the history of Greeks around the world.
For more information about the date, time and manner of participation, interested persons may contact the HACF directly.
