The contribution of the Ottoman Empire to the culture of coexistence of different communities is important in terms of Turkish and World history. In a period exceeding six centuries and a geographical region spreading over three continents, the Ottoman Empire, managed to harmoniously retain various elements of diverse races, religions, languages and custom together with the main elements of Muslim community. As in other cities of the Ottoman Empire, Muslims, Jews and Christian communities in Gaziantep have lived a connected and interconnected life in terms of belief and human relations. Our study which is limited to the province of Gaziantep, and examines the demographic characteristics of non-Muslims living in this area, will contribute to the knowledge on the demography and the settlement characteristics of non-Muslims in the Ottoman Empire.
