Abstract :Syria-Turkey relations have a long history. The fact that both states are located in the Middle East and have borders with each other has made diplomatic relations inevitable. In this article, Turkey-Syria relations are analysed objectively, based on history, and the events that deeply affected the relations of the two states are included. After Syria had been under Ottoman rule for a long time, it came under the French mandate. After being governed under the French mandate for a long time, it gained its independence as a result of great efforts and got rid of the French mandate. In this process, there were many developments in the diplomatic field between the two states, and from time to time tensions and good developments were achieved. In Turkey-Syria relations, the decisions and attitudes of states and structures such as Britain, France and the League of Nations have been decisive. The Hatay issue has been a major turning point in Turkey-Syria relations. In the article, the process starting from the interaction of the two nations a long time ago until the World War II is mentioned. In this context, Lausanne, Mudros, Mudanya, World War I, Sanjak Status and the Hatay problem were included and Turkey-Syria relations were tried to be explained.Keywords : Türkiye, Suriye, Fransa, Milletler Cemiyeti, Hatay
