ue 121 momentum was now on the nationalists side a plot by a loyalist ottoman governor and a british intelligence officer to arrest kemal before the sivas congress led to the cutting of all ties with the ottoman government until a new election would be held in the lower house of parliament the chamber of deputies in october 1919 the last ottoman governor loyal to constantinople fled his province fearing the outbreak of hostilities all british troops stationed in the black sea coast and kütahya were evacuated damat ferid pasha resigned and the sultan replaced him with a general with nationalist credentials ali rıza pasha 122 on 16 october 1919 ali rıza and the nationalists held negotiations in amasya they agreed in the amasya protocol that an election would be called for the ottoman parliament to establish national unity by upholding the resolutions made in the sivas congress including the national pact by october 1919 the ottoman government only held de facto control over constantinople the rest of the ottoman empire was loyal to kemal s movement to resist a partition of anatolia and thrace within a few months mustafa kemal went from general inspector of the ninth army to a renegade military commander discharged for insubordination to leading a homegrown anti entente movement that overthrew a government and driven it into resistance 123 last ottoman parliament

message fire caused by the british bombardment in mudanya 6 july 1920 in december 1919 an election was held for the ottoman parliament with polls only open in unoccupied anatolia and thrace it was boycotted by ottoman greeks ottoman armenians and the freedom and accord party resulting in groups associated with the turkish nationalist movement winning including the a rmhc 124 125 the nationalists obvious links to the cup made the election especially polarizing and voter intimidation and ballot box stuffing in favor of the kemalists were regular occurrences in rural provinces 125 this controversy led to many of the nationalist mps organizing the national salvation group separate from kemal s movement which risked the nationalist movement splitting in two 126 mustafa kemal was elected an mp from erzurum but he expected the allies neither to accept the harbord report nor to respect his parliamentary immunity if he went to the ottoman capital hence he remained in anatolia mustafa kemal and the committee of representation moved from sivas to ankara so that he could keep in touch with as many deputies as possible as they traveled to constantinople to attend the parliament though ali rıza pasha called the election as per the amasya protocol to keep unity between the istanbul government and ankara government he was wrong to think the election could bring him any legitimacy the ottoman parliament was under the de facto control of the british battalion stationed at constantinople and any decisions by the parliament had to have the signatures of both ali rıza pasha and the battalion s commanding officer the only laws that passed were those acceptable to or specifically ordered by the british nevertheless the war ministry established contact with national forces fighting the greeks sending supplies arms and aide to militia 127 on 12 january 1920 the last session of the chamber of deputies met in the capital first the sultan s speech was presented and then a telegram from mustafa kemal manifesting the claim that the rightful government of turkey was in ankara in the name of the committee of representation on 28 january the mps from both sides of the aisle secretly met to endorse the national pact as a peace settlement 128 they added to the points passed in sivas calling for plebiscites to be held in west thrace batum kars and ardahan and arab lands on whether to stay in the empire or not 129 proposals were also made to elect kemal president of the chamber however this was deferred in the certain knowledge that the british would prorogue the chamber the chamber of deputies would be forcefully dissolved for passing the national pact anyway the national pact solidified nationalist interests which were in conflict with the allied plans from february to april leaders of britain france and italy met in london to discuss the partitioning of the ottoman empire and the crisis in anatolia the british began to sense that the elected ottoman government was under kemalist influence and if left unchecked the entente could once again find themselves at war with the empire the ottoman government was not doing all that it could to suppress the nationalists mustafa kemal manufactured a crisis to pressure the istanbul government to pick a side by deploying kuva yi milliye towards i̇zmit the british concerned about the security of the bosporus strait demanded ali rıza pasha to reassert control over the area to which he responded with his resignation to the sultan jurisdictional conflict march 1920 january 1921 this section

decapitation of the istanbul government main article occupation of constantinople british occupation troops marching in istanbul s pera beyoğlu quarter as they were negotiating the partition of the ottoman empire the allies were growing increasingly concerned about the turkish national movement to this end the allied occupational authorities in istanbul began to plan a raid to arrest nationalist politicians and journalists along with occupying military and police installations and government buildings on 16 march 1920 the coup was carried out several royal navy warships were anchored in the galata bridge to support british forces including the indian army while they carried out the arrests and occupied several government buildings in the early hours of the morning 130 an indian army

turkish national movement and former members of the cup 150 arrested turkish politicians accused of war crimes were interned in malta and became known as the malta exiles 130 mustafa kemal was ready for this move he warned all the nationalist organisations that there would be misleading declarations from the capital he warned that the only way to counter allied movements was to organise protests he declared today the turkish nation is called to defend its capacity for civilization its right to life and independence its entire future on 18 march the chamber of deputies declared that it was unacceptable to arrest five of its members 131 on 11 april the sultan mehmed vi dissolve the parliament under pressure from the allies 132 declaring the end of constitutional monarchy and a return to absolutism university students were forbidden from joining political associations inside and outside the classroom 131 with the lower elected chamber of deputies shuttered the constitution terminated

salih hulusi pasha declared mustafa kemal s struggle legitimate and resigned after less than a month in office in his place damat ferid pasha returned to the premiership the sublime porte s decapitation by the entente allowed mustafa kemal to consolidate his position as the sole leader of turkish resistance against the allies and to that end made him the legitimate representative of the turkish people 130 promulgation of the grand national assembly main article government of the grand national assembly see also grand national assembly of turkey opening of the grand national assembly the strong measures taken against the nationalists by the allies in march 1920 began a distinct new phase of the conflict mustafa kemal sent a note to the governors and force commanders asking them to conduct elections to provide delegates for a new parliament to represent the ottoman turkish people which would convene in ankara with the proclamation of the counter government kemal would then ask the sultan to accept its authority 133 mustafa kemal appealed to the islamic world asking for help to make sure that everyone knew he was still fighting in the name of the sultan who was also the caliph he stated he wanted to free the caliph from the allies he found an ally in the khilafat movement of british india where indians protested britain s planned dismemberment of turkey 134 135 136 a committee was also started for sending funds to help the soon to be proclaimed ankara government of mustafa kemal 137 a flood of supporters moved to ankara just ahead of the allied dragnets included among them were halide edip and abdülhak adnan adıvar mustafa i̇smet pasha i̇nönü mustafa fevzi pasha çakmak 138 many of kemal s allies in the ministry of war and celalettin arif the president of the now shuttered chamber of deputies celaleddin arif s desertion of the capital was of great significance as he declared that the ottoman parliament had been dissolved illegally zones of control held by the ankara government and the allies istanbul contemptuously referred to anyone who supported the nationalist movement led by mustafa kemal as kemalî s or kemalci s kemalî was used pejoratively as a reference to the celalî rebels the foreign press used the term kemalists interchangeably with the word nationalists to denote the ankara based movement and its armed strength some 100 members of the chamber of deputies were able to escape the allied roundup and joined 190 deputies elected in march 1920 turkish revolutionaries announced the establishment of a new parliament in ankara known as the

was formally used as the name of the country 133 on 23 april the assembly assuming full governmental powers gathered for the first time electing mustafa kemal its first speaker and prime minister 139 hoping to undermine the nationalist movement mehmed vi issued a fatwa to qualify the turkish revolutionaries as infidels calling for the death of its leaders 140 the fatwa stated that true believers should not go along with the nationalist movement as they committed apostasy the mufti of ankara rifat börekçi issued a simultaneous fatwa declaring that the caliphate was under the control of the entente and the ferid pasha government 141 in this text the nationalist movement s goal was stated as freeing the sultanate and the caliphate from its enemies in reaction to the desertion of several prominent figures to the nationalist movement ferid pasha ordered halide edip ali fuat and mustafa kemal to be sentenced to death in absentia for treason 142 clashes in i̇zmit this section needs more

the sultan raised 4 000 soldiers known as the kuva yi inzibatiye caliphate army to combat the nationalists then using money from the allies another force about 2 000 strong from non muslim inhabitants were initially deployed in i̇znik the sultan s government sent the forces under the name of the caliphate army to the revolutionaries to arouse counterrevolutionary sympathy 144 the british being skeptical of how formidable these insurgents were decided to use irregular power to counteract the revolutionaries the nationalist forces were distributed all around turkey so many smaller units were dispatched to face them in i̇zmit there were two battalions of the british army these units were to be used to rout the partisans under the command of ali fuat and refet pasha execution of a kemalist

not have the unwavering support of his own men and allies meanwhile the rest of these forces withdrew behind the british lines which held their position for now istanbul was out of ankara s grasp the clash outside i̇zmit brought serious consequences british troops attacked the nationalists and the royal air force bombed their positions this caused nationalist forces to retreat temporarily to more secure locations the british commander in turkey general george milne asked for reinforcements this led to a study to determine what would be required to defeat the turkish nationalists the report signed by french field marshal ferdinand foch concluded that 27 divisions were necessary but the british army did not have 27 divisions to spare also a deployment of this size could have disastrous political consequences back home world war i had just ended and the british public would not support another lengthy and costly expedition the british accepted the fact that a nationalist movement
