The Turkish National Movement led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the Kemalists ("supporters of Atatürk") did not agree to the Treaty of Sèvres. After they fought the Franco-Turkish War, France and Turkey signed the Treaty of Ankara in 1921. This treaty meant that the border between French-controlled Syria and the new Republic of Turkey was moved further south than had been agreed in the Treaty of Sèvres. Turkey and France both tried to make good relations with tribes in the border area, hoping that they would help to get control over the land.
