The report of the Committee on Asiatic Turkey, under the chairmanship

of Sir Maurice de Bunsen, issued on June 30, 1915, made the dismemberment

our control and seize anything we want. Our policy is supported by the sharp
edge of the bayonet… As long as we have the caliph under our control, we have

British, at first, didn't believe in the national resistance. Renin, a daily of the

time that was known with its views opposing Atatürk's independence move-

ment, explained it as follows:
