Abstract

Before the First World War Armenian patriarchate and parties called for the making of the 1914 elections in accordance with the principle of proportional representation. Closely interested in the issue, the Rums were also of the similar approach. Moreover, Armenians also insisted on having right to hold twenty congressmen from the elections estimated to be made in this fashion. Settling the issue with dialogue, the Union and Progress Party strived for explaining political, social and legal grounds that the Armenians could give forth the requested number of congressmen. However, this could not have happened according to the principle of proportional representation. In spite of the Armenian patriarchate's boycott, Union and Progress Party nominated many Armenian origin candidates as the congressmen. On the other side, by giving up their demand for proportional representation the Rums succeeded in enjoying some advantages. The subject of this study is the tough election process in the light of the press.
