The aim of this paper is to study Austria’s stance of “neutrality” during the Ottoman-Russian War of 1877–1878. The research will be based mainly on seven Greek-language newspapers—Anatoli (Ανατολή), Anatoliko Astir (Ανατολικός Αστήρ), Byzantis (Βυζάντις), Thrace (Θράκη), Metarhythmisis (Μεταρρύθμιση), and Neologos (Νεολόγος)—which were published in Istanbul and Nea Smyrni (Νέα Σμύρνη) during the Ottoman period. These specific newspapers are digitized in the Digital Library of the Hellenic Parliament. At the same time, information from documents found in the Archive of the T.R. Presidential State Archives Directorate (T.C. Cumhurbaşkanlığı Devlet Arşivleri Başkanlığı) and related bibliography will be combined. Russia declared war on the Ottoman State on April 24, 1877. Russia’s entry into the war brought the Balkan crisis to its most acute phase and gave it an international character. Earlier, Russian diplomacy, facing the possibility of war with the Ottoman State, had concluded an agreement with Austria to neutralize a possible Austrian reaction to Russia’s attempt to invade the Balkans (Reichstadt Agreement 1876 and Budapest Military Convention 1877). This ensured Austria’s benevolent neutrality in the event of a future war between Russia and Türkiye. In return, Russia agreed that Austria would occupy Bosnia and Herzegovina in case of an Ottoman defeat. Thus, the western Balkans were left to Austria and Austrian politics, while the center of Russia’s Balkan interests shifted to Bulgaria, which lay on the road to İstanbul. The contribution of this paper to a well-known topic—and its greatest interest—lies precisely in the depiction of Austria’s “neutrality” through the eyes of the Greek-speaking press published within the Ottoman State, at a time when the conflict was being waged by Russia, the Great Powers, and the Balkan peoples used by those powers.
