SORU:

What was the role of Reis-ül Küttap in Ottoman Empire?


CEVAP:

The head of secretaries in the Ottoman diplomatic system. Initially, they were responsible for conducting Ottoman diplomatic correspondence until the end of
18th century. After the modernization and professionalization of Ottoman diplomacy
with Selim III, they began to act as the minister of foreign affairs. However, these
people were not professional diplomats eligible for conducting diplomatic relations
due to the lack of their knowledge about diplomatic rules and instruments. After
Mahmud II had established the ministry of foreign affairs and started to modernize the
Translation Room, they were replaced by professional diplomats.
