Description

Fahreddin Reşad Bey (1867–1943) – Mehmed Nâbi Bey (1868–1924), Editors.

[Trablusgarp, Bingazi ve Cezayir-i isna-aşer Meseleleri / Report on Tripolitania, Benghazi and Dodecanese Islands]

Istanbul: Matbaa-yi âmire 1334 [1918].

The introduction, authored by Fahreddin Reşad Bey (1867–1943) and Mehmed Nâbi Bey (1868–1924), provides an account in Ottoman Turkish of Libya’s history and its relationship with the Ottoman Empire. It begins with the Siege of Tripoli in 1553, when the Ottomans gained control of the territory from the Knights Hospitaller, and continues through to the events of the Italo-Turkish War in Libya during 1911 and 1912. The narrative also notes the occupation of the Dodecanese islands in the Aegean Sea by Italian forces during the conflict.

This introduction is followed by a French transcription of the peace treaty and procès verbal between the Ottoman Empire and Italy, signed in Lausanne on October 15, 1912, known as the Treaty of Ouchy. In this document, the Ottomans and Italians determine the ownership of Libya and the Dodecanese Islands. The war officially concluded three days later, which is also the date of the last procès verbal included in this publication.
