Some British Spies That Managed to
Infiltrate the Ottoman Empire
Ármin Vámbéry
Hungarian Ármin Vámbéry, who had multiple titles before his name,
like traveler, explorer, dervish, lecturer, author and international negotiator,
was a professor of oriental languages at the Royal University of Pest. He came
to the Ottoman Empire to study Turkology in Central Asia and spied on the
Ottoman Sultans for the British deep state. He was raised Jewish, but later con-
verted twice. He first became a Christian, then a Muslim. He spoke five lan-
guages.
Despite having lost his faith at a young age, he disguised himself as a
dervish traveling around Central Asia. He subscribed to Darwinist/material-
ist thinking. In 1857, he arrived at Istanbul and began giving private lessons
at the Palace. He was constantly by the side of Sultan Abdul Hamid II and
gave private French lessons to Midhat Pasha. He was the only person that
could gain the trust of Abdul Hamid II in a very short amount of time.
According to Richard Norton-Taylor of The Guardian, 'His putative use-
fulness for the British was that he had the ear of the sultan of Turkey, "your
friend in Constantinople", as his controller in London described him.' 141
Ármin Vámbéry became a spy
for the British deep state after
he gained the trust of Abdul
Hamid II and earned a resi-
dence in the Palace.
