Abstract
During the period between the two world wars, Ataturk's insistence made the Hatay issue one of the leading issues of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1936. Ataturk carefully followed the transfer of the issue to Geneva and the subsequent process, leaving France in a difficult situation with diplomatic and military maneuvers. The uprisings in Syria and Britain's desire to take Turkiye to its side were important in resolving the Hatay issue. This study reveals how the Hatay issue was resolved by the ingenious foreign policy pursued by Ataturk in the changing world balances through documentary evidence. Additionally, how meticulously the telegrams sent by the ambassadors of Rome, Berlin, Washington, London, and Paris were followed by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and how hard the Ministry worked on the Hatay issue were analyzed. This research is based on documents obtained from the Turkish Foreign Ministry Diplomatic Archive.
