Admiral F. de Robeck: … Sultan asked the British authorities to stop the nationalists
by using force. … The Grand Vizier and the Minister of Internal Affairs accept the
severity of the situation and ask an Allied permission to suppress the insurgency…
Grand Vizier Ferid Pasha's government declared war on the nationalists and decided
that nationalists cannot be reasoned with… Although the British played the main role
in the fight against the Turks, Britain is in a better position today in Turkish newspa-
pers and even in nationalist papers. 198
A speech on American radio: …Mustafa Kemal told me: 'Our government was weak-
ened through foreign plots and interventions. It is a lie that the nationalists received
aid from the British and the French. British capital is destroying Turkey. We know that
Adil Bey, the former President of the Society of the Friends of England, who is now in
England, received 200,000 sterling, while Konya governor got 150,000 sterling and
possibly Ankara governor got a similar amount, as well.' 199
Mr. Ryan's report: … Since the nationalist forces [in Turkey] were getting stronger, it
was requested that a government force of 40,000 troops be used against the national-
ists. Grand Vizier immediately accepted this request. 200
During the meeting in Villa Belle: … Lloyd George said 'Mustafa Kemal's success
might rub on the Arabs, for this reason he definitely has to be crushed… We improved
Greek's fight abilities, and diminished Turks. 201 [Noble Turkish nation is above such
statements.]
