| Summary: | In 1821, with the Greek uprising, the French consuls stationed in the Ottoman Empire saw an influx of civilians who took refuge in their consulates to escape the violence of a conflict with the hint of civil war. Without instructions, they took the initiative to welcome at least 6,000 Greeks and several hundred Turks, which upset the population and local authorities. Consuls must then explain their actions to avoid a violation of their consulate. They must also justify their decision to their superiors. After a long delay, the Ministry resumed their humanitarian speeches and ratified the right of consular asylum. |
