Letters from Cilicia by Alice Keep Clark 1924. Northwestern University Libraries Digitized Collection. Catalogue record.

 

The author was an American, Near East Relief worker 1919-1920, working in Hadjin, Turkey, at the time of the Allied occupation. The plan was to carry on relief largely in “occupied” territory where the Allies were in control, but in time it proved to be less dangerous in the “unoccupied” regions. Hadjin (Adana Province), where most of the population were Armenian, suffered a Turkish Nationalist siege of the city in 1920, and subsequently fell.
