The Aintab Sanjak (Turkish: Ayntab Sancağı) was a prefecture (sanjak) of the Ottoman Empire, located in modern-day Turkey. The city of Aintab was the Sanjak's capital.[1] It had a population of 187,899 in 1914.[2]
History[]
Initially, Aintab was part of Syria according to the Treaty of Sèvres; but the success of Turkish War of Independence, Maraş, Antep and Urfa sanjaks of former Halep Eyalet remained in Turkey after 1921. Also, Antakya and İskenderun kazas of Halep Sanjak in one were separated as the Republic of Hatay in 1938. The republic joined to Turkey in 1939.
