Page 503 - Mastermind: The Truth of the British Deep State Revealed

The elections of the Ottoman Parliament and the subsequent announce-

ment of the National Pact clearly showed how deeply the British deep state
underestimated the Turkish Nation. Self-satisfied European approaches and

the sick mentality of seeing Turks as second-class citizens have always been
the weakest point of the 100-year-old plan of the British deep state. The deep

state wrongly thought that Turkish Nation would surrender to power in a dis-
play of a weak character. It would take a heavy defeat and subsequent re-

moval from Anatolia for the representatives of the deep state to understand
their mistake.

The British weren't uncomfortable with the elections to be held for the
Ottoman Parliament; they were sure that the new Parliament would side with

the Sultan. However, as a result of the election, pro-National Pact figures en-
tered the Parliament. The deep state representatives then insisted that the

Parliament convene in Istanbul, which they hoped would increase the influ-
ence of the Sultan on the Parliament and only decisions that suited the in-

terests of the deep state would be taken. They were wrong again. The free-
dom lovers in the new Parliament established a group and called themselves

Felâh-ı Vatan (Salvation of the Homeland). The National Pact was drawn up
in Ankara and sent to Istanbul for announcement. All these developments

were unacceptable for the occupying Allies.

The Parliament passed its final resolution, which was the announcement
of the National Pact, and then the Parliament closed itself.

The occupation of Istanbul triggered massive rallies across the country
and as a retribution for the arrested Parliament Members, officers of Allied
Powers in Anatolia were arrested. After the occupation, communication with

Istanbul went underground. The railway connections between Anatolia and

Istanbul were cut off around Geyve and Ulukışla, and sending money or valu-
able assets to Istanbul was no longer allowed.

While the occupation of Istanbul led to a nationwide sense of unity and

solidarity, the sycophants of the British deep state were welcoming British
forces with vigor. For this they will always be remembered with shame. Sirke-
