"The Young Turks at a century
TEHRAN, July 8 (MNA) -- The Ottoman Empire had already been in retreat for over a century when the Young Turk revolution broke out in July 1908.
Some of the Young Turks hoped to save the whole empire; others wanted to abandon the empire and rescue an independent Turkey from the wreckage. The latter group won the argument, in the end, and although the rest of the empire fell under European imperial rule ten years later, Turkey itself was saved. Now, exactly a hundred years after the Young Turks, the country is plunged into another constitutional crisis."
