Kaç Kaç incident

The Kaç Kaç incident (Turkish: Kaç Kaç olayı, Flee Flee! incident, Kaç literally means escape) is a popular phrase referring to the escape of 40,000 Turkish civilians from Çukurova during the Franco-Turkish War in 1920. French-Armenian airplanes bombed the fleeing population and the Belemedik hospital. Çukurova (Cilicia in antiquity) is a loosely defined region in southern Turkey which covers most of the modern Turkish provinces of Mersin, Adana, Osmaniye, and Hatay.
