The relationship between Ottoman Empire and Bosnia and Herzegovina dates back a long time period. The purpose of the essay is to talk about this relationship with geographical justifications and historical inspections, to discourse Ottoman Empire’s dominance on Bosnia and Herzegovina and to clarify how these two ruptured their connection. This disengagement effected Bosnian people and Bosnian muslims greatly. In the last era of the Ottoman Empire, the destiny of the Balkans had a huge change because of what Russia and Austria-Hungary Empire wanted and because of the wars. Berlin Agreement shows that Bosnia and Herzegovina will start a new political administration. In this essay, political and social improvements during occupation and how this occupation effected Bosnian muslims to create their own ethnical identities will be discussed. To be able to handle all these main problems, Tercüman-ı Hakikat (Interpreter of Truth) newspaper which was one of the main sources of the Ottoman Empire in the meantime will be our fundamental in the essay. Newspapers known as important quarters provide a clear idea about public opinion. News shows us what the public think generally. With this press organ it’ll be explained how the Ottoman Empire dealt with the occupation process and how the country protest the phenomenon. The essay will contribute to analyze the subject according to historical background with the newspaper of Tercüman-ı Hakikat and with following the procession of occupation step by step. The fact that the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the biggest reason for the conflict between Austria - Hungary Empire and Serbia has led me to write this essay.
