Misak-ı Milli sınırları dâhilinde olan İskenderun Sancağı 20 Ekim 1921'de TBMM Hükümetinin Fransa ile yaptığı Ankara Antlaşması'na göre özel yönetimli bir statüye kavuşturulmuştur. Ortadoğu’daki manda idarelerinin bölge yönetimlerine bırakılmaya başlamasıyla Fransa da Suriye mandasını kaldırma kararı almış, Sancak'ın yönetimini Suriye hükümetine devretmiştir. Türkiye bu gelişme karşısında özel yönetim statüsünde bulunan İskenderun Sancağı'na da bağımsızlık verilmesi amacıyla diplomatik yollara başvurmuştur. Milletler Cemiyetindeki görüşmeler sonucunda Hatay 29 Mayıs 1937'de iç işlerinde serbest dış işlerinde Suriye'ye bağlı ve ayrı bir anayasaya sahip idare statüsü kazanmıştır. Fransa, Hatay meselesi konusunda süregelen, olumsuz tutumuna 4 Temmuz 1938'de Türkiye ile yaptığı “Müşterek Beyanname” ile son vermiştir. 1938 yılında Türkiye ile Fransa Müşterek Beyannamesini Türkiye adına Dışişleri Bakanı Tevfik Rüştü Aras Fransa adına da Ankara Büyükelçisi H. Ponsot beyan etmiştir. 1930 yılında iki ülke arasında yapılan anlaşma hükümlerine bağlı kalmayı taahhüt eden “Müşterek Beyanname”nin açıklanması sonrasında Yabancı basında beyanname üzerinden Hatay meselesine dair gazetelerde haberler ve başyazılar kaleme alınmıştır. Ayrıca Türk Dış İşleri Bakanlığı Suriye Fetel Arab, Bulgar Urta ve Yunan Proia basınında Hatay meselesi hakkında çıkan makaleler hakkında bir rapor hazırlamıştır. Bu çalışmada, Cumhuriyet Arşivi vesikaları ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Hariciye Vekâleti tarafından hazırlanan yabancı basına ait rapor değerlendirilmiş, Yabancı kamuoyunun bakış açısından Türkiye’nin Hatay politikası incelenmiştir.
The Alexandrian Sanctuary, which is within the national borders of Misak, was established on 20 October 1921 in accordance with the Ankara Treaty made by the TBMM Government with France. As the Manda administration in the Middle East began to be left to the regional governments, France also decided to remove the Syrian mandate, transferring the Sancak administration to the Syrian government. Turkey has also applied for diplomatic means in order to grant independence to the Alexandrian Sanctuary, which is in the status of private governance in the face of this development. As a result of negotiations in the United Nations, Hatay gained the administrative status of Syria in its internal affairs on May 29, 1937 and a separate constitution in its freedom of affairs. France ended its continued, negative attitude on the Hatay issue with the "Customer Declaration" made with Turkey on 4 July 1938. In 1938, Turkey and France announced the Customer Declaration on behalf of Turkey by Foreign Minister Tevfik Rüştü Aras on behalf of France by Ankara Ambassador H. Ponsot. After the publication of the "Customer Declaration", which in 1930 promised to remain consistent with the provisions of the agreement between the two countries, news and headlines on the Hatay issue in the foreign press were printed through the statement. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also prepared a report on the articles on the Hatay issue in the press of Syria Fetel Arab, Bulgarian Urta and Greek Proia. In this study, the report of the foreign press prepared by the Republic Archive and the Republic of Turkey Foreign Ministry was evaluated, the foreign public’s perspective of the Hatay policy of Turkey was studied.
The Sanjak of Alexandretta, which lies within the borders delineated in the National Pact, was conferred with a special administrative status in the Treaty of Ankara signed on October 20th, 1921 between France and the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. When the power of the mandated administrations in the Middle East started to be returned to governments in the region, France ended its claim over Syria and transferred the administration of the Sanjak to the Syrian government. Following this development, Turkey launched a diplomatic initiative demanding the independence of the Sanjak of Alexandretta, which was under a special administrative status at the time. After the deliberations of the League of Nations, on May 29th, 1937, Hatay gained a special administrative status with a separate constitution, becoming internally autonomous but externally part of Syria. France left its negative attitude in the Hatay question with the signing of the Turkish-French Joint Declaration of 1938, which was declared by Turkish Foreign Minister Tevfik Rüştü Aras and by H. Ponsot, the French Ambassador of Turkey. Following the Joint Declaration, within which both sides reiterated their commitment to the treaty signed between the two countries in 1930, articles and editorials about the Hatay question started to appear in the foreign press. Furthermore, the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs prepared a report of the articles published in Syrian “Fetel Arab”, Bulgarian “Utra” and Greek “Proia” newspapers about Hatay. This study examines documents held in the State Archives of the Republic of Turkey and report prepared by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the Foreign press, and analyzes foreign public opinion on Turkey’s Hatay policy.
