Özet:

The modernization movements in the Ottoman Empire, which began in the military at the end of the eighteenth century, for internal and external reasons, gained speed with the nineteenth century. The change and transformation that has occurred during this period has come to a more comprehensive form that covers the social, economic and political spheres, from being limited to one field. The effects of the Ottoman modernization in the fields such as education and the press have been reflected in the mental field by a group of opposition lighters. The New Ottoman and the Yön Turks, who formed the organized opposition movements of the period and are temporarily followed each other, are the manifestation of this change. While the New Ottomans are the beginning of the mentality change in the sense of the institutionalization of the opposition movements, the Jön Turks form a group of opposition lights that are in closer contact with the European axis ideas within their periodic conditions. The ideological discussions and ideological movements developed under the leadership of the new Ottoman and the Yön Turks have been inherited from the Ottoman to the Republic. This article, which adopts a comparative method, aims to discuss the similarities and differences of the New Ottoman and Yön Turkish movements, through secondary sources. As a comparison element, the political objectives of the opposition groups, the forms of understanding of political participation, their social and intellectual origins and modernization projects are addressed.
