Rıza Bey, one day came across a British ambassador who was going to Saray-
burnu; he untied the horses drawing the ambassador's cart and tied himself
in their place. That was the shocking extent of the anglophilia of those syco-
phants.
Nevertheless, when the Committee of Union and Progress finally came
into power, it failed to secure the support it expected from Britain. Because
the real intent of the British had been supporting the opposition and radical
anti-state movements to create an atmosphere of conflict around the empire,
which, to a large extent, it achieved.
Dervish Vahdeti and the 31 March Incident
Dervish Vahdeti, who was one of the significant leaders of the 31 March
Incident, was in truth a Cypriot spy working for the British. Prior to the ri-
ot, he was making provocative claims like 'religion was being lost' in his news-
paper Volkan. It should be noted that Grand Vizier 'English' Kamil Pasha was
also a writer at the same paper. During the riot, Vahdeti gave long, fiery
speeches to provoke people in the Sultanahmet Square. Chanting the slogan
'we want sharia', Vahdeti split the country into two and caused a military coup.
The truth is, he had never been a religious person.
