Most of them expressed their opinions against the Ottoman State and Muslims in the Armenian Question. However, the Spanish scientist and traveler Saturnino Ximenez, who visited the mentioned regions as the guest of the Ottoman Empire in 1894, expressed positive opinions about the Ottoman administration and Muslim-Christian relations, unlike the previous ones. Again in this context, he stated that the events of Sason were not a massacre but a suppressed rebellion. After Ximenez returned from his trip, he published a pamphlet containing his views and made a statement to the Reuters news agency in London expressing his views. Ximenez's statement was widely covered by a significant portion of the Western press and, as expected, it was reacted. It was stated that he defended the theses of the Ottoman Empire for profit. Even in the news in some press organs Ximenez was accused of dreamer, lying, and further fraud. In this study, Ximenez's ideas in the booklet he published, his words in the Western press confirming his ideas, and criticisms of Ximenez in these press organizations are included. In addition, at the end of each chapter, some evaluations were made on the subject. © 2023, Osman Kose.
