Before the explanation of the Sevres Sydrome of Turkey, we need to look at the where it is coming from. Sevres Syndrome recieved name from the Treaty of Sevres wich Ottoman Empire has signed in 1920 with Allied countries, Britain, Italiy, Greece and Armenia. This treaty provided for a partition of the Ottoman Empire, leaving only minor parts of Anatolia with Istanbul as capital for the Turks. In the same time in Anatolia there was new regime uprises which under the leadership of the Mustafa Kemal, new Turkish Nationalist Movement. The idea that protection of Turkish identity and fight against internal and external problems. The territorial claims of Russia, Britain, France, Italy, Armenia, and Greece, Turkey was about to disappear from the political scene. This situation changed with the victory of the republican forces in the Turkey-Greece war in Izmir which nationalist movement won the war, after that following which the allies accepted Turkish demands for self-determination. After the win a war against Greek forces in July 1923, the treaty of Lausanne removed the never implemented clauses of Sèvres and the sovereignty of the Turkish Republic was acknowledged. However, the Sevres experience was not forgotten and the integrity, sovereignty and consolidation of the new state continued to be at the center of the Kemalist reforms. Mustafa Kemal, had to defend their position not only against foreign threats, but also at home. The Kurdish rebellion under the Naqshbandi Sheikh Said and assassination attempt against Mustafa Kemal in Izmir are one of the domestic threat.

...kish citizen sees that, we are surrounded by the external enemies and they want to destroy us and have problems in the country as well, of course Turkey have domestic problems in every aspect of politic and economic as well. This situation is same for whole world not just for Turkey.And Turkey sees in every action of Western countries that we think they bring up again Sevres condition or similar situation that we must face again, this is wrong. We must move forward from this idea. I can say that for the bright future of Turkey, we must overcome from those phobias and problems for Turkey's future on politics, economy and even in social structure. For coming to this day Turkish people faced many wars and the people who living in this country from other ethnic group must be as a one nation under the Republic of Turkey, if not, we can not achieve anything in any area

    Prior to my research, there were two interesting articles that have struck my attention regarding the states and issues that are being discussed in this essay. The first article is A Survey of the Turkish Empire by Sir William Eton. In the article, Eton discusses his admiration of the glorious army that had once belonged to the Ottoman Empire. He describes the Turkish army as “formidable”, and organized. Eton tune quickly changes by criticizing their faults and ultimately what led to their demise. Eton states that “it is a mob assembled rather than an army levied.” This article had great impact because while researching the topic, I was able to better understand the role of the military in the Ottoman Empire.

One thing is for certain however, Turkish life on an everyday level has been affected to a large degree, and until the crisis and civil war in, and between, Syria is solved, or at least contained better within Syria, Turkish economy will suffer the most as instability and conflict are highly unappealing to investment and tourism, two industries Turkey needs desperately. The expenditure necessary to receive and house Syrian refugees grows larger each day as well. All things the same, in Turkish eyes, Turkey is on track to supporting a new Syrian government, one in which Turkey and Syrians may once again share a common cultural and economic bond with one another without fear of retribution or crisis being just around the corner. How Turkey will fare at the end of the Syrian civil war, as well as the anticlimax of the Arab Spring, is also uncertain.

    Turkey would base its political and legal systems on the modern secular models as well as strengthening its political relations with the West to reach its goals as a new republic. The goals as expressed by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the leader of the nationalist movement and first president of the Turkish Republic, were "to reach the level of contemporary civilization". To achieve these goals, a doctrine for foreign relations was created; as Atarurk said, "Peace at home, Peace in the world."      This has not been an easy task, the history and geographical location of Turkey. It lies at a "crossroads" where the two large continents of Europe and Asia meet. This unique location gives Turkey a very diverse population, Balkan, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Caucasian and Asian identities.

    The Turkish government had a reason to get rid of the Armenians. In the Ottoman Empire, Armenians were second class citizens that lived in harmony with the Turks before the forces of nationalism came into the picture. Even though the Armenians had to face higher taxes and second class citizenship, they were treated and accepted pretty well. When nationalism took over, things began to change. The Ottoman Empire began to fall and the Armenians were considered to be the only major Christian minority since all the other minorities had gained their independence already. The Ottoman Empire became known as the "sick man of Europe". An empire that was once strong and an independent power, was now starting to collapse. The Turks had an envision of spreading new-Pan Turkic empire to Central Asia and the only thing that came in the way of doing so was the Armenians. Because of this, Turks wanted to get rid of the Armenians. Sultan Hamid II ruled the Ottoman Empire and because of him, the empire was saved and did not fall. Despite saving the Ottoman Empire, Hamid ordered th...

The Turkish government set out to do just that, they wanted a takeover to occur, they were aiming to wipe out a whole race, because of what? To have a mono-ethnic and mono-religious society? To become “perfect”, well it needs to be recognized by all, especially the Turks. The Turkish need to realize that they cannot put the blame on others, the killings were by their hands not any other group. It’s hard to admit something so far into someone’s past, and some have a hard time reminiscing those memories because they are ashamed of what they did to people just like them. What people of today’s society need to realize is that just because it’s hard to admit that their people did something so horrible, does not mean that it does not need to be acknowledged nor appointed to.

    674 Words  | 2 Pages

    Turkey was for 623 years part of the Ottoman Empire. In 1918 shortly after World War one allied forces occupied Turkey. This occupation prompted the Turkish War of Independence. This led to the creation of the Turkish National Movement under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Pasha, a military commander. The goal of the Turkish National Movement was to reject the terms of the Treaty of Sevres, which was a treaty between the Ottoman Empire and the Allies. Following the end of the war in 1922 the Allied forces were removed from the country. In November 1922 Turkey abolished foreign rule and became an Independent country. The initial government was a form of parliament. However it wasn't until October 1923 that the Republic of Turkey was officially named the successor to the Ottoman Empire. Mustafa Kemal officially became the first President of Turkey and introduced many reforms with the aim of a new secular republic. A new writing system was put in place based off the Latin alphabet, full right for women were established and the famous Turkish fez was abolished.
