The Vilayet of Sivas (;〔(''Salname-yi Vilâyet-i Sivas'' ) ("Yearbook of the Vilayet of Sivas"), Sivas vilâyet matbaası, Sivas, 1293 (). in the website of Hathi Trust Digital Libray.〕) was a first-level administrative division (vilayet) of the Ottoman Empire, and was one of the Six Armenian vilayets.〔Kaligian, Dikran Mesrob (2011) ''Armenian Organization and Ideology Under Ottoman Rule, 1908-1914'' (revised edition) Transaction Publishers, New Brunswick, New Jersey, (page 152 ), ISBN 978-1-4128-4245-7〕 The vilayet was bordered by Erzurum Vilayet to the east, Mamuretülaziz Vilayet to the south-east, the Trebizond Vilayet to the north and Ankara Vilayet to the west. At the beginning of the 20th century it had an area of , while the preliminary results of the first Ottoman census of 1885 (published in 1908) gave the population as 996,126.〔Keane, A.H. (1909) ''Asia'' (2nd edition) E. Stanford, London, volume 1, (page 459 ), 〕 The accuracy of the population figures ranges from "approximate" to "merely conjectural" depending on the region from which they were gathered.〔 ==History== :''For the early history of the area see Rûm Eyalet.'' The Vilayet of Sivas was created in 1867〔(1897) ''Devlet-i Aliyye-i Osmaniyye’nin Bin Üçyüz Onüç Senesine Mahsus İstatistik-i Umumîsi,'' Istanbul(First statistical yearbook for the Ottoman Empire, republished in 1997 as ''Osmanlı Devleti'nin ilk istatistik yıllığı, 1897'' T.C. Başbakanlık Devlet İstatistik Enstitüsü, Ankara, ISBN 978-975-19-1793-5〕 when eyalets were replaced with vilayets under the "Vilayet Law" (Turkish: ''Teşkil-i Vilayet Nizamnamesi'')〔Kapucu, Naim and Palabiyik, Hamit (2008) ''Turkish Public Administration: From Tradition to the Modern Age'' International Strategic Research Organization (USAK), Ankara, (page 164 ), ISBN 978-605-4030-01-9〕 and was dissolved in 1922 by Atatürk's reorganization. From 1913 to 1916, Ahmed Muammer was the ''Vali'' (governor) of the vilayet, and he has been accused of being complicit in actions against the Armenian population.〔"on the basis of incriminating telegrams that his dossier referred to as ''alleged to be translations of Turkish official telegrams''."
