Abstract

The Armenian question, which was brought to the international platform with Ayastefanos and Berlin Treaties, became one of the most fundamental issues that the Ottoman Empire was dealing with since that time. An independent Armenia was also supported by European Great Powers, especially Russia. The basic strategy of the Armenians, who took action with the guidance of the Hinchak and Dashnak organizations, was to revolt all over the country and allow the western states to interfere in the events. In this context, after 1890, Armenian rebellions were seen in many provinces of the Ottoman country. Especially one of the revolutions that gained momentum in 1895 took place in Trabzon. The rebellion in Trabzon was brought up to the agenda of the European press because of being a port city as well; Trabzon was in constant contact with the outside world. In this study, news reporting the Armenian rebellion in Trabzon, published in the newspapers of England of that era, were mentioned.
