The Breakdown of the Ottoman Empire


Eftim Baba, Turkey ->
After the armistice the Patriarchat of Fener proclaimed the adhesion of the Orthodox Turks to Greece; this decision had been submitted to us but I refused to accept it, considering it as an act of insurrection. I declared the separation of the Orthodox Turks from the Greek Church in 1919 and I participated in the revolution of Kemal Pasha.

Hüseyin Djahid (Cahid), Turkey ->
was made a prisoner by the Allies and was interned on the Malta island with the intention to withdraw the leaders from Turkey who could make difficulties for the separation of the country. He returned to his country in 1921.

Husrew Bey Ridvanbeyaglu, Turkey and Iran ->
was elected deputy of Trebizond in the last Ottoman Cabinet and was dethroned by the Allied armies. He retired to Anatolia and was elected deputy by the grand National Assembly in Ankara. He fell in the hands of the reactionaries in Bolou, but could escape and he was sent by the grand National Assembly as delegate to the conference of London, under the Presidency of the late Bekir Sami Bey in 1921.
