İzmir Limanı ve İzmit Körfezi meseleleri Lozan Konferansı’nın kesilmesi ile birlikte ortaya çıkan bir sorundur. 20 Kasım 1922’de toplanan Lozan Konferansı, Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi Hükümeti ve İtilaf Devletleri arasındaki sorunların birçoğunu çözemeyince 4 Şubat 1923’te kesildi. Lozan Konferansı’nın kesilmesi üzerine güvenlik konusunda bir takım tereddütler yaşayan Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi Hükümeti, 6 Şubat 1923’te İtilaf Devletleri Yüksek Komiserleri ve Hükümetlerine verdiği notada İzmir Limanı ve İzmit Körfezi’nin 1000 tondan daha ağır olan Müttefik Devletler savaş gemilerine kapatıldığını duyurdu. İtilaf Devletleri Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi Hükümeti’nin bu kararını kabul etmek istemediler. Harp gemilerinin çekilmeyeceğini, gemilere saldırılması halinde kendilerini savunacaklarını Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi Hükümeti’ne bildirdiler. Bundan dolayı taraflar arasında bir süre gerginlik yaşandı. Bu konuda Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi Hükümeti yetkilileri ile İtilaf Devletleri yetkilileri arasında yapılan müzakereler neticesinde mesele diplomatik yollardan halledildi. İtilaf Devletleri 1000 tondan ağır harp gemilerini limanlardan çekmeyi kabul ettiler. Nihayet 27 Şubat 1923’te bu gemilerini çektiler.Anahtar Kelimeler: Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi, İtilaf Devletleri, Lozan, İzmir, İzmit, liman, körfez, savaş gemisi. ABSTRACTİzmir Port and İzmit Gulf issues are the problems come out with the interruption of Lausanne Conference.
