Geç Osmanlı’dan Erken Cumhuriyet’e Siyasal Seçkinlerin Suriye’ye Bakışı: Hüseyin Cahit Yalçın ve Falih Rıfkı Atay Örnekleri
Developments in Syria over the past eight years prompted the arguments claiming that Early Republican Turkey had turned her back to the Middle East. However, after a close consideration regarding the discourses of the political elite in Turkey, it becomes evident that Early Republican Turkey’s Middle East policy had been tending to rapprochement with Arab countries rather than avoidance of getting involved in regional issues. This article aims to scrutinize the viewpoints of the outstanding political elite of the Late Ottoman and Early Republican periods like Huseyin Cahit Yalcin and Falih Rifki Atay toward Greater Syria (Bilad-al-Sham) in order to understand the historical and intellectual backgrounds of Early Republican Turkey’s Middle East policy.
