(12) The cognitive map of
Syrian Arab nationalism has been shaped as anti-Turkish and this feeling
has intensified over the question of the Sanjak of Alexandretta, over
which the Syrian side continued to claim sovereignty rights, despite the
fact that it remained in Turkish territory. When Disraeli gained secret cabinet agreement
for military action to seize Cyprus or Alexandretta, Derby resigned and
Salisbury took his place. Since Arsuzi was one
of the leaders of the Arab community in Alexandretta who struggled to
keep it as a part of Arab Syria, after annexation he became one of the
refugees who moved south to Syria, embittered for the rest of his life
by the loss of his homeland. |
