Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the place of the North Caucasian settlers in the Turkish state
system and national politics in the second half of the 19th century. The eviction of Circassians from
the North Caucasus to the Ottoman Empire took on a massive character in the second half of the 19th
century. This problem is becoming increasingly relevant in Russian historiography, due to the constant
migration of the population from the hot spots of the planet. Modern researchers draw historical
parallels and identify the causes, course and consequences of the studied phenomena. The analysis of
the “second” resettlement of Circassians from the Balkans to the Arab regions of the Ottoman Empire
in the second half of the 19th century seems necessary both in applied and theoretical terms. A
comprehensive study of this issue will help to highlight the consequences of the defeat of the Ottoman
Empire in the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878 for the North Caucasian migrants, a change in
status in places of new accommodation. Both Russia and Turkey were interested in the resettlement
of Circassians outside the North Caucasus. Both sides had their own plans for these peoples. With the
help of this policy, the Russian Empire sought to facilitate the process of development of the annexed
lands after the Caucasian War. In turn, the Ottoman Empire willingly accepted the Circassians into
its borders to use them in the military and state-administrative departments. Because of this policy,
a new national minority, the Circassians, appeared in the Arab regions of the empire. The Turkish
sultans used the North Caucasian settlers to suppress national uprisings in the annexed provinces,
where they were settled. Porta sought to avoid the compact settlement of the Circassians, which led
to the strengthening of the Circassian element in all spheres of the Turkish administrative and state
apparatus.
