Özet:

in the XVIII. In the second half of the century, Heinrich Friedrich von Diez, who was sent to the Ottoman State as a Prussian ambassador, was focused on his activities during his stay in Istanbul. His first diplomatic mission began on 17 March 1784, with the work of Diez, Prussian ruler II. In 1786 he was brought to the Embassy of Turkey by Friedrich Wilhelm. The Prussian ambassador made intense efforts to establish close relations with the Ottoman State, which he thought was an ally to Austria and Russia in those years. In the same years (1787-1792) the war between the Ottoman State and Russia and Austria brought Prussia and the Ottoman State closer to each other. In the face of the new conditions that emerged, thanks to the intense diplomatic work of the Prussian ambassador Diez in Babayli, a violent and therapeutic alliance treaty was signed between the two countries in 1790. But the treaty, which was signed with Diez’s great efforts, was very unpleasant in Berlin and ended the mission of the ambassador. The six-year Istanbul Embassy of Diez, who left Istanbul with the instructions given on May 23, 1790, is very important in the development of the Ottoman-Prussian relations. The research is based on this importance of the subject, and it aims to discuss in detail the activities of the Prussian Ambassador Diez during the Istanbul Embassy.
