Abstract

The research deals with the visit of the Emir Abdullah to Turkey in 1937 AD, and its role in consolidating the mutual relations between the Emirate of Transjordan and the Turkish Republic at a critical stage in the region’s political history. The study points out the role of the visit in restoring Arab-Turkish relations to the right track by showing the extent of compatibility in the views between the Arab and Turkish nationalities. The importance of the study lies in its reliance on the primary sources that dealt with the Emir Abdullah’s visit to Turkey in 1937, which Arab and Turkish researchers have not addressed in their studies. The study provided valuable information that would assist the Arab library, which lacks this type of scientific studies, with the necessary information about the visit, and it also provides the Turkish library with valuable information derived from Arab primary sources, which deal with the visit and have not been addressed by Turkish researchers before.  The study concluded with a set of results, the most important of which were: Showing the position of the Turkish President Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who supported the expansion of the Emir Abdullah’s powers by making him king of the Emirate of Transjordan.
