Özet:

Ayvalık was a settlement center in the western Anadolu, close to the entire population of the Roms. In Ayvalik, which is one of the main centers of Greek nationalism in Western Anadolu, the Romans, during the Balkan War and during the First World War, supported the states that the Ottoman State fought. In both wars, as the Roms were close to the Çanakkale Gulf, in Ayvalık, which is in an important position in terms of throat security, increasing their harmful activities against the state and Muslim allies led to the emergence of very serious security problems here. Therefore, the Ottoman army, which was in an intense struggle on the fronts, had to increase its measures against a military expulsion that could occur here. Ayvalık's becoming a place that threatens Anadolu's security in both wars has led to it and the Terakki's view of the Roms living here as an unreliable element. The government has taken action from this point of view and since 1914 has taken action to minimize the danger caused by the Ayvalık Rum. In order to ensure security by minimizing the possibility of Greece’s attack here, the most important decision the government made was the immigration of the Romans from here. But this immigration would be toward outside the country, Greece and the Egean islands that were passed into the hands of Greece. This method would reduce the possibility of Greece’s expulsion of soldiers to Ayvalık by reducing the population of the Roms. During the World War, the government would continue to exercise the threat here, and the Romans would emigrate to other places within the country and completely dissolve Ayvalık.
