1934 Trakya Olaylarını Dönemin Basınından Çerçeveleme Yöntemi ile Yeniden Okumak
Re-reading the 1934 Thrace Events from the Press of the Period with the Framing Method

Summary/Abstract: This study is on the historical reading of the transfer of the 1934 Thrace events to the newspaper news of the period. As a result of the Turkification policies in the nation-state building process, the Settlement Law of 2510 was adopted on 14 June 1934 within the scope of the policy of transition to a monolingual society. The expected result from this Law is concentrated in two different regions; however, it was designed to ensure that the population, far from Turkish culture, migrated to the regions where the Turks were more numerous. In order to eliminate possible threats on the borderlines of Thrace and Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia regions, which were seen as a security vulnerability by the Turkish government in this period, strengthening works were started on the fragile population structure of these areas. As a result, revealing the motives and the involvement of the events that caused thousand of people to become victims in a very short time determines the purpose and importance of the study. In the research, the framing method was used in the context of cultural analysis. The way in which the issue was framed in the newspapers Akşam, Haber, Hakimiyeti Milliye and Milliyet of the period is worth examining not only with the selected and prominent ones, but also with the eliminated and left behind. It stands out that the facts are hidden with the claim that what happened in the field is exaggerated, and that the conflict from the historical memory extends to the Ottoman Empire.
