Özet:

 The study aims to determine how the Greeks occupation of Izmir at the end of World War I was received in the Balıkesir press. The Turkish nation, which had partially calmed down with the Wilsonian principles before the occupation of Izmir, was seriously shaken by the decisions of the Paris Peace Treaty. On 15 May 1919, when the Greeks set foot in Izmir for the purpose of occupation, they came face to face with the stark reality and understood that they would not receive any benefit or help from the Sultan and the Istanbul Government. Understanding this situation correctly, the Turkish nation, understanding that the occupation that started in Izmir would continue, quickly organised itself and established associations such as Müdafafa-i Hukuk or Redd-i İlhak throughout the country. In this way, they explained to the international community that the occupations were carried out unjustly and unlawfully through legal means, and made preparations for armed resistance, that is, the Kuva-yı Milliye. Such a nationwide movement was also strongly supported by the press. İzmire Doğru, published during the period of the National Struggle, is one of these newspapers. In addition to this newspaper, the well-established newspapers of Balıkesir such as Karesi Türk Dili and Balıkesir Postası carried one of the important turning points of Turkish history such as the occupation of İzmir to their pages through poems, news, commemorative news and memoirs they published. Based on this information, in this study, these news and memoirs were classified and analysed in the ways indicated by the content, and the stance of the Balıkesir press against the occupation of Izmir was revealed.

 Çalışma, I. Dünya Savaşının sonunda Yunanlıların İzmiri işgal edişinin Balıkesir basınında nasıl karşılık bulduğunun tespit edilmesini amaçlamaktadır. İzmirin işgalinden önce Wilson ilkeleriyle kısmen sakinleyen Türk milleti, Paris Barış Antlaşmasının kararlarıyla ciddi anlamda sarsılmıştır. 15 Mayıs 1919da Yunanlıların İzmire işgal amacıyla ayak basmasıyla yalın gerçekle burun buruna gelmiş, Padişah ve İstanbul Hükümetinden kendilerine herhangi bir fayda veya yardım gelmeyeceğini anlamıştır. Bu durumu doğru bir şekilde kavrayan Türk milleti, İzmirde başlayan işgalin devamının geleceğini anlayarak hızla örgütlenmiş, yurt genelinde Müdafaa-i Hukuk veya Redd-i İlhak gibi cemiyetler kurmuştur. Bu şekilde işgallerin haksız ve hukuksuz yollardan gerçekleştirildiğini uluslararası camiaya hukuk yoluyla anlatmış hem de silahlı direnişin yani Kuva-yı Milliyenin hazırlıklarını yapmıştır. Yurt çapında böyle geniş bir hareket, basın tarafından da sıkı bir şekilde desteklenmiştir. Millî Mücadele döneminde çıkan İzmire Doğru da bu gazetelerden biridir. Bu gazeteye ilaveten Balıkesirin köklü gazeteleri olan Karesi Türk Dili ve Balıkesir Postası gibi gazeteler de yayımladıkları şiirler, haberler, anma haberleri ve hatıratlar yoluyla İzmirin işgali gibi Türk tarihinin önemli dönüm noktalarından birini sayfalarına taşımışlardır. Bu bilgiden hareketle, çalışmada bu haberler, hatıratlar içeriğin işaret ettiği şekillerde tasnif edilerek incelenmiş, Balıkesir basınının İzmirin işgali karşısındaki duruşu ortaya konmuştur.
