Popis: Chapter 3 recounts Nâzım and Vâlâ’s activities in Ankara and Bolu in the spring and summer of 1921. Its earliest sections focus primarily upon broader developments occurring in the region. These include the efforts of ex-Young Turk officials to resurrect their political careers after the Ottoman Empire’s defeat; the Congress of Peoples of the East that was held in Baku, Azerbaijan; and Mustafa Suphi’s ill-fated return to Anatolia. The chapter then focuses more closely upon Nâzım and Vâlâ’s activities, discussing their experiences in Ankara, the months they spent in Bolu working as teachers for the Ankara government, and their subsequent decision to leave Bolu for Tbilisi, Georgia.
