Özet:

 Western states created the concept of the Eastern Question for the nations living in the eastern regions, which they considered to pose a danger. The plans, which were designed with the aim of repelling the Turkish communities when they came to Anatolia, did not achieve their goal from the 11th century to the 19th century, when the Turks became the dominant power in the region. As a result of the end of the glorious periods of the Ottoman Empire and the beginning of the rise of European states, Western states targeted the Ottoman Empire within the framework of the Eastern Question both against the Ottoman pressure they had felt for centuries and in order to continue their political and economic rise. In addition, factors such as the strategic position of the Ottoman Empire and its underground and aboveground resources attracted the attention of the West. In this direction, the Western states, which were ahead of the Ottoman Empire in the fields of knowledge and technique, could not confront the Ottoman Empire directly, and wanted to weaken the state through political, economic and sometimes military methods. Within the framework of these plans, the Western states utilised their own cognates and co-religionists living in the territory of the Ottoman Empire and promised them independent nation states. Affected by this, the Ottoman nations entered into a struggle for independence with the state. Armenians, one of these nations, started the struggle for independence with Muslim Turks, with whom they had lived in the same country for centuries. In the Ottoman Empire, the region of Maraş and Zeytun, where Armenians were densely populated, became the base of Armenian rebellion movements. In this study, the activities of Armenians in and around Maraş during the last period of the Ottoman Empire and the War of Independence and the Armenian Question will be analysed.

 Batılı devletler, tehlike arz ettiklerini düşündükleri doğu bölgelerinde yaşayan milletler için Şark Meselesi kavramını ortaya çıkarmışlardır. Anadoluya Türk topluluklarının geldiği dönemde onları geri püskürtme hedefiyle kurgulanan planlar Türklerin bölgede hâkim güç oldukları XI. yüzyıldan XIX. yüzyıla kadar amacına ulaşamamıştır. Osmanlı Devletinin ihtişamlı dönemlerinin sona ermesi Avrupalı devletlerin yükselişinin başlaması sonucu, Batılı devletler Şark Meselesi çerçevesinde hem yüzyıllardır üzerlerinde hissettikleri Osmanlı baskısına karşı hem de siyasi ve ekonomik olarak yükselişlerini sürdürebilmeleri için Osmanlıyı hedef almışlardır. Ayrıca Osmanlının stratejik konumu, yer altı ve yer üstü kaynakları gibi unsurlar Batının ilgisini çekmekteydi. Bu doğrultuda bilgi ve teknik alanlarında Osmanlının önüne geçen Batılı devletler, Osmanlıyı doğrudan karşılarına alamamış, siyasi, ekonomik zaman zaman askeri yöntemlerle devleti zayıflatmak istemişlerdir. Bu planlar çerçevesinde Osmanlı Devleti topraklarında yaşayan kendi soydaş ve dindaşlarını kullanan Batılı devletler, onlara bağımsız ulus devletler vaat etmişlerdir. Bundan etkilenen Osmanlı milletleri devlet ile bağımsızlık mücadelelerine girmişlerdir. Bu milletlerden biri olan Ermeniler, yüzyıllardır aynı ülkede yaşadıkları Müslüman Türklerle bağımsızlık mücadelesini başlatmıştır. Osmanlı Devletinde Ermenilerin nüfus olarak yoğun olduğu Maraş ve Zeytun bölgesi Ermenilerin isyan hareketlerinin üssü haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada Osmanlının son dönemi ve Milli Mücadele sürecinde Maraş ve çevresinde Ermenilerin faaliyetleri ve Ermeni Sorunu incelenecektir.
