Yapı Kredi Yayınları İttihatçı Polis Müdürü Azmi Bey’in Gurbet Günlükleri (1918–1921)

Product description

The exile diaries of police chief azmi (1918-1921), a conservative, offer a firsthand account of one of the most turbulent periods leading up to the collapse of the ottoman empire and the birth of the republic of turkey. These diaries, penned by hüseyin azmi bey, a prominent bureaucrat of the committee of union and progress, former chief of police of istanbul, and governor of beirut, chronicle the loss of power, exile, uncertainty, and the reckoning that followed. After the treaty of mudros, azmi bey, who went abroad with talat, enver and cemal pashas, is the only person whose diaries have reached us from this group. In his diary, azmi bey records both his own destiny and the pursuits of a political group on the brink of extinction in a geography extending from russia to germany and from italy to afghanistan between the years 1918-1921. The diaries not only shed light on the activities of the unionist leaders during the mütareke period

they also reflect the state of mind, frustrations, hopes, and inner criticisms of an ottoman intellectual in exile, in all their nakedness. In azmi bey's writings, themes related to the national struggle, disagreements among the unionist leaders, and the political upheavals in europe and asia are as prominent as the personal sorrows of a father who is distant from his family. This work, which offers a direct look at one of the most controversial periods of recent turkish history, serves as a unique resource for historians and readers interested in the subject.
