Abstract

Les bulletins de presse étrangers de Gallica, qui a rendu de grands services au ministère français des Affaires étrangères à travers l'histoire, sont considéré très importants. A côté du bulletin quotidien de presse étrangère, à vocation généraliste et à forte fréquence de publication, on trouve des bulletins périodiques, par pays, dont la fréquence de publication est généralement mensuelle. Ces bulletins font l'analyse de la presse étrangère et présentent à l'appui de celle-ci des traductions d'assez larges extraits des journaux d'opinion. Il s'agit naturellement de publications à vocation interne, dont le caractère confidentiel est d'ailleurs parfois précisé. Il s'agit donc d'un outil de travail permettant d'éclairer les agents du corps diplomatique ainsi que le gouvernement de l'état de l'opinion des pays dans lesquels la France possède des intérêts particuliers. Ce corpus est donc d'un grand intérêt, notamment pour des historiens qui pourra facilement y trouver une documentation précieuse dont le grand avantage est d'être déjà traduite en français. Ces documents révèlent aussi le regard que portent les partenaires et adversaires de la France sur sa politique extérieure comme son évolution intérieure. Il donne à voir les questions qui, à l'extérieur de ses frontières, préoccupent la diplomatie française et dévoile enfin le souci permanent qui habite celle-ci quant à l'image de la France à l'étranger. Le processus vécu après l'occupation d'Izmir est également une période importante pour la France d'étendre sa domination en Méditerranée orientale. L'attitude de ces bulletins, notamment dans le processus de libération d'Izmir, est le reflet de la France en politique étrangère. Dans le processus qui a commencé avec l'incendie d'Izmir, les nouvelles du public grec ont été très scrutées dans ces bulletins français. Alors qu’un bulletin a été publiés au cours des huit premiers mois de 1922, ce n'est pas un hasard si un bulletin a été publié chaque mois de septembre à décembre. Des problèmes tels que la libération d'Izmir et l'incendie d'Izmir ont occupé le même public pendant des jours. Dans cette étude, les orientations de la politique grecque sur Izmir déterminées par le public français et les orientations de la politique étrangère de la France à travers Izmir au cours du dernier trimestre de 1922 seront examinées.

REFLECTIONS OF IZMIR NEWS IN THE GREEK PUBLIC ACCORDING TO FRENCH BULLETINS IN THE AUTUMN 1922

Abstract

Foreign press bulletins, which have rendered great services to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of War throughout nation history are considered very important. Alongside the daily foreign press bulletin, with a general purpose and with a high frequency of publication, monthly bulletins are also available. These bulletins analyze the foreign press and present in support of its translations of large extracts from opinion journals. These publications are sometimes open to public sometimes confidential. It is therefore a working tool making it possible to enlighten the agents of the diplomatic corps as well as the government of the state of opinion of the countries in which France has interests. This corpus is therefore of great interest, in particular for historians who can easily find valuable documentation there, the great advantage of which is that it has already been translated into French. These documents also reveal the view that France's partners and adversaries have on its foreign policy as well as its internal development. It shows the questions which, outside its borders, preoccupy French diplomacy and finally reveals the permanent concern which inhabits the latter as regards the image of France abroad. The process experienced after the occupation of İzmir is also an important period for France to expand its dominance in the Eastern Mediterranean. The attitude of these bulletins, especially in the process towards the liberation of Izmir, is the reflection of France in foreign policy. In the process that began with the fire in Izmir, the news of the Greek public was heavily scrutinized in these French bulletins. While one bulletins were published during the first eight months of 1922, it is no coincidence that a newsletter was published each month from September to December. Issues such as the liberation of Izmir and the Fire of Izmir kept the same public busy for days. In this study, orientations of Greek policy on Izmir determined by the French public and France's foreign policy orientations through Izmir in the last quarter of 1922 will be examined.
