2- Geographically and politically, this vilayet was a part of Anatolia.

The British deep state felt it had to get to Anatolia to benefit from the
Mediterranean trade and saw Mosul as a key that would unlock the

doors.

3- In legal terms, since Mosul is still a part of the Ottoman Empire,
any agreements or treaty Britain signs for Mosul are invalid.

4- In terms of Turkey's trade relations and the safety of the region, it

is imperative that Turkey controls Mosul, which sits at the crossroads
of the paths that join the south of Anatolia.

5- Most importantly, Mosul is a Turkish vilayet. For centuries, it had
existed as a part of a Turkish state, and the Kurds, Arabs and Turks

living on those lands are still a part of the Turkish state. Accepting the

rule of another country is impossible for the indigenous people, who
call themselves Turks.

6- After the end of the war, the Mosul vilayet, like other occupied re-
gions of the Ottoman Empire, was taken from Turks in violation of

the rules of the armistice. For this reason, it is necessary that Mosul,
like other occupied regions, are returned to Turkey. 353

The Lion's Den

After WWI ended, the British deep state was trying to conclude its oc-
cupation of Istanbul and Anatolia through spying operations, and was forg-

ing alliances with other European countries in a bid to solidify its steps to-
wards its greater goals.

Allied Powers, the victors of the world war, shared mandate regions and

oil at the San Remo Conference in Italy on April 25, 1920. Britain obtained
75% of Mosul's oil revenues, and received the control of the oil companies.

France, on the other hand, settled for 25%. Further, British showed the 'elec-
tion' of King Faisal in Iraq as the acceptance of the British mandate by the lo-

cal people and persuaded the League of Nations in San Remo to accept it.
Strangely, although the mandates could be placed only by the League of Na-

tions at the time, at the instigation of Britain, the rule was applied in reverse
order. 354
