Öz: Bu çalışmanın amacı Mark Sykes’ın seyyah olarak deneyimlerini ve bunların Britanya ve Ortadoğu’ya yönelik tutumunu nasıl şekillendirdiğini incelemek, 1916 tarihli Sykes-Picot Antlaşması’yla Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun bölünmesindeki rolüyle bilinen Sykes’ın Ortadoğu’ya dair ilk gözlemlerini ve Osmanlı-İngiliz ilişkileriyle bağı ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaçla Sykes’ın kişisel notları ve yayınları içerdikleri farklar karşılaştırılacak, böylece farklı metinlerinde Sykes’ın Oryantalist düşünce yapısı ve Ortadoğu’ya dair ilk izlenimlerini nasıl belirdiğini kavramak mümkün olacaktır. Arşiv kaynaklarından da yararlanan bu çalışma, Sykes’ın fikirlerinin nasıl geliştiğini ve Ortadoğu’nun siyasi gündemini ne tür bir biçimlendirici rol oynadığını anlamamıza yardımcı olacaktır
