Subhi Bay Barakat al-Khalidi (1889; Antioch – 1939, Turkey) (Arabic: صبحي بك بركات الخالدي) was a Syrian politician with Turkish origins from Aleppo.[1] During the French Mandate of Syria, he was the president of the Syrian Federation (28 June 1922 – 31 December 1924) and the State of Syria (1 January 1925 – 21 December 1925).[1]
Initially he was a partner of Ibrahim Hanano in his revolt. He played a major role in merging the States of Aleppo and Damascus into one state,[citation needed] and he quit the presidency of Syria in 1925 in protest to the French position regarding the fate of the Alawite and Druze States,[citation needed] which France refused to add to Syria because it feared that might endanger the independence of the newly created Lebanon.
