The term “Millet” refers to a “religious community” or to certain “people” in the Ottoman Turkish language. In the Ottoman Empire, it was used for organizing different religious communities with limited administrative power under a religious leader with authority over their co-religionists. The system allowed each community to regulate their own affairs under the supremacy of the Ottoman administration. Only the “religion of the books” (kitap ehli) were recognized as millet in the system; thus, originally there were Orthodox Christian and the Armenian millets, which later joined by the Jews and Catholic Armenians.
