The first legislature Isparta mambers of parliament political activities (1920-1923)

Our homeland began to be invaded by the allies with the peace armistice signed on after the World War I. The Turkish nation protested these invasions through meetings and organized by setting up associations. Isparta also participated in the National War by being organized after the invasions. Isparta sent soldiers to the frontlines throughout the country and took an active part in the war especially in Balıkesir and Afyon frontline. The Anatolian community joined the National War under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Pasha as Istanbul government shows weakness against the invasions. Stating that liberation will be possible by the nation's determination and decisiveness, Mustafa Kemal Pasha started operations in this way immediately after he arrived in Anatolia. The Turkish Grand National Assembly became incapable of working with the invasion of Istanbul officially on March 16th, 1920 and completely closed on April 11th, 1920. Thereupon, with the commands of Mustafa Kemal Pasha, the Anatolian community mobilized to open an assembly in Ankara relying totally on nation sovereignty. Based on Mustafa Kemal's notice dated 19th March 1920, works for elections started in Isparta. As a result of the elections done on 6nd April 1920, Mr. Cemal Paşa (Mersinli), Mr. Hacı Tahir Bey (Kucur), Mr. Hafız İbrahim Efendi (Demiralay), Mr. Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi (Özdamar),İsmail Remzi (Berkün) and Mehmet Nadir Efendi (Süldür) were selected as the members of the Great National Assembly. All the First Term Isparta Parliamentarians took part in the First Group in the assembly. They were all in favor of National War and worked actively both before and after they were elected. Isparta participated in the First Assembly, which founded the new Turkish Republic, with six delegates.
