Cilicia

Cilicia, or Cilicie, was a region in southern Anatolia (now Turkey) under French and British occupation in 1918-19. It was declared a French protectorate and Cilicia's first issue, overprinted Turkish stamps, were released in 1919. Different typographic styles of overprint were used including ones reading T.E.O. Cilicie (Territoires Ennemis Occupés).

In 1920, French Offices in Turkey stamps were overprinted O.M.F. Cilicie (Occupation Militaire Française) but by about midyear French forces had retreated out of the region. Cilicia is now part of Turkey.
