Later on, this fire was on the agenda of Turkish and Greek public opinion. Upon these developments, the name of Tatavla was changed to “Kurtuluş” by the Turkish side. There are almost no publications on this fire in the literature. For this reason, this fire and the work written by Aytek Soner Alpan on Tatavla were criticised.}, number={25}, publisher={Mehmet Ali YOLCU}
