A BIBLIOGRAPHY STUDY ON THE BALKAN WARS BASED ON THE VOLGA-URAL TATAR PERIODICALS: VAKIT, YULDIZ, IDIL, KOYAŞ NEWSPAPERS (1912-1913)

Summary/Abstract: The first quarter of the 20th century is a period when Jadidist activities were intense in the Volga-Ural region. Although the publishing activities that were attempted to be carried out within limited means by the Tatar elites, namely mirzas, merchants, intellectuals and ulema, were prevented by the Tsarist administration authorities for various reasons, press and publishing activities were also included in the freedoms declared in many areas as a result of the 1905 Russian Revolution. In this environment of freedom, newspapers and magazines published one after another in cities such as Petersburg, Kazan, Orenburg, Ufa, Astrakhan, and Uralsk did not only focus on the Tatar community but also took a close interest in developments in the Turkish and Islamic world. In this context, the social, political, military, and cultural situation of the Ottoman state during the Balkan Wars constituted the most important topics of interest for Tatar periodicals. The war was tried to be conveyed to the Muslim public in Russia in all its aspects through articles written and news from the world press, as well as notes from special correspondents sent to Istanbul. In this study, the articles about the effects of the Balkan Wars on the Ottoman Empire published in Vakit, Yulduz, Idil and Koyas newspapers, which were published in the Volga-Ural region during the war and had a serious readership, were identified. The articles in different genres published in the mentioned newspapers were presented to the attention of the researchers. The articles, interviews and official news from Turkish, Russian and European newspapers and magazines on the Balkan War and the Ottoman theme were not included in the bibliography because they deviate from the Volga-Ural-centered perspective. The study found that articles on the outbreak, development, and outcome of the war for the Balkan states and the Ottomans occupy a larger place than other topics. Similarly, the observations and assessments of Fatih Kerimi, Aliasker Kemal, and other correspondents from Russia, under the headings "Istanbul Letters," "Istanbul Memories," "Edirne Letters," and "Turkey News," covered the political, military, social, and cultural situation of the Ottoman Empire. Apart from this, articles on the internal politics of the Ottoman Empire, the policies of the Committee of Union and Progress, relations between the Ottoman Empire and European states, political and economic pressures on the Ottoman Empire, the thoughts of the Russian Turks on the war, and the Bulgarian occupation and recapture of Edirne constituted an important part of the study
