The Zabıt Ceridesi recorded the speeches, discussions, legislative proposals and voting proceedings of parliamentary sessions, preserving the debates of the Ottoman legislature as an official contemporary record. This issue belongs to the 4th Electoral Period, 1st Legislative Year, and 23rd Session, and is dated 13 March 1336 (13 March 1920), a Saturday.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe Zabıt Ceridesi is one of the most important primary sources for studying the political, social and economic history of the final years of the Ottoman Empire. Unlike newspapers or later historical accounts, these official proceedings preserve parliamentary debates and the statements of deputies as part of the formal legislative record. They provide direct evidence of the issues discussed within the Ottoman parliament and the positions expressed during an exceptionally important period of political transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe Meclis-i Mebusan was a multi-ethnic and multi-community parliament, and its proceedings provide a valuable record of the different political perspectives represented within the late Ottoman state. Questions concerning the future of the empire, administration, legislation, regional affairs and the political direction of the country were debated from the parliamentary floor. The Zabıt Cerideleri therefore offer collectors and researchers an opportunity to encounter these discussions through an original contemporary source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis particular issue was published only days before the final closure of the Ottoman Chamber of Deputies in March 1920, placing it within one of the most significant moments of the transition from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish national government. The parliamentary records of this period are especially important for understanding the political atmosphere surrounding the final months of the Meclis-i Mebusan and the decisions that shaped the subsequent course of Turkish political history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAs an original Ottoman parliamentary publication, this issue is an important piece of political and legislative ephemera. For collectors, it represents an authentic contemporary record from the final days of the Ottoman parliament and provides a direct historical window into the debates and institutional life of the Ottoman state in 1920.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(170, 26, 23);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e• Type: Original Ottoman parliamentary record \/ official proceedings journal\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• Publication: Meclis-i Mebusan Zabıt Ceridesi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• Date: 13 March 1336 (13 March 1920)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• Day: Saturday\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• Electoral Period: 4th Electoral Period\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• Legislative Year: 1st Legislative Year\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• Session: 23rd Session\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• Language: Ottoman Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• Institution: Ottoman Chamber of Deputies (Meclis-i Mebusan)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• Subject: Official parliamentary speeches, debates, legislative proceedings and voting records\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• Historical Context: Published during the final days of the Ottoman Chamber of Deputies shortly before its closure in March 1920\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• Historical Significance: A primary source documenting the political and legislative proceedings of the final period of the Ottoman parliament\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• Collectible Significance: Particularly valuable for collectors and researchers of Ottoman political history, parliamentary history, legislative documents and the final years of the Ottoman Empire\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• Condition: Medium condition, with age-related wear and deterioration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50283710677130,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_0042c1ec-4d2a-4641-99eb-5a3581a2a1b2.jpg?v=1790266943","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/ottoman-empire-official-parliamentary-record-1920-meclis-i-mebusan-zabit-ceridesi","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
