One of the reasons the French mandate supported Barakat's candidacy was that he was not a Damascus native and his Arabic was not very good (his mother tongue was Turkish), so he shouldn't pose a nationalist threat to the mandate. He resigned from office in December 1925 in protest against the unwillingness of the French to integrate the Alawite and Druze states into the state of Syria.
