Summary/Abstract: It seems getting support from federalist Sandanski group was not important just because a part of an ethnical group in the region making an aligment with İTP. Instead Sandanski was offering the choice of becoming a regional süper-power to the Ottoman State which could not be evaluated as an “Empire” anymore. The “Balkan Federation” option leaded by Ottoman State being proposed by IMRO’s left- wing leader, consisting the chance of a new- foundation in the region, composing of Albania, Macedonia and the Ottomans, was perhaps the only chance for İTP to ensure the Ottomans to survive within the European concept. By leaving the generous, “Balkan Federation” onto the laps of İTP, Yane Sandanski was just demanding to become the legal political leader of an autonomous goverment of united Macedonia. So the aligment between Sandanski’s left- nationalist group and nationalist İTP, can be called as the first “Red Apple Coalition” of contenmporary Turkish politics.
