Osmanlı ile Afganistan Meşrutiyet Anayasalarının Karşılaştırılması
Comparison of the Constitution of Ottoman and Afghanistan Monarchies

Summary/Abstract: The emergence of the constitutional movement in Afghanistan was mostly due to external factors. In the study, it will be tried to explain how one of these factors, the influence of the Ottoman Empire on the constitutional period in Afghanistan and the differences of the Constitutional Revolution between these two states. The Ottoman Empire has been one of the important intermediaries in the development of the constitutional movement in Afghanistan. Some of this influence has been very useful in the political and social reform phase undertaken by the government. The transition to the Constitutional period in the Ottoman Empire was influenced by the Japanese model, one of the pioneers of Western sciences and technology by preserving their national and Islamic traditions during the modernization period of the Young Turks. But this was true for Afghan nationalists and reformers, with the effect of the situation created by the Japanese-Russian War that resulted in the defeat of the Russians, who were traditional enemies in Afghanistan. In the Ottoman Empire, reformers such as Mithat Pasha, Namık Kemal, Ziya Pasha and Said Pasha were instrumental in the emergence of the constitution. Likewise, the Constitutionalism movement in Afghanistan has developed under the influence of reformers such as Seyyid Jamaleddin Afghani and Mahmut Tarzi. In this study, a comparison of Ottoman and Afghan Constitutionalism will be made by reviewing the existing narratives and using library resources.
