The Provisional Government of Western Thrace〔International Affairs Agency Turkish Dossier Program, ''The Western Thrace Turks issue in Turkish-Greek relations'', International Affairs Agency, 1992, p. 105.〕〔Philip Hendrick Stoddard, ''The Ottoman government and the Arabs, 1911 to 1918: a preliminary study of the Teskilât-ı Mahsusa'', Princeton University, 1963, pp. 52-53.〕〔Andrew Mango, ''Atatürk: The Biography of the Founder of Modern Turkey'', Overlook Press, 2002, ISBN 978-1-58567-334-6, p. 102.〕 (Ottoman Turkish: غربی تراقیا حكومت موقتهسی - ''Garbi Trakya Hükûmet-i Muvakkatesi'', Greek: Προσωρινή Κυβέρνηση Δυτικής Θράκης, ''Prosorini Kyvernisi Dytikis Thrakis''), later renamed to Independent Government of Western Thrace〔〔Mesut Uyar, Edward J. Erickson, ''A military history of the Ottomans: from Osman to Atatürk'', ABC-CLIO, 2009, ISBN 978-0-275-98876-0, p. 259.〕 (Ottoman Turkish: غربی تراقیا حكومت مستقلهسی - ''Garbi Trakya Hükûmet-i Müstakilesi'', Greek: Αυτόνομη Κυβέρνηση Δυτικής Θράκης, ''Avtonomi Kyvernisi Dytikis Thrakis''), was a small, short-lived unrecognized republic established in Western Thrace from August 31 to October 25, 1913. It encompassed the area surrounded by the rivers Maritsa (Evros) in the east, Mesta (Nestos) in the west, the Rhodope Mountains in the north and the Aegean Sea in the south. Its total territory was c. 8.600 km². This administration was created after the Second Balkan War when Western Thrace was occupied by Greece and the Ottoman Empire by the local Turks, Greeks and Pomaks with the support of the Ottoman Empire. It was founded as a provisional state, in order to avoid Bulgarian rule, which was to be restored according to the treaties of Constantinople and Bucharest. However by 25 October, the area was returned to Bulgaria. The area remained a part of Bulgaria until 1919 when it was taken under French protectorate. It was finally annexed by Greece in 1920 and has been part of that country ever since, except for the Bulgarian occupation between 1941-1944. Its capital was Gümülcine, now Komotini, in Greece. ==Overview== President : Hoca Salih Efendi. Army: Standing force of 29,170, largely infantry. Commander of the Armed Forces 〔Çeçen, Anıl, Tarihte Türk Devletleri, Milliyet Kültür Yayınları, İstanbul 1986〕 was Süleyman Askerî Bey. Steering Committee : Reshid Bey, Raif Effendi, Hafous Salih Effendi, Nicodimos (commissioner of the Diocese of Maroneia, representing the Greeks), Mikirditch Tabakian (Armenian), Yaka Cassavi (Jew), Hafous Gali and Eshref Bey Kushchubasi.〔(in Greek:Τουρκική Δημοκρατία Δυτικής Θράκης - Υπερβολή ή πραγματική απειλή, Costas Pikramenos, 14th of September 2013 )〕 As soon as independence was declared the Provisional Government of Western Thrace determined the borders of the country, put up the new flags on the official buildings, commissioned a national anthem, raised an army, published its own stamps and passports〔, and prepared the budget of the new country. A Jewish citizen, Samuel Karaso, was tasked by the government with establishing an official press agency and to publish a newspaper named ''Müstakil'' ("Independent") in Turkish and French. The Ottoman Laws and Regulations were adopted without any change and the cases started to be heard by the Court of Western Thrace. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Provisional Government of Western Thrace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
