And that's why, actually, in the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire, which then covered the whole Middle East, made very important reforms -- reforms like giving Christians and Jews an equal citizenship status, accepting a constitution, accepting a representative parliament, advancing the idea of freedom of religion.
I zato je zapravo u 19. stoljeću Otomansko carstvo, koje je tada prekrivalo cijeli Bliski Istok, napravilo veoma važne reforme -- reforme poput davanja kršćanima i židovima jednak građanski status, prihvaćanje ustava, prihvaćanje zastupničkog parlamenta, unapređenje ideje slobode religije.
