Founding the Republic chapter 5 Founding the Republic Ağaoğlu was arrested in Istanbul by the Ottoman police on January 15, 1919, and handed over to the British forces, being accused of crimes against the Armenians and other non-Muslims and his pro-German activities during the war.1 These he refuted repeatedly with the petitions he sent to the British High Commissioner.2 His wife Sitare Hanim, who was once described by a diplomat as a bluestocking, also wrote to the British, arguing that her husband was arrested purely as a consequence of intrigues worked out by personal hatred against him. “He had been given by General Thomson the permission to travel as Chief Delegate for the Azerbaijan Republic to the Paris Conference. On his return journey, he caught the Spanish fever and was lying down for two months in Constantinople. Before recovering from his illness he was imprisoned.”3 British authorities disregarded these petitions and considered Ağaoğlu to be “an extremely dangerous man” due to his pro-German and Pan-Islamist tendencies.4 According to British intelligence, he was of Jewish origin; he had been a member of Okhrana as agent provocateur at an early age and had studied in Moscow. He was also being accused of collaborating with Gökalp in arranging massacres in the Caucasus.5 No evidence I could find about any of these information on Ağaoğlu’s origins as put forward by the British intelligence, except, as shown previously, his pro-German and Pan- Islamist writings. After being kept in detention in Istanbul, Ağaoğlu was taken to Moudros and then to Malta where he spent about one and a half year in prison. After his arrival in Istanbul and during his detention, he kept a diary in which he took notes on day-to-day politics of the empire, often expressing his anger to the Istanbul government, the anti-Unionists and Greeks and Armenians who were collaborating with the Allies.6 Meanwhile, he studied English, but 1 Aghayef to Chancellor, April 16, 1919, TNA F0371/4174/296; Samet Ağaoğlu, Babamdan Hatıralar, p. 11.

While he was away, Ağaoğlu lost his position as professor at the Darülfünun at Ali Kemal’s command. This put the family in financial difficulty, which was why the National Assembly in Ankara would arrange a salary for them.11 Ağaoğlu was released from Malta again thanks to the Ankara government. He left Malta in May 1921 in an exchange of war captives with the British. Feeling indebted to Mustafa Kemal for these, he joined the National Liberation Movement led by the latter. Subsequently he found a place among the inner circle of the top echelon leaders of the Kemalists. In the 1920s, as the rpp gov- ernment turned into an authoritarian one, there would be a gradual shift from his position as an enthusiastic liberal advocate of what has been called the Kemalist Revolution to a critical revolutionary, however. As Zürcher periodises, the Kemalist Revolution, like the preceding Young Turk Revolution (1908), consisted of three phases12: the first phase began with the National Liberation Movement (c. 1919–1922), during which “the ‘Kemalist’ movement sprang up as an illegal armed resistance movement, which fought 7 Süreyya to Ahmet Agaef, October 8, 1919, KEKBMV 28/25; Clerk to Henderson, January 31, 1931, FO 424/274/13; Ahmet Ağaoğlu, “Ne İdik, Ne Olduk?

Çiğdem Balım2 Whispers across Continents is the story of a family spread over England, India, Ottoman Empire, Germany and the United States, and the period covered is from the 19th century to early 20th. It starts with Spencer Robinson (1838-1889), who was a tenant farmer from East Keal in Lincolnshire. He migrated to India to become a tea farmer and also worked on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. After the death of his first wife, in 1880 he married Hannah Rodda (1854-1948), who was raised in the slums of London’s East End. Their son Ahmet (Peel Harold) Robinson (1889-1965) or Ahmet ‘Robenson’ was born in Bengal, lived in the Ottoman Empire and died in New York. He was one of the first goalkeepers for the Galatasaray football team, and he is also known as the person who introduced scouting and basketball to the Ottoman Empire. The German connection of the story is through Gertrude Eisenman, an ‘illegitimate ’daughter of Hannah before she met Spencer. Later Gertrude became a cult figure in Germany as a racing motor-cyclist and a car rally driver in late Wilhelmine Germany. Hannah plays the central role in the family history. Apparently very little was known about her real life, and what was known was misrepresented or distorted. For example, her son Ahmed claimed that she had some aristocratic connection, which could not be further from the truth.

Prof. Selçuk Akşin Somel Keywords: Ali Kemal; Armistice press; First World War; Liberal opposition; Sabah newspaper The First World War that lasted from 1914 to 1918 occupies an important place in Turkish History. However, in comparison with the Turkish War of Independence, Ottoman experience of the Great War remains a relatively under-researched area. The Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), which ruled the Ottoman Empire during the War, constituted a dictatorship and kept the opposition under strict censorship. During the armistice period, political pressure was lifted and the press became a platform for criticism about the wartime policies of the Unionists and its consequences. Therefore, this study primarily aims to analyze Sabah (from January 1920 onwards published as Peyam-ı Sabah), a leading newspaper of the opposition, with regard to its perspective on the War during the armistice period. The emphasis of the study will be on the editor-in- chief of the paper, Ali Kemal, an iconic figure of the period, who had been very influential especially in Sabah’s analyses regarding the War and the figures who were responsible in this debacle.

    Turkish Studies Vol. 9, No. 1, 115–129, March 2008 Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s Six-Day Speech of 1927: Defining the Official Historical View of the Foundation of the Turkish Republic TONI ALARANTA University of Turku, Finland TaylorFTUR_A_281473.sgm10.1080/14683840701814042Turkish1468-3849Original200891000000MarchToniAlarantataalar@utu.fi and& StudiesArticle Francis (print)/1743-9663Francis 2008 Ltd (online) ABSTRACT The Republic of Turkey was founded in 1923 as a modern nation-state. The years preceding this, 1919 to 1922, are seen by the Turks as the years of their struggle for independence (millî mücadele), led by Mustafa Kemal (1881–1938), later known as Atatürk and the first president of the republic. On October 15–20, 1927, Kemal presented his famous six-day speech (Nutuk) at the General Congress of the Republican Party, giving his own account of the War of Independence. This essay analyzes the role this speech plays in defining the official historical view of the foundation of the Turkish Republic. Introduction The Republic of Turkey was founded in 1923. The years preceding this, 1919 to 1922, are viewed by Turks as the years of their struggle for independence (millî mücadele). As a result of this struggle, the Turkish state (devlet) was rebuilt in a totally new form, as a republic, in spite of the partition schemes of the victorious Allies during and after World War I. The Ottoman Empire had fought the First World War in alliance with Germany, and the Allies were prepared to split the Ottoman territories among them. Ultimately, this scheme came to nothing since the Turks rose in arms, and Britain and France were not ready to start a full-scale war in Anatolia.

This was apparently the only happy moment of his day. Celadet had little money, and less every day. His father’s pension had been revoked by the Ottoman state, so what little allowance the son had depended upon was no more.
