Mr. Hohler: … I don't care about the situation of the KURDS AND ARME-

NIANS. We pay attention to the Kurdish problem only because of
Mesopotamia. On the other hand, Wilson is scaring me, his agents are always

making mistakes. But he [Noel] is another fanatic … I agree with you that
the BORDERS OF ARMENIA AND KURDISTAN ARE NOT DEFINITE.
KURDISH PROBLEM exists to create a satisfactory border in

Mesopotamia… 212

Admiral F. de Robeck: … Mr. Hohler talked to Kurdish leader Sheikh Said
Abdülkadir Pasha for the Kurdish problem. Kurds have pinned their hopes
on the British. In the meantime, Mustafa Kemal is getting more dangerous.

Forces are ready to spend whatever is necessary to use the Kurds against
Mustafa Kemal. 213

Meeting notes: … Kurdish tribes will be placed under British and French pro-

tection, NO TURK will be left at all in KURDISTAN. It will be decided if it
is going to be a SINGLE KURDISH STATE or multiple small KURDISH

STATES. Weapons will be supplied to Armenians via Americans… A secret
organization was set up in Istanbul and is declaring nationalists traitors… 214

Admiral F. de Robeck: … Kurdistan must detach from Turkey completely
and gain autonomy. We can reconcile the Kurdish and Armenian interests.

Sayyid Abdülkadir, the head of the Kurdish club in Istanbul and Şerif Pasha,
the Kurdish delegate in Paris, are at your service. 215

Admiral F. de Robeck: … [Grand Vizier] Damad Ferid came to me and said,

'According to the peace treaty, Kurds will have their separate state. Kurdish
leaders don't like Mustafa Kemal. You hate Mustafa Kemal because he does-
n't accept the treaty you prepared. Then let's all together, mobilize Kurds

against Mustafa Kemal.' 216
