1920 Yazında Sevr Antlaşması’nı Osmanlı Hükümeti’ne imzalatmayı başaran İtilaf
Abstract
Allied powers who had succeeded in getting Treaty of Sevres signed to OttomanGovernment in the summer of 1920 demanded that acceptance of the treaty by Ankaragovernment be procured, as well. It had been seen that Damat Ferit Pasha government had notobtained any result from rigoristic policy which had been conducted over Anatolia by DamatFerit Pasha government and, furthermore, gaining ground of Greek Army across Anatoliahad been stopped by nationalists. In this case, Allied Powers turned towards a new quest in order to be able to get the treaty accepted to the nationalists, too. By putting the pressure onSultan Vahdettin (Mehmed VI), Allied Powers procured the resignation of Damat Ferit Pashagovernment and, instead, that Tevfik Pasha government be formed. Put into power in order tocompromise Istanbul-Anatolia reconciliation, Tevfik Pasha Government sended a commiteewhich had been established under the chairmanship of Ahmet İzzet Pasha to Anatolia on3rd December, 1920. The commitee met with Ankara committee on 5th December in Bilecik.Through a manoeuvre by Mustafa Kemal Pasha, the committee was taken to Ankara anddetained. Thus, reconciliation effort of İstanbul with Anatolia was made unsuccessful fromthe very beginning. When the committee was in Ankara, while Ankara press was makingnews in line with Mustafa Kemal’s thoughts, İstanbul press was giving rumour-based newswhich did not reflect the truth. The committee returned in a quiet and retiring way to İstanbulduring the days of London Conference.
