Amasya Circular

Amasya Circular

Amasya Circular (Turkish: "Amasya Genelgesi" or "Amasya Tamimi") was a joint circular issued on 22 June 1919 in Amasya by Mustafa Kemal Pasha, Rauf Orbay, Refet Bele and Ali Fuat Cebesoy, also approved by Kazım Karabekir based in Erzurum, that is considered as the first written document putting the Turkish War of Independence in motion.

The circular, distributed across Anatolia, declared Turkey's independence and integrity to be in danger and called for a national conference to be held in Sivas (Sivas Congress) and before that, for a preparatory congress comprising representatives from the eastern provinces of Anatolia to be held in Erzurum in July (Erzurum Congress).
