The Ministry of the Interior (Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928);: داخلیه نظارتی; Turkish: Dâhiliye nezareti; French: '''Ministère de l'Intérieur'''[1]) was from 1860 the interior ministry of the Ottoman Empire, based in Constantinople (now Istanbul).
The ministry included:[1]
Circa 1905 the budget of the ministry was 495,300 Ottoman lira out of 954,364 for the government.[1]
In 1913 the Office for the Settlement of Tribes and Immigrants was established to deal with the refugee crisis following the Balkan Wars. The office played an important role during the Armenian genocide.
Previously the Grand Vizier, upon the counsel of his advisor, managed the internal affairs of the state, but in 1860 a western-style ministry of the interior was established as part of a reform of the empire's administration.[1]
