Özet:

 Mirza Yahya Devletabadi was one of the most famous political and cultural figures of the Persian Constitutional Revolution and the Pahlavi period. He was exiled to Istanbul, he established relations with the Young Turks and members of the Committee of Union and Progress Party, carrying out activities to restore constitutional rule in Persia. After the war, he returned to his country and was elected to parliament as a representative of Isfahan. His most famous work Hayat-i Yahya, which he wrote in the style of a memoir, is an important source not only for Iranian history but also for recent Turkish history. The events such as the proclamation of the Second Constitutional Monarchy, the 31st of March Incident, Abdul Hamid IIs succession and exile to Salonika, Mehmet Vs accession to the throne, the coming to power of the Union and Progress Party, the Ottoman Empires entry into World War I, and the information about Istanbuls social situation under the environment of war are based on the authors observations during his stay in Istanbul. This study aims to reveal the political and social situation of Istanbul in the first quarter of the 20th century through the eyes of a foreigner by narrating the above-mentioned events through Yahya Devletabadis statements.

 Meşrutiyet ve I. Pehlevî devri İranının en meşhur siyasi ve kültürel şahsiyetlerinden gazeteci, şair ve yazar Mîrzâ Yahyâ Devletâbâdî 1862 yılında Isfahana bağlı Devletâbâdda dünyaya geldi. İlk tahsilini doğduğu yerde yaptıktan sonra Necefte devam ettiği dini tahsilini İrana döndükten sonra zamanın ünlü Şiî ulemâsı yanında tamamladı. Meşrutiyet taraftarı olması sebebiyle Muhammed Ali Şah tarafından İstanbula sürgün edildi. Burada Jön Türkler ve İttihat ve Terakki Partisi mensuplarıyla irtibata geçerek İranın yeniden meşruti idareye geçmesi için faaliyetler gösterdi. Avrupaya seyahatler yaptı.1916da tekrar İstanbula geldi. Bazı Osmanlı devlet adamlarıyla önemli görüşmeler yaptı. Savaştan sonra ülkesine döndü ve Isfahan milletvekili seçildi. 1934te Tahranda öldü. Telif ve tercüme olarak çeşitli konularda eserler kaleme aldı. En ünlü eseri hatıra tarzında yazdığı Hayât-ı Yahyâdır. Tarih-i Muasır olarak da bilinen dört ciltlik eser İran tarihi açısından olduğu kadar Yakınçağ Türk tarihi için de önemli bir kaynaktır. Özellikle III. ve IV. ciltlerinin bir kısmına konu olan II. Meşrutiyetin ilanı, 31 Mart Vakası, II. Abdülhamitin, hal edilişi, Selanike sürgünü, V. Mehmet in tahta çıkışı, İttihat ve Terakkinin iktidara gelişi, Osmanlının I. Dünya Harbine girişi gibi olaylar ve savaş ortamında İstanbulun sosyal durumu hakkındaki bilgiler bizzat Yazarın İstanbulda ikameti esnasındaki gözlemlerine dayanır. Bu çalışmada yukarıda zikredilen olaylar Yahyâ Devletâbâdînin ifadeleriyle aktarılarak bir yabancının gözünden 20. Yyın ilk çeyreğinde İstanbulun siyasi ve sosyal durumunu ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır.
