Page 379 - Mastermind: The Truth of the British Deep State Revealed

Let us note one more time that the people mentioned here were Ar-

menian insurgents that were operating under the control of the British deep
state. It is true that some of our Armenian citizens were swayed by the in-

fluence of the British deep state and chose a wrong path. However, most of
our Armenian citizens at the time remained loyal to their country, the Ot-

toman Empire, and refused to fall for the lies of the British deep state. These
decent people continued to live in Turkey in peace and safety after the foun-

dation of the Republic of Turkey and are still a valuable part of our country.

Regional Riots before WWI

The British deep state's protection of its interests in Eastern Anatolia
hinged on a strategy of mobilizing some groups from the Armenian com-

munity against the Ottomans. This is a fact confirmed today by many West-
ern and Armenian historians. Initially, the British deep state's efforts failed

because the Armenians had no complaints about the Ottoman administra-
tion, as they had lived for centuries in peace. Therefore, many organizations

set up for provocation purposes failed and disappeared in time. They became
active and sought success in countries other than the Ottoman Empire.

Louise Nalbandian, a modern leading propagandist of the Armenian is-

sue, described the goal of such rebel groups with the following words: "Agi-
tation and Terror were needed to 'elevate the spirit of the (Armenian) people'...

The people were also to be incited against their enemies and were to 'profit' from
the retaliatory actions of these same enemies.... The party aimed at terrorizing

the Ottoman government..." 220 In other words, a group of Armenians that the
British deep state provoked into starting riots in Anatolia chose 'terror' as their

method. Indeed, following the establishment of such rebel groups, riots broke
out across Anatolia and consequently many innocent local people - Turks,

Kurds, Assyrians and Armenians - lost their lives while Anatolia lost its peace.

Armenians were a free people that were mostly occupied with arts and
trade under the Ottoman rule. They enjoyed full religious freedom, had their

own churches, worshipped the way they wanted and had their monasteries

where they trained their own clergy. They didn't have to serve in the military.
In other words, the Ottoman Empire had provided them centuries of un-
