Özet:

İzmir Port and İzmit Gulf issues are the problems come out with the interruption of Lausanne Conference. When Lausanne Conference, held in November 20, 1922, could not solve the most of the problems between Turkish Grand National Assembly Government and Allied Powers, it was interrupted on 4 February 1923. Upon the interruption of negotiation, Turkish Grand National Assembly Government which had some hesitations about security announced with a memorandum to the High Commissioners of Allied Powers and Allied Powers that İzmir and İzmit Ports were closed to the war ships carrying loads over a gross ton belonged to the Allied Powers. Allied Powers did not want to accept Turkish Grand National Assembly Government’s decision. They reported to Turkish Government that they would not withdraw and defend themselves in case of an assault to the ships. For this reason there was a period of tension between the parties. As a result of the negotiations between the Allied Powers and Turkish Grand National Assembly Government, the issue was overcome through diplomatic channels. Allied Powers accepted to withdraw the war ships heavier than a gross ton. Finally, they withdraw these ships on February 27, 1923
