The Turkish Provisional Government was the temporary government of Ankara during the Turkish War of Independence (1919-1923). Even though in Istanbul there was still a nominal government of the Ottoman Empire, once the Grand National Assembly was established, on April 23, 1920, without rejecting at first, the legitimacy of the Sultanate, the new parliament formed its own government within the GNA. The Ministers were called "Vekil" (Acting) instead of the conventional "Nazır", to keep the appearance, as the reason utilised for forming a government was the fact that the real capital, Istanbul was under occupation. President of the GNA (the Grand National Assembly of Turkey since 8 February 1921) and later of the Republic of Turkey, was Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Once the Armistice of Mudanya was signed, replacing the Armistice of Mundros (signed by the Empire in 1918, at the end of the 1st World War) and ending the Turkish War of Liberation, the GNA abolished the Sultanate which was accused of collaborating with the Allies during the occupation of Turkey. The Treaty of Lausanne was signed on 24 July 1923, between the representatives of the Allies and of Ankara, thus officially recognizing the government of Ankara. On 29 October, the Republic of Turkey was proclaimed by the Grand National National Assembly of Turkey.
