Abstract
The Republic of Turkey (Türkiye Cumhuriyeti) was established on October 29, 1923. The Treaty of Lausanne (signed on July 24, 1923), designated the new government in Ankara as the legal and legitimate heir of the Ottoman Empire, for the latter had been abolished in 1922 and thus was not a party to the Treaty.1 The new Turkish government would rather sever its ties with the decrepit and by then abolished Empire. Indeed, most enterprises and policies designed by the Turkish government after 1923 were to serve that purpose.
