Turquie, tu dois Ataturk a dieu et le reste a Ataturk

24 TEMMUZ 1923. LOZAN ANTLAŞMASININ 90. YILI
1905 ten 1922 ye kadar dort cephede cok defalar haksizca saldiriya ugrayan Turk milletinin olum-kalim savasi diye bilinen Istiklal harbi, temelinde vatan savunmasiyla, Canakkale’de baslamistir. Vatan savunmasinin ne demek oldugunu ancak vatanini savunan bilir. Birinci dunya harbi, esasinda somurgeci bazi Avrupa devletlerinin hakim olduklari Asya ve Afrika kit’asi uzerinde hakimiyetlerine, son kalan Osmanli devletini aralarinda paylasmalarindan ibaretti. Bilindigi gibi Turk milleti Sevres antlasmasiyla sona eren vatanin bolunmesine Ataturk’un onderliginde asla musaade etmedi ve akla hayale gelen zamanin en agir kosullari altinda dusman isgalinde bulunan vatan topraklarini kaniyla geri aldi. Bu kanli mucadelenin dunya devletlerine hakkimizin tanitilmasi icin Isvicre’nin Lausanne kentinde baris masasinda tanitilmasi gerekiyordu. Lausanne antlasmasinin gidisatini Ankara’dan buyuk itina ve direktifleriyle idare eden Ataturk’un emirlerini yerine getiren, masa basinda karsi hucumlara kaya gibi sarsilmadan direnc gosteren ve konferansin acilisinda Turkiye topraklari uzerinde baska hic bir devletin kurulmasina taviz verilmeyecegini hatirlatan Ismet Inonu’yu asla unutmamak gerekir.
22 kasim 1922 – 24 temmuz 1923 tarihleri arasinda yapilan konferansta kendileri deri koltuklara oturup Turk delegelerine oturmalari icin tabure sunarak rusvetle kandiracaklarini sananlar karsilarinda Turk milletini temsil eden bambaska vatanperver insanlarla karsilasmislar, Turk delegeleri gibi, kendileride sandalyalara oturmak mecburiyetinde kalarak, baslayan cetin cekismelerin neticesinde, Avrupa 2000 yillik tarihi boyunca, Bati ilk defa Dogu’nun karsisinda basini egmis ve somurcu Avrupa siyasetinin yayilmasi Asyanin kapisinda durdurulmustur. Kiliseler tarihin donum noktasini can calarak bildirdiler.
Lausanne anlasmasi 20nci yuzyilin hayatta kalan ve gecerligini muhafaza eden tek anlasmadir ve hic bir devletten destek gormeden Turk milletinin kendi emegi ile 29 ekim 1923 te kurdugu Cumhuriyetin siyasi temelidir. Birinci dunya harbinden sonra, galip
devletler tarafindan 20nci yuzyilda kurulan devletler (Finlandiya, uc Baltik devletleri, Polonya, Cekoslovakya, Avusturya, Macaristan, Yugoslavya) disinda, Turkiye Cumhuriyeti 90 yil muddetle, bilhassa ikinci dunya savasinda, zaman zaman disardan baskilara ragmen, araliksiz ayakta kalmayi basaran tek devlettir.
Taraf ülkelerin temsilcileri arasında imzalanan anlaşma, uluslararası anlaşmaların ülke meclislerince onaylanmasını gerektiren yasalar gereğince[2] taraf ülkelerin
meclislerinde görüşülmüş ve Türkiye tarafından 23 Ağustos 1923’te,
Yunanistan tarafından 25 Ağustos 1923’te kabul edilerek, bu suretle muttefikler arasinda derin yara acilmis ve, her turlu direnmelerine
ragmen, sonunda İtalya, Ingiltere, Fransa devletlerinin meclislerinde anlasmayi kabul etmekten baska hic bir careleri kalmamistir.
LOZAN ICIN BATILILAR NE DEDILER
The Treaty of Lausanne was a surprising contrast to the Treaty of Sevres. The Great Powers who had been so ready to dictate terms, not only of peace but of national destruction, to the Turks now found themselves obliged to bow their heads.

Schoolboys in Europe are at present taught in their lessons on contemporary history, that one of the victories of the Entente at the end of 1918 was the victory over Turkey.
Now, the truth is, that if the victor is the country that gains everything in the treaty of piece at Lausanne, and the defeated are those who lose all the privileges they enjoyed
in that country before the war, there is no doubt that it is Turkey which had won the war against us.

Dank Gasi Mustafa Kemal wurde der Lausanner Konferenz am 24.7.1923 der Freibrief der neuen Turkei. Die Glocken der christlichen Kathedrale läuteten den Wendepunkt in der Geschichte ein. Zum ersten Mal hat das neuere Europa Asien gegenuber eine Niederlage erlitten. Der Ausdehnungsdrang des Westens nach dem Osten hin war an der Schwelle des asiatischen Kontinents zum Stillstand gekommen.

The Conference of Lausanne, which met from Nov. ’22 to July ‘24 was one of the most important diplomatic gatherings after the world war. It marked the definite triumph of Turkish nationalism under Mustafa Kemal, the disastrous defeat of Greece and Hellenic dreams in Asia Minor, and dignified a victory of French over British policy in the region of the Near East. …………….. The long struggle of the Turks for national independence was one of the great epics of recent world history. That independence won on the battlefields of Asia Minor was to be completed by no less notable victories in diplomacy at Lausanne.

The latest promoted and youngest general of WW I. Admirable military leader and revolutionar. His reversal of the Treaty of Sevres after the WW I is a remarkable diplomacy.

After eight months of bargaining at Lausanne, the Allies have given away each and everything they have won by centuries and by the Great War. Indeed, the Lausanne conference, no doubt, in every aspect, has been, a complete failure.

The Treaty of Lausanne. which gave to Turkey the whole of the conditions claimed by the National Pact, coupled with the Allied evacuation of Constantinople, made Mustafa Kemal the creator of modern Turkey and the winner not merely of a military victory over the Greeks, but a far-reaching diplomatic success againgst the Western Powers.

The Peace Treaty of Lausanne is the decisive stage in the history of the Eastern Question and the start of the new glorious period of the Turkish nation on the national soil in both Europe and Asia.
