Armistice of Mudros in the Ottoman Armenian Press

The First World War took place on 28 June 1914, when the Austro-Hungarian Prince and his wife were killed in Sarajevo by a Serbian nationalist. However, the main reason of the war was the struggle of industrialized countries to capture economic and political dominance. The First World War, which caused great destruction, ended with the defeat of the Central Powers. The offensive launched by the Allied Powers against Bulgaria in Macedonia on September 15, 1918, resulted in the occupation of Skopje on September 29. As a result of this situation, Bulgaria withdrew from the war by signing an armistice with the Allied Powers. Thus, the interruption of transportation and communication between the Ottoman Empire and Germany forced the Ottoman Empire to request an armistice, and the Armistice of Mudros was signed on 30 October 1918. The Armistice of Mondros took place in the press organs of the period for a certain period. One of them is the Ottoman Armenian press organs. Various news and comments appeared in the newspapers. The study aims to shed light on how the armistice, which played a major role in history, took place in the Ottoman Armenian press. The newspapers that will be used in the study are Jamanak [Zaman], Joğovurt [People], and Hayrenik [Vatan]. Based on the aforementioned newspapers, the situation of the Armenian public will be discussed during this period. Resources related to the subject will be consulted where necessary to better examine the issues in the Armenian press.
