The government and Syrian National Congress rejected the decisions of the San Remo conference and informed the Allied States its decision between 13 -21 May 1920, and the voices were rising in Syria for an alliance with Kemal Ataturk in Turkey or the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, meetings were held in Aleppo between the Minister of War Yusuf al-Azmeh and Kamal Ataturk for supporting the Syrians in their struggle against France. However, these meetings did not lead to a result because Ataturk was using the Syrians to improve the terms of his negotiations with the French, he turned his back to the Syrians and concluded an agreement with France known as the Treaty of Ankara in 1921, which included a waiver of the French occupation authority from the northern Syrian territories and withdrawal of the French army of them, and hand them over to the authority of Turkish.
