- Abstract
In the 19th and 20th centuries, Bayezid, a city located on the transit route between Trabzon and Iran, as well as the areas surrounding the city suffered not only from Russian invasion but also from a number of epidemics such as plague, cholera, measles, typhoid fever, fever, and variola. These epidemics affected a large area including the center of Bayezid, as well as the districts and villages of Zor, Eleşkird, and Karakilise. Those affected by these epidemics were not limited to local civilians; they also hit the military units positioned in the area. The famine that occurred in the city and the surrounding areas caused people to emigrate from the region. The attacks by Kurdish and Armenian bandits also had a negative effect on the region. Animals also died due to animal epidemics also witnessed in the city. In response, the Ottoman Empire took certain measures to handle the problems which caused suffering in the city. First of all, physicians were appointed to help control the epidemics, and a quarantine was put into place in the area. Inspectors were assigned to check the efficiency of the quarantine procedures. The Ottoman Empire also took military measures to prevent banditry in the area, along with further appointments of veterinarians to control animal diseases observed in the city. Istanbul government demanded regular reporting of the measures taken in the area. The present study made extensive use of the documents in the Ottoman Archives section of the State Archives of the Presidency, along with books, articles and dissertations about the region, in order to get a better understanding of the epidemics, public order problems, animal epidemics and the measures taken in and around Bayezid in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
