                                        European Plots















                     T         he British deep state knew that Istanbul was an important center



                               that effectively disturbed balances in Europe. They also believed
                               that as long as the Turks controlled it, they would continue to dis-

                     rupt their plans, and so they wanted to remove Istanbul, the Straits and

                     Thrace from the possession of the Turks. They were convinced that the Turk-
                     ish administration without Istanbul would no longer have a say in matters
                     concerning Europe.


                          However, the British deep state has always chosen to hide its plans to dis-

                     nority rights. They spread the wrong notion to the British public that the Ot-

                     toman Empire was being ruthless to its Christian subjects, and that Arme-
                     nians, Greeks, Assyrians and Christian Arabs in the Ottoman lands were un-

                     der threat. They built these claims on the false allegations that Christians
                     were the real owners of Anatolia and that the Turks had taken it by force.

                     For instance, a member of Parliament Viscount James Bryce said during a
                     speech at the House of Lords, "Asia Minor, Syria, Armenia, and Arabia—have

                     been the homes of ancient civilisations; some of them enjoyed under the Gov-
