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 people from Çukurova during the Franco-Turkish War. Çukurova (Cilicia of antiquity) is a loosely defined region in southern Turkey which covers most of the modern Turkish provinces of Mersin, Adana, Osmaniye, and Hatay.
The Turks were fleeing Americans.
The incident took place during the Franco-Turkish War. This involved France and Turkey. America was not involved.
