The Pious Turkish People Rejected
the British Hegemony
British leaders, reeling from the shock of the Turkish victory at Lausanne,
made several comments to feel better about their loss, while the British deep
state took every opportunity to state its dream that Turkey would eventually
be destroyed even if it hadn't happened at Lausanne.
Lord Curzon, the British Foreign Secretary who headed the Lausanne talks
for a long time, sent an instruction to Paris and Rome ambassadors of Britain
only nine days after the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne. He stated that
Turkey was a small country and that the Allies shouldn't send ambassadors to
Turkey, as a low-level officer like an acting ambassador would be more ap-
propriate. 440
Only 21 days after the treaty was signed at Lausanne, Sir Nevile Meyrick
Henderson, the British diplomat in Istanbul, made the following comment in
his letter sent to London:
Turkey has lost land, grown poor and depopulated. It would be more than nec-
essary to send an ambassador to an insignificant country like Turkey in terms
of her size, wealth and population… If the current Turkish government can-
not persist – I believe they won't last long – then the Turkish Government will
come to that city where the British Embassy is located. It will inevitably drift
with our support. In this setting of anarchy the current government will topple
down and another government that will ally with us shall come to power. 441
There was, of course a reason why Henderson sound-
ed so confident. The British deep state had success-
fully applied the same strategy on many countries
before. And as Henderson pointed out, those
countries eventually began to move in the di-
rection shown by the British deep state. How-
ever, Henderson wasn't taking into account the
British Diplomat, Nevile unshakable determination and faith of Mustafa
Meyrick Henderson Kemal Atatürk and the Turkish people. No one
had the power to put the Turkish state into shackles
