The Center for Ottoman Diplomatic History has been established at the initiative, and thanks to the generous support, of Ömer M. Koç. Its main field of activity is the publication of collections of documents fom the Ottoman Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It aims at bringing a fresh insight to the history of the "Eastern Question". Two main series are planned: "Ottoman Diplomatic Documents on the Origins of World War One", and "Ottoman Diplomatic Documents on the Eastern Question in the 19th Century", Additional volumes will cover more topical subjects like "The Franco-Prussian War" or "Italian Unification". Private papers of Ottoman and foreign diplomats will also be published.
