got their instructions, they would sit down at the table, fully aware of the lever-

ages the Turks had. Rumbold, head of the British delegation at Lausanne, was
happily announcing this to his friend Lancelot Oliphant in the Foreign Of-

The information we obtained at the psychological moments from secret sources
was invaluable to us, and put us in the position of a man who is playing

To overcome the impasse, İsmet İnönü proposed a new way. A 'referen-
dum' could be held in the region so that Kurdish people could make their de-

cision. However, knowing for certain that the outcome would be against
Britain, Lord Curzon refused the proposal. Historian Sevtap Demirel explains

why Lord Curzon rejected the idea:
