The Eastern Question shows the systematical effort of the Western States to gain dominance over the Ottoman lands, and to split it. When we reviewed the progress of events in Ottoman Lands, we see that especially three events -Armenian, Crete and Macedonia uprisings- in 19 century gave the impression of a declining Ottoman State to the Western States. When we analyze these events retrospectively in the light of contemporary knowledge, we can easily see that these three events were very closely related to each other both in timing and characteristics. Imperialist European States brought the Eastern Question up when their interests was at stake and when they needed favorable public opinion to realize their interests. Their aim is to announce the Armanian genocide allegations and Armania demands to the world. But the ultimate purpose is the dream of Great Armenia. The real reason behind the long survival of the problem is the continuation of the interests of the Western States on Anatolia. The Western States abused Armenians by using the self determination right in order to realize their interests on Ottoman.
