Abstract:

Russia which had pursued an expansionist policy towards the Balkans and Caucasus forced the Muslim residents of the regions it occupied to migrate within the policy it specified. Hundreds of thousands of migrants who were forced to asylum to the Ottoman Empire were resettled by the Empire in certain periods to certain places by meeting their needs within the bounds of possibility. Ottoman Empire pursued certain policies on maintaining order and security, reviving disrupted residential areas as well as creating new residential areas. In this context, for providing order, a security zone was tried to be created against the eastern and southern Anatolian urban tribes who used to live in desert, disturb public order and did not pay any tax
