AN ELEMENT OF INTERNAL SECURITY; ZAPTİYE BOZOK (YOZGAT) ZAPTİYE ORGANISATION EXAMPLE

Abstract

The Turks, one of the oldest state builders in the history of mankind as their state tradition dates back thousand of years, have carried out public order and security together with national defence. They have preferred a nomadic lifestyle since their emergence on the stage of history. For this reason, they fought great struggles for their security in the regions they ruled. The Ottoman Empire, being aware of this fact and having experience, attached great importance to this issue. İn particular, the proclamation of the Tanzimat and the problems of public order in the state led to a new search for internal security. With the idea of centralising security, II. Mahmud had the Zaptiye Organisation, an element of internal security, set up in Anatolia and Rumelia. Bozok (Yozgat) Sanjak, one of the Anatolian Sanjaks, is one of them. İn this study, the zaptiye organisation, which is an important assistant of the state in internal security and a provider of order, is examined. The structure and organisational activities of the Bozok (Yozgat) Zaptiye troops, which occupied an important position in Anatolia due to its location on the transit route of many cities, will be discussed in the light of main and first hand sources. Thus, it is aimed to contribute to the literature by adding a new one to the few studies on the zaptiye troops in the provinces and sanjaks.
