Özet:

Yavuz Sultan Selim, the region of Syria, included within the Ottoman borders during the period. During the World War first was occupied by the British and then by the French, the Ottoman lost this area with the 1918 Mondros ceasefire treaty. The secret agreement between the opposition states was left to the French mandate with Sykes-Picot. He remained under the protection of the French until his independence was won in 1946. After the liberation war, the issues between Syria and the border have arisen like the Turks who remain in Syria. The most important problem is the Hatay problem. Turkey has kept the Hatay issue on its agenda and has continued its struggle to give Hatay to Turkey. In this study, the relations between Turkey and Syria during the Atatürk period were more widely addressed by the agreements made with Syria and especially the Hatay issue.
