| Summary: | Although many European countries took sides during the Spanish Civil War, Turkey adopted the
policy of “non-intervention”. In this context, Turkey forbid selling weapons to the parties in the Civil War and the Turkish civilains to join the war. Although Turkey was negatively affected by
the Civil War particularly in terms of domestic and foreign politics, she demanded that the Civil
War should be settled down through peaceful ways in accordance with her policy of “peace at
home peace in the world”. Although the Civil War progressed against the Republicans, Turkey
officially recognised the elected government of The Republicans during
the Civil War. Only after the Civil War ended and it was recognised internationally, Turkey
recognised the Nationalist government and sent diplomatic representative, which was a
mutual act.
As part of this policy, Turkey was closely concerned with the humanitarian side of the
Civil War. In case of the most serious issue of the Civil War, that is the refugees, she decided
to solve the problem of the Spanish Nationalist refugees in Madrid that took refuge in Turkey
in line with her political tradition and took steps in the direction of bringing them to Turkey
in 1937. In 1938, when the Republican Government interfered with the Spanish Nationalist
Refugees that took refuge in Turkey, she showed numerous reactions.
Although Turkey officially recognised the elected Republican Government, during
the Civil War, when needed, she offered humanitarian help to both the Nationalist and the
Republican sides. Although the Turkish media supported both sides, in line with Turkish
foreign policy, it defended the idea that the Spanish domestic affairs should not be interfered
with, the process of solution should be left to the Spanish people themselves and the problem
should be solved peacefully. |
