Battle of Urfa
The Battle of Urfa ((トルコ語:Urfa Savunması)) was an uprising in the spring of 1920 against the French army occupying the city of Urfa (modern Şanlıurfa) by the Turkish National Forces. The French garrison of Urfa held out for two months until it sued for negotiations with the Turks for safe conduct out of the city. However, after the French commander Hauger covertly attempted to contact its British allies in order to buy time, an armed conflict arose which left most of the French forces and an unknown number of Turkish soldiers dead.
==Background==
The city of Urfa was occupied by the French army in the autumn of 1919 with the aim of incorporating this portion of the Ottoman Empire into the French Mandate of Syria. The designs of the French over the region of Cilicia were denounced by Mustafa Kemal Pasha, the leader of the newly formed Turkish National Movement. In the later part of 1919 Kemal and his supporters began to prepare to launch major insurrections against the thinly spread French units garrisoned in Marash, Aintab and Urfa to force the French to give up their territorial pretensions in the region. In January 1920, Ali Saip Bey, the deputy from Urfa to the Turkish National Congress, called on the Kurdish tribes of Urfa to close ranks against the French and resist.〔Kerr, Stanley E. ''The Lions of Marash: Personal Experiences with American Near East Relief, 1919-1922''. Albany: State University of New York Press, 1973, p. 214.〕 His actions were coordinated with Kılıç Ali Bey (Kuluj Ali), a Kurdish army captain.
