Özet
Cumhurbaşkanı Gazi Mustafa Kemal’in Cumhuriyet dönemindeki ilk İstanbul ziyareti, o güne kadarki yurtiçi gezilerinden farklı olarak büyük bir ilgi ve merakla takip edildi. Bu ziyaret, siyasetin olduğu gibi İstanbul ve Ankara basınının da en önemli gündemini oluşturdu. Yaklaşık üç ay kadar sürecek olan ziyaretin her aşaması büyük bir özen ve dikkatle takip edildi. Gazi’nin yaklaşık sekiz yıllık bir aradan sonra İstanbul’a gelmesi, bu tarihlerde Ankara’da olmak yerine İstanbul’da kalmayı tercih eden İngiltere’nin Ankara Büyükelçisi George R. Clerk’ın da çok yakından ilgilendiği bir gelişmeydi. Clerk, ziyaretin yapılacağına dair resmi açıklamalardan hemen sonra gündemine bu son derece önemli gördüğü gelişmeyi alarak Foreign Office rapor etmeye başlamıştır. Gazi’nin diğer yurt gezileri de İngiliz Büyükelçilik görevlileri tarafından yakından takip edilmiştir. Ancak Cumhuriyet döneminin bu ilk İstanbul ziyareti, Clerk’a göre diğer gezilerden çok daha farklı anlamlar taşıdığından son derece kritik ve önemli bir ziyaretti. Zira Gazi, Clerk’ın ifadesi ile Saltanat ve Hilafeti yıkan genç Cumhuriyetin kurucusu olarak İstanbul’a gelmiştir. George R. Clerk, bu ilk İstanbul ziyaretinin tüm ayrıntılarını Foreign Office rapor etmiştir. Raporlar aynı zamanda Clerk’ın 1927 yılı Türkiyesine bakışını da ortaya koyacak olan değerlendirmeler içermektedir.
Unlike the domestic trips until that day, President Ghazi Mustafa Kemal’s first visit to İstanbul in the Republican period was followed with great interest and curiosity. This visit created the most important agenda of politics as well as of Istanbul and Ankara press. Each stage of the trip, which would last about three months, was followed with great care and caution. British Ambassador George R. Clerk, who preferred to stay in İstanbul instead of being in Ankara, was also closely interested in Ghazi’s visit to İstanbul after a gap of nearly eight years. Immediately after the official statements about the trip, Clerk put this extremely important development on his agenda and began to report to Foreign Office. The other nationwide trips of Ghazi had been followed closely by British Embassy officials. However, according to Clerk the first visit to Istanbul in the Republican period was extremely critical and important in terms of bearing different meanings than other trips because Ghazi came to İstanbul as the destroyer of Sultanate and Caliphate and the founder of a new state in Ankara. All the details of this first visit to Istanbul were reported to Foreign Office by George R. Clerk. Besides, the reports include assessments that reveal Clerk’s outlook on Turkey in the year 1927.
