The Armenian millet applied to non-Muslims that were not part of the Greek Orthodox or Jewish groups. This included groups such as the Copts, Assyrians, Monophysitism, and the Bogomils. and Mehmet II separated them from the Greek Orthodox because of the disagreements that they had over orthodoxy. The Armenian millet did not have the ability to hold authority over the many people they were supposed to. The Armenian patriarch’s power had no real authority in Istanbul being so far from Anatolia. The members of the millet were not only able to handle things autonomously, they had the legal status to bring a case to the Islamic courts.
