British authorities. Abdullah Cevdet maintained that Kurdish people should

have seceded from the Ottoman Empire, and is therefore usually considered
as one of the architects of the idea of 'autonomy for the Southeastern Ana-

tolia'. He was manipulated by the British deep state for its plans to divide the
Ottoman Empire and create conflict between Kurds and Turks.

It was Abdullah Cevdet who started the practice of giving license to
women to work as prostitutes in brothels. About the Battle of Gallipoli, he

shockingly said, 'civilization came to our doorstep, but we turned it back'. 143

During his education at the medical school, following the advice of
Ibrahim Temo and acting together with Hikmet Emin of Konya, İshak Süku-

ti of Diyarbakır and Mehmet Reşid of Caucasus, Abdullah Cevdet founded
the Committee of Ottoman Union, which would later transform into the

Committee of Union and Progress. In 1908, he translated and published Rein-
hart Dozy's two-volume book entitled Essai sur l'Histoire de l'Islamisme in

Egypt, which was then under the control of the British evolutionist Lord
Cromer. This book, which was full of slanders about our religion and our

beloved Prophet (pbuh), caused a huge uproar in the Ottoman society [our
beloved Prophet (pbuh) is above such slanders]. In the articles he wrote in

the early 1900s, he maintained that the Ottoman Empire should be ruled by
the British and claimed that Britain had the world's most civil and honest gov-

ernment. 144

Journalist and publisher Zekeriya Sertel said that Abdullah Cevdet was a

British spy and he once informed on Sertel and his friends due to a meeting
they had.

Abdullah Cevdet, citing the relationship of British imperialism with

Spain, said: 'since it is going to be inevitable to be incorporated by spheres of
influence that great states are trying to create, it will be expedient to choose

British among the options'. 145

Furthermore, he propagandized the Bahá'í faith supported by the British
(the Kurdistan newspaper was being printed in a Bahá'í printing house sup-

ported by certain circles in Cairo).
