The Treaty of Ankara (or Franklin-Bouillon Agreement or Franco-Turkish Agreement of Ankara , Turkish : Ankara Anlaşması ) was signed on October 20, 1921 between France and the government set up by the Turkish National Assembly under Mustafa Kemal Ataturk . The treaty ended the Franco-Turkish conflict over Cilicia .
Representatives of their governments were the French diplomat Henry Franklin-Bouillon and the Turkish Foreign Minister Yusuf Kemal Bey . The agreement ended the fighting of the Franco-Turkish conflict, although some French troops still remained in Turkey. Turkey had to make economic concessions and recognized French rule over the former Ottoman Syria . The treaty was deposited in the League of Nations Treaty Series on August 30, 1926.
France's surrender of Turkish territory was later officially written down in the Mudanya Armistice . In terms of international law, the treaty meant a de facto recognition of the new Turkish government by France at the expense of the de jure government of Sultan Mehmed VI.
