Name, Last name: Semih GÖKATALAY Signature : iii ABSTRACT TURKISH PRESS AND THE EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1950) Gökatalay, Semih M.Sc., Department of Middle East Studies Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ebru Boyar August 2016, 302 pages This thesis investigated how Turkish press’ perceptions of the early Cold War were shaped from 1945 to 1950 by utilizing newspaper articles from the relevant period. The period at hand experienced Soviet demands from Turkey, Turkey’s drive to the West, and domestic political (i.e., transition to the multi-party system) and economic (i.e., transition to the liberal economy) changes. In this atmosphere, the Turkish press, which had organic links with politicians, had a vital role in shaping the domestic public opinion according to the early Cold War dynamics. In other words, the press was instrumental both to make the Turkish public to believe that a change in Turkish foreign policy direction was absolutely necessary and to spread out messages to the world with regard to Turkey’s understanding of struggles among foreign powers, which could not be uttered by Turkish political figures through the official channels. Early Cold War perceptions and presentations of the Turkish press, including governmental and oppositional newspapers did not follow a linear trend, in fact they had many inconsistencies; besides, the press did not perceive international developments in a uniform manner. Nonetheless, as this thesis argued, the abovementioned perceptions did not appear to be divergent from each other. Keywords: Turkey, Press, Early Cold War iv ÖZ TÜRK BASINI VE ERKEN SOĞUK SAVAŞ (1945-1950) Gökatalay, Semih Yüksek Lisans, Orta Doğu Araştırmaları Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Doç.Dr. Ebru Boyar Ağustos 2016, 302 sayfa Bu tez, dönemin gazetelerini kullanarak, Türk basınının 1945-1950 arasındaki erken Soğuk Savaş algılarının nasıl şekillendiğini incelemiştir. Bu dönem, Sovyetlerin Türkiye'den talepleriyle Türkiye'nin batıya yönelmesine ve çok partili sisteme geçiş gibi siyasi ve liberal ekonomiye geçiş gibi iktisadi dönüşümlere tanıklık etmiştir. Bu atmosferde, siyasilerle organik bağları bulunan Türk basını, erken Soğuk Savaş kamuoyunun şekillenmesinde anahtar bir role sahiptir. Basın, kamuoyunu Türk dış politikasındaki değişikliğin zorunluluğuna inandırmak görevini üstlenmiş ve ayrıca dış güçlere politikacıların resmi kanallardan veremeyeceği mesajları iletmek için aracı rolünü oynamıştır. Hem hükümet yanlısı hem de muhalefet destekçisi gazeteleri içeren Türk basınının, erken Soğuk Savaş algıları ve sunuşlarının doğrusal bir biçimde ilerlemediği hatta pek çok tutarsızlıklara sahip olduğu, bununla birlikte basının dış gelişmeleri algılamasının tek düze olmadığı gözlemlenmiştir. Ancak yine de bu tezin tartıştığı üzere, yukarıda bahsi geçen algılar birbirlerinden çok uzak görünmemektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Türkiye, Basın, Erken Soğuk Savaş v DEDICATION To My Parents vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Among all the people that I would like to thank for their direct or indirect contribution to this thesis, Ebru Boyar unsurprisingly comes first. She was the one who has always encouraged me to study the discipline of history with her endless support and understanding. I want to thank her for all the support she had given me before and during the time that I wrote this study. She not only taught me about how to do a historical research but also showed me what a perfect ‘mentor’ should be. As I said before, I will never forget her academic and mental supports during my tough times, which was a priceless experience for me, as being ‘only’ a candidate to become an academic. The valuable advices of Pınar Bedirhanoğlu and Nazan Çiçek are also gratefully acknowledged. Of course, I am grateful to Gözde Emen, ‘still’ as the best colleague in the world, for its enthusiastic engagement with my work. I am so thankful for having her in my life, as I will always be. With only her company and despite my constantly changing mood from the Brainy Smurf to the Grouchy Smurf, I was able to write this thesis. That’s why I should like to express both my gratefulness and apologies for my future wife. I want to thank my lovely and intellectual family as well. Without their understanding and patience, I would most probably have given up writing my thesis. They taught me importance of knowledge and being an altruistic person, who respects ‘all other human beings’. For these reasons, I would like to dedicate this study to them for my great privilege to become a member of such a family. I wish I would be a family guy like my parents and my sister in the future. I am undoubtedly most grateful for Armağan Hergüner, who is the best friend that a person could meet in her/his life. His company, as it always did, made me feel vii comfortable while his limitless support helped me to overcome my enervated state of mind. I am also indebted to İmran Ürkmeztürk, Bekir Kırkıcı, Kartal Akdeniz, Çağlar Dölek and my dear colleagues. I also thank my dear professors Fikret Şenses, Seven Ağır, Mustafa Türkeş and Ozan Eruygur for their contribution to my overall academic knowledge. Moreover, İrem Dikmen Toker absolutely deserves my praises and compliments for its endless understanding and admirable approach to research assistants. Last but not least, I owe further thanks for Fernand Braudel, Eric Hobsbawm and Ömer Lütfi Barkan, whose studies directed me to study the discipline of history. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS PLAGIARISM ............................................................................................................ iii ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................ iv ÖZ ................................................................................................................................ v DEDICATION ............................................................................................................ vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ....................................................................................... vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ............................................................................................ ix LIST OF FIGURES ................................................................................................... xii 1)CHAPTER INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................... 1 2) THE ATTITUDE OF THE GOVERNMENT AND THE OPPOSITION TO THE EMERGING COLD WAR .................................................................................. 9 2.1) THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT’S ATTITUDE TO THE COLD WAR ....................................................................... 10 2.1.1) The End of the Second World War and the Turkish Government: January 1945 - July 1945 .................................................................................... 11 2.1.2) The Reaction to the Soviet Demands and Accusations in Public: July 1945 – July 1947 ................................................................................................. 19 2.1.2.1) Transition from the One-Party Rule to the Multi-Party System and the Domestic Pressure in Turkey ................................................................... 19 2.1.2.2) Search for International Support ....................................................... 23 2.1.3) The Government Attitude to the Cold War: July 1947 - May 1950 ......... 37 2.1.4) Anti-Communism of the Government ...................................................... 47 2.1.5) Developmentalism of CHP in the early Cold War ................................... 53 2.2) OPPOSITION’S ATTITUDE TO THE COLD WAR .................................... 70 ix 3) TURKISH PRESS AND ITS ROLE: REFLECTING THE COLD WAR TO THE PUBLIC ............................................................................................................. 80 3.1) TURKISH PRESS IN THE EARLY COLD WAR ........................................ 81 3.2) DEVELOPING A COLD WAR LANGUAGE .............................................. 93 3.3) COVERAGE OF THE END OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR BY TURKISH PRESS: JANUARY 1945 - JULY 1945 ............................................ 102 3.4) THE PRESS AND THE EMERGING COLD WAR: JULY 1945 – JULY 1947 .....................................................................................................................

Cumhuriyet dönemi başlangıcında ve 1945-1946 yılları arasında çok partili siyasal hayata geçişte önemli bir rol oynayan CHP; ülke yönetimini 1950’de Demokrat Parti’ye devretmiştir. Dolayısıyla CHP, Türk Siyasi Tarihi’nin bu sürecinde; ülkede yaşanan siyasal, sosyal, iktisadi ve kültürel bütün gelişmelerin yönlendiricisi olmuştur. Türkiye Siyaseti’nde böyle önemli bir konuma sahip olmakla beraber, kendi iktidarından sonra yaşanan siyasal gelişmeleri, kurulan siyasal parti ve kurumları da etkilemiştir. Bu nedenle Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Tarihi üzerine yapılan birçok araştırmanın da başlangıcında ve günümüze kadar gelen süreçte, CHP bir şekilde yer almış, halen de almaktadır. Bu çalışmada; 1930-1950 yılları arasında, Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi’ne bağlı vilayet örgütlerinin, düzenlemiş oldukları kongrelerde görüşülüp, karara bağlanan ve parti merkez yönetimine iletilen hususların, parti politikalarına etkisinin olup olmadığı incelenmiştir.

    BECOMING ONE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NATIONAL UNIFICATION IN VIETNAM, YEMEN AND GERMANY A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Conflict Resolution By Min Jung Kim, B.A. Washington, DC May 1, 2009 I owe my most sincere gratitude to my thesis advisor Kevin Doak, Ph.D. for his guidance and support and to Aviel Roshwald, Ph.D. and Tristan Mabry, Ph.D. for detailed and constructive comments. Min Jung Kim ii BECOMING ONE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NATIONAL UNIFICATION IN VIETNAM, YEMEN AND GERMANY Min Jung Kim, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Kevin M. Doak, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to understand the dynamic processes of modern national unification cases in Vietnam (1976), Yemen (1990) and Germany (1990) in a qualitative manner within the framework of Amitai Etizoni’s political integration theory. There has been little use of this theory in cases of inter-state unification despite its apparent applicability. This study assesses different factors (military force, utilitarian and identitive factors) that influence unification in order to understand which were most supportive of unification and which resulted in a consolidation unification in the early to intermediate stages. In order to answer the above questions, the thesis uses the level of integration as a dependent variable and the various methods of unification as independent variables. The dependent variables are measured as follows: whether unified states were able to protect its territory from potential violence and secessions and to what extent alienation emerged amongst its members.

  • New Evidence on the Korean War
    176 COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT BULLETIN 11 New Evidence on the Korean War Editor’s note: The documents featured in this section of the Bulletin present new evidence on the allegations that the United States used bacteriological weapons during the Korean War. In the accompanying commentaries, historian Kathryn Weathersby and scientist Milton Leitenberg (University of Maryland) provide analysis, context and interpretation of these documents. Unlike other documents published in the Bulletin, these documents, first obtained and published (in Japanese) by the Japanese newspaper Sankei Shimbun, have not been authenticated by access to the archival originals (or even photocopies thereof). The documents were copied by hand in the Russian Presidential Archive in Moscow, then typed. Though both commentators believe them to be genuine based on textual analysis, questions about the authenticity of the documents, as the commentators note, will remain until the original documents become available in the archives. Copies of the typed transcription (in Russian) have been deposited at the National Security Archive, a non-governmental research institute and repository of declassified documents based at George Washington University (Gelman Library, Suite 701; 2130 H St., NW; Washington, DC 20037; tel: 202/994-7000; fax: 202/ 994-7005) and are accessible to researchers. CWIHP welcomes the discussion of these new findings and encourages the release of the originals and additional materials on the issue from Russian, Chinese, Korean and U.S. archives.

  • Fear, Appeasement, and the Effectiveness of Deterrence1

Email: [email protected]. 3Associate Professor of Political Science, Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences, California Insti- tute of Technology, MC 228-77, Pasadena, CA 91125. Email: [email protected]. Abstract Governments often fear the future intentions of their adversaries. In this paper we show how this fear can make deterrent threats credible under seemingly incredible circumstances. We consider a model in which a defender seeks to deter a transgression with both intrinsic and military value. We examine how the defender's fear of the challenger's future belligerence affects his willingness to respond to the transgression with war. We derive conditions under which even a very minor transgression effectively \tests" for the challenger's future belligerence, which makes the defender's deterrent threat credible even when the transgression is objectively minor and the challenger is ex- ante unlikely to be belligerent. We also show that fear can actually benefit the defender by allowing her to credibly deter. We show the robustness of our results to a variety of extensions, and apply the model to analyze the Turkish Straits Crisis of 1946.

  • Canada in the Cold War
    CANADA IN THE COLD WAR Countries in the Cold War Soviet Union/USSR/CCCP/The Motherland/Russia The USSR flag is one of the most iconic flags during the 20th century. Adopted during 1924, this flag would go over a few changes, and would no longer be in use in 1991, when the Soviet Union fell. The Flag has a red backround with a hammer and sickle in the top left corner, with a yellow and red star on top of the hammer and sickle. The hammer and sickle represent workers, peasents, and the victorious revolutionary alliance, while the star represents the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. 1 CANADA IN THE COLD WAR America/US/USA/Merica/The Union The iconic American flag was the capitalist superpower in the Cold War. It was adopted in 1959 by a high schooler who wanted a higher grade. The 50 stars represent the 50 states that are in the Union. The 13 stripes represent the first 13 colonies that took over British lands in North America. 2 CANADA IN THE COLD WAR Canada/CAN/Maple Syrup/The True North/The Dominion of Canada Canada was a key ally of the United States, and was one of the founders of NATO. After no longer being a Dominion of Britain, Canada changes its flag and removes its old one. The flag includes red and white stripes, with a maple leaf in the center. 3 CANADA IN THE COLD WAR UK/United Kingdom/Britain/Great Britain/British Empire The UK was the largest empire in human history, bigger than the Mongol Empire, bigger then the French, and bigger than Russia.

    SABATAYCILIK SALTANATI VE MEŞHUR DÖNMELER - Milli Çözüm Dergisi Yazar Milli Çözüm Dergisi 26 Temmuz 2012 Birçok internet sitesinde yıllardır yayınlandığı ve hiç kimsenin yalanlama ihtiyacı duymadığı,“Sabataist Müslüman görünümlü gizli Yahudi”leri, tekrar gündeme getirmek, asılsız iddia ve iftiralar varsa, ilgililere bunları düzeltme imkanı vermek; ve şahısları deşifre edip hedef göstermek gibi bayağı ve aşağı bir fesatlıktan uzak; ülkemizin, devletimizin ve milletimizin muhatap olduğu bir tehdide dikkat çekmek üzere bu konuya değinmeyi münasip gördük. Bilinen bazı “Selanik Dönmeleri” (“Sabataycılar” veya “Gizli Yahudiler”) Bu listenin dayandığı kaynak: ( http://www.sabetay.50g.com/Liste/liste.html ) internette bulduğum en geniş DÖNME listesiydi. Fakat 28 Şubat’ın (1997) meşhur isimlerini bu listede göremedim: Org.

Ordu’dan en çok İRTİCACI subay ve öğrenci atılması 28 Şubat’ın ilk yıllarında gözlendi, Üniversiteler İRTİCACI’lardan temizlendi. Daha evvelden imam hatiplerde, üniversitelerde başörtüsü ile okunabilirken, bu tarihten sonra bu hak engellendi. İmam Hatiplerin pratikte önü kesildi. Yükselen Anadolu sermayesinin önü kesildi. (Cüneyt Ülsever’e göre, 28 Şubatın asıl sebebi bu sermaye meselesiymiş). 28 Şubatın planları Deniz Kuvvetlerinin Gölcük’teki merkezinde yapıldı deniyor. Bu merkez 1999 Gölcük depreminde denize gömüldü. Rasathaneden Prof. Işıkara depremin merkez üssünün “tam deniz kuvvetleri merkezi” olduğunu söylemişti. Yakın geçmişteki bir Genel Kurmay Başkanımızın dönme olduğu vurgulanıyor. 2-3 defa nüfus kütüğünü bir şehirden başka şehre taşıdığı, izini kaybettirmek için yaptığı söyleniyor. “Türkler 1.500.000 ermeni öldürdü” deyip, derhal Nobel’i alan Orhan Pamuk’u da unutmamak gerekiyor.

  • Israel and Turkey: from Covert to Overt Relations
    Israel and Turkey: From Covert to Overt Relations by Jacob Abadi INTRODUCTION Diplomatic relations between Israel and Turkey have existed since the Jewish state came into being in 1948, however, they have remained covert until recently. Contacts between the two countries have continued despite Turkey's condemnation of Israel in the UN and other official bodies. Frequent statements made by Turkish officials regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian dilemma give the impression that Turco-Israeli relations have been far more hostile than is actually the case. Such an image is quite misleading, for throughout the years political, commercial, cultural and even military contacts have been maintained between the two countries. The purpose of this article is to show the extent of cooperation between the two countries and to demonstrate how domestic as well as external constraints have affected the diplomatic ties between them. It will be argued that during the first forty years of Israel's existence relations between the two countries remained cordial. Both sides kept a low profile and did not reveal the nature of these ties. It was only toward the end of the 1980s, when the international political climate underwent a major upheaval, that the ties between the two countries became official and overt. Whereas relations with Israel constituted a major problem in Turkish diplomacy, Israeli foreign policy was relatively free from hesitations and constraints. For Israeli foreign policy makers it was always desirable to establish normal relations with Turkey, whose location on the periphery of the Middle East gave it great strategic importance.

  • HALİL Erdemirdecember 2001- February 2002 / Vol
    PERCEPTIONS JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS December 2001- February 2002 / Vol. - VI Num.4 THE ORIGIN OF THE CYPRUS QUESTION: THE BRITISH POLICY ON THE CREATION OF CYPRUS REPUBLIC HALİL ERDEMİR Halil Erdemir is a PhD candidate and tutor in the Department of Politics, University of Wales Swansea. INTRODUCTION Cyprus holds an important place in the United Kingdom’s foreign policy. There was a rather complex situation in Cyprus during the 1950s; the Greeks tried for enosis (the union of Cyprus with Greece), the Turks resisted, arguing either for the status quo or for taksim (partition), while Britain tried to quit the Island with the exception of keeping two air bases. British officials used every opportunity to preserve British influence on the Island. The Cyprus Question was the most difficult issue to the United Kingdom, Greece and Turkey during the second half of the 1950s and it disturbed Turkey’s relations with Greece and the United Kingdom. The Cyprus Question was the creation of the desires and aggression of two conflicting parties: Greece and the United Kingdom. The Greek Cypriots attempted to exclude the Turkish Cypriots from the Island’s political and economic life and directed terrorist actions against British soldiers and Turks on the Island. There was also a potential threat to the southern border of Turkey. An extreme group within the Greek community wanted to achieve enosis through using violence against their neighbouring community. Regarding Turkey and the international community, Cyprus is located in a crucial strategic area and simply cannot be left to any hostile power. Greece possesses the Aegean Islands that encircle Turkey’s border.1 Periodically, Greek terrorists attacked first the British and then Turkish Cypriots, causing difficulty in relations between Greece and Britain.
