Abstract

Enver Pasha was a statesman who has leaved his mark upon an important period of Turkish history. In the aftermath of the First World War Enver Pasha went to Turkestan, where he died in a battleground against Russian forces on August 4rd 1922. He was buried near the town Balchuvan in Chegan Hill in current-day Tajikistan. Due to incentives of Süleyman Demirel, Turkey gave Enver Pasha his reputation back and brought his remains to Istanbul and reburied in the Hill of the Monument of Freedom. This situation led to new discussions among Turkish elites, in which represented thoughts could be divided into two groups. First group consisting of proponents for the removal of Enver Pasha's remains from Tajikistan to Turkey thinks that this decision of the Turkish Government shows faithfulness and merit for Enver Pasha. Second group consisting of opponents for the removal of Enver Pasha's remains from Tajikistan to Turkey believes that Enver Pasha was not in favour of Turkey's interest. Therefore this initiative by the Turkish Government was considered to be as not just. This research work examines the reflection of the removal of Enver Pasha's remains from Tajikistan to Turkey in the national newspapers such as Hürriyet, Milliyet, Cumhuriyet, Aksam, Yeni Yüzyil, Sabah, Türkiye, Yeni Safak, Zaman, Milli Gazete and Akit using the method of content analysis.
