Coming of Mustafa Kemal Pasha To Amasya
During the Independence War, Amasya Sanjak which was bound to Sivas Province
had an important place.
Mondros Armistice Treaty was signed with Ottoman State which was determined
that it was lost in the First World War and Allied States. Allied States
commented that Treaty for their own benefits, and then started to occupy
Anatolia from place to place. Because of these occupations, Anatolian people
founded The Societies for Defence of Rights.
After Izmir was occupied in 15 May 1919, Turkish Society started resistance
everywhere in occupied places by constituting The National Resistance Forces,
because Padishah and the Govenment didn’t do their duties. However, Ottoman
Government had believed that, resistance would cause nonexistence,
liberation could be ensured in the care of Enlish.
Because, Mustafa Kemal Pasha had believed that independence would be earned
with the Society Movement, liberation wouldn’t be earned with Padishah and
the Government, Mustafa Kemal and his friends had landed in Samsun on 19 May
1919 to combine The National Forces to Anatolian Society as an inspector of
9th Army, and then he came to Havza which was boud to Amasya Sanjak.
Mustafa Kemal Pasha had wanted information about Amasya from Major Cemil
Vahit (Toydemir) before he left Samsun, and had learnt that the most popular
person in Amasya was Müfti Hadji Tevfik. Mustafa Kemal sent a telegram which
had a summary of his speeches in Havza and told that he was about to come to
Amasya to him from Havza on 26 May 1919, and got a reply as;
“ Amasya Society will be very happy to accept the defenders of the Country,
and Defenders of the Religion and State....”
While Amasya people were meeting their guest on Culus Hill, Mufti Hadji
Tevfik said to Mustafa Kemal;
“ Pasha! All of Amasya is under your orders.... Your movement be holy!...”
And he hugged and then introduce the people around him.
