| As Sultan Abdulaziz was ousted on 30 May 1876 with the cooperation of bureaucratic and military circles, Murâd V ascended to the throne of the Ottoman Empire. However, his term of office did not last long and he was forced to abdicate after three months following some symptoms of psychological problems. Afterwards, his brother, Abdulhamid II, came to power starting a long period of rulership with many important developments in Ottoman history. On the other hand, the Young Turks, who formed the local opposition movement against the power of Abdulhamid II, did not recognize his authority suitable to their intellectual understanding. They questioned the legitimacy of the sultanate and caliphate of Abdulhamid II, especially through the press and publication which they used effectively as an opposition tool. At this point, they put Murâd V under the scope arguing that Abdulhamid II could not be the legitimate ruler of the Ottoman State. The name of Murâd V became a symbol used by the Young Turks in opposition to the power of Abdulhamid II. Reading through the Young Turk publication between 1895 and 1904, this study examine the dimensions of the opposition against the reign of Abdulhamid II, through the deposition of Murâd V, his compulsory residence of twenty-eight years in Çırağan Palace, and his death. The efforts of Young Turks to dethorne Abdulhamid II by proving the invalidity of his authority, to gain the public support and to the legitimate Murâd V are underlined. |
