Filankes Filankesov's video: Christians in Ottoman Empire

@Христиане в Османской Империи. (Christians in Ottoman Empire).
Ottomans deliberately kept the local governments of conquered nations and never considered the religious suppression, as Islam prohibited to limit the religious freedom of people of the book (Christians and Jews). A few days after conquest of Istanbul Sultan Mehmed suggested Greek clergy to elect the Patriarch. He had dedicated guards of the janissary for his protection. The Patriarch with council took the role of supreme rulers over the Orthodox Christians (Greeks, Serbs, Bulgarians, Russians and etc) as well as court to resolve the disputes between them. They hand the authority to sentence the punishment for the Christians and Ottoman administration implemented them with no objection. The Balkan nations should have paid not only money taxes, but also give up children for service -- devshirme. After conversion to Islam those children were brought up to be janissary. The parents usually gave their children voluntarily to Turkish officials, as serving in the palace they could achieve very high ranks. The Christian origin was never an obstacle in their career. Thus, the Grand Vizier of Mehmed the Second was Mahmud Pasha, the son of orthodox Serbian mother and Greek father. Another Grand Vizier of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent was Serbian Sokollu Mehmed Pasha (Sokolovich or Sokolich). Османы сознательно сохраняли местное самоуправление завоёванных народов и не думали о религиозных преследованиях, так как Ислам запрещал ограничивать свободу вероисповедания народов писания (христиан и иудеев). Через несколько дней после взятия Стамбула Султан Мехмед предложил греческому духовенству избрать патриарха. Для его охраны была приставлена стража из янычар. Патриарх вместе с собором получил полномочия верховного управления над православными (греками, сербами, болгарами, русскими и т. д.) и суда в спорах между ними. Они могли назначать православным наказания и османские власти без возражений приводили их в исполнение. Балканские народы должны были платить налог не только деньгами, но и детьми - девширме, из которых после обращения в ислам воспитывали янычары. Родители часто сами добровольно отдавали своих детей турецким чиновникам, так как при дворе они достигали очень высокого положения. Происхождение от христианских родителей нисколько не мешало карьере. Так, великим визирем при Мехмеде II был Махмуд-паша, сын православных сербки и грека. При Сулеймане Кануни великим визирем был также серб Мехмед Соколлу паша (Соколович или Соколич). http://www.youtube.com/user/HaciChelebi http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5XRSROPOXX2Ik0EGAOcn8w http://www.youtube.com/user/AtaI3eK http://www.youtube.com/user/V3r1Ta55 http://www.youtube.com/user/Yeni4eri
