...It is located in southeastern Turkey and is the capital of the province of the same name. It has a population of 716,000 (1994). It was formerly called Aynṭāb or Antep. It is a strategically important transportation point connecting Anatolia with Syria and Mesopotamia, and the ruling powers there changed dramatically, including Byzantines, Armenians, Crusaders, Turks, and Arabs, until it became part of the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. During the national liberation movement after World War I, the citizen army fought a long resistance against the French invading forces, and for this achievement, the city of Antep was awarded the title of "Ghazi (Holy Warrior)" by the Turkish Grand National Assembly on February 6, 1921.
