Özet

At the time the Armistice of Mudros was signed, Prince Sabahattin was in Switzerland, where he had been resident since 1913. Known for his fierce opposition to both Sultan Abdulhamid II and the Committee of Union and Progress, Sabahattin was one of the political figures expected to be active during the armistice period when the members of the Union and Progress were considered war criminals. The supporters of Prince Sabahattin, who returned to Turkey at the end of 1919, claim that he was actually a supporter of the National Struggle from the beginning. However, the primary sources of the period and the statements of the Prince at that time do not confirm this claim. In this study, the attitudes and activities of Prince Sabahattin against the National Struggle movement and his relations with Mustafa Kemal Pasha will be examined.
