The Treaty of Ankara (or the Accord of Ankara; Franklin-Bouillon Agreement; Franco-Turkish Agreement of Ankara) was signed on October 20, 1921 between France and Turkish revolutionaries (Turkish Grand National Assembly) of Turkey. The signatories were French diplomat Henri Franklin-Bouillon and the foreign minister, Yusuf Kemal Bey. Based on the terms of the agreement, the French acknowledged the end of the Cilicia War, however other French units in Turkey were not affected, in return for economic concessions from Turkey. In return, the Turkish government acknowledged French imperial sovereignty over French Mandate of Syria. This annulment of French claims over Turkish land was officially recognised in the Armistice of Mudanya.
