Cotelizade Dynasty
[edit]The Çötelizade family, a noble family of Harpoot, also known as Mesopotamia,[1] played a significant role in the political and economic development of the region during the 18th century in the Ottoman Empire. Their influence extended to various spheres of governance, including tax-farming, administrative council membership, and even the position of deputy mayor in the urbanization process of Mezre.[2] The family's involvement in local politics and governance during the ottoman empire is well-documented, showcasing their impact on the region's transformation from a hamlet-turned-garrison into a city and the center of the province (Sipahi, 2015, p. 10-55).[3]
Influence
[edit]Governor Veysi Pasha stated in a report that the dynasty had been around for a few hundred years, and that it had been the most prominent (fâik-ül akrân) family in the region (Sipahi, 2015, p. 96).[3] The family's involvement in local politics and governance shedding light on their impact on the region's development and urbanization process.[5] Like other imperial families, they were heavily involved in broader political and social movements, and it is documented that they made substantial donations to welfare institutions such as the Ottoman Red Crescent,[6][7]
Their influence however extended beyond local governance, as they were also involved in the urbanization process of Mezre and held chair positions in the Chamber of Agriculture, further solidifying their role in shaping the region.[8] Their impact on the transformation of Mezre from a hamlet-turned-garrison into a city and the center of the province is evident, leading to a reorganization of government offices and the legal system, as well as a shift in the balance of power between Mezre and the neighboring town of Harput.[9]
