Un diplomate ottoman au sujet de ta Grèce: Documents confidentiels de Missak Effendi (1874 et 1907)
Main Article Content
Abstract
From the numerous unpublished Ottoman (Turkish, French, Armenian,
Greek) documents kept in the Missak Center of the Rand Afrikaans University
(Johannesburg), two documents with particular interest for Greece and
its position in the Balkan region are published in this article. Both documents
were written by Hovsep Missak Effendi (1848-1932), an Ottoman diplomat
of Armenian origin.
The first document, a confidential letter to the Ottoman Minister of
Foreign Affairs (1874) reports “highly confidential” information from the
entourage of king George I and illustrates the Greek politics of that period.
The second document is a notice (1907) on the explosive situation in the
Balkan region, with reference to Macedonia and with a discussion of Greek
ideology and propaganda.
