Abstract:

It was established by the San Remo Treaty on 25 April 1920 that Syria would be under the French mandate. Since the national struggle in Anatolia continues, the northern borders of Syria are not fully identified, these borders are defined by the Ankara Treaty of 20 October 1921 and confirmed by the third article of the Lozan Treaty. Thus, as the seventh article of the Ankara Treaty applies, Sancak has entered the French mandate. After France granted independence to Syria in 1936, Hatay's participation in the hometown and the inclusion of Misak into the national borders became one of the important items of the agenda of Turkish foreign policy. For this purpose, the State of the Republic of Turkey has entered into the Miletler Society and, as a result of intense diplomatic efforts, Hatay was recognized as a separate entity in 1937 along with its constitution, and the State of Hatay was established in 1938. Ataturk's life has not been enough to see that Hatay was included in the Turkish Republic State borders, but in 1937 Mersin showed to the whole world that he had the Hatay case by participating in his trips to Adana. In this article, our goal is to discuss the approach of the Kilis Daily People's Gazette, which holds the pulse of the city of Kilis, which is a geographically close location in the Hatay issue, and its assessments regarding the period between 1937 and 1939.
