Özet:

The purpose of this study is defined as turcofish and its activities in the framework of the foreign trade policy followed during the Republic period. Turkofis is a foreign trade organization established by the Economic Council to ensure the development of the country in the economic area due to the stagnancy of foreign trade as a result of the 1929 World Economic Disaster and to implement the “national economy” policy. In the 1930s, Turkey adopted two main principles to improve foreign trade. First of all, the government has implemented legal regulations that will facilitate its business in foreign trade. Secondly, it was organized to develop and implement foreign trade policy. It was necessary to be the guide of the Economic Authority in this field, to organize the exports of certain main export goods of Turkey, to develop the exports with foreign countries, to take the necessary measures in the economic field, to increase the version of Turkish goods in the internal and external markets, to reorganize the Economic Authority in a strong and strong way. In this context, a comprehensive change was made in the organization structure of the Economic Council with the law adopted on May 27, 1934 and the Turkish Directorate was established to deal with foreign trade according to the law. Turkofis is an example of organization formed in the framework of the efforts of Turkey to produce foreign trade policy. The establishment of Turkofis to deal with foreign trade affairs and change the organization structure of the Economic Council should be seen as manifestations of the national economic policy followed. The main task of Turkofisi is to ensure the external trade relations of Turkey, on the one hand to identify a trade policy that will protect the national economy, taking into account the frequently changing political and economic course in the world, on the other hand to try to advance exports despite the existing barriers. Turkey has also taken over tourism and propaganda. Turkofis is an important foreign trade organization that has succeeded in the period of the Republic, putting into practice the foreign trade policy of Turkey. The main sources of the research will be the document containing reports, newspapers and decrees on the Turkish Republic, which is included in the Prime Minister's Republic Archive. Official publications for the laws related to Turkofis are also other important sources applied. The periodic publications and authoritarian works containing information and comments about the research are also among the sources of the research.
