The armenian question according to meşveret, the publication organ of the committee of union and progress

The Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) was a secret organization aimed to dethrone Sultan Abdülhamid II and combine all Ottoman nations around the constitution. The CUP, which was founded in 1889 had the thought of collaborating with the Armenian opposition, which had turned to an armed movement in 1882. When the Armenian opposition reached its peak in Ottoman Empire, Ahmet Rıza began to publish a newspaper called Meşveret in Paris, in 1895. This article aims to evaluate how Meşveret considered and reflected news related to the Armenian question as the publication organ of CUP which collaborated with the Armenian committees against Sultan Abdülhamid II.
