In “Kathimerini” of October 26, 1922, the results of the investigation of the perpetrators of the Asia Minor catastrophe and the indictment against the soldiers and politicians who were detained and were to be brought to justice occupied a dominant place.
“The Revolutionary Committee,” the newspaper wrote, “yesterday was presented with the conclusion of the investigation on the defeat in Asia Minor, signed by the chairman of the investigative committee, Mr. T. Pangalos.” The following is a summary of the submitted conclusion, as reported by the press service of the Revolutionary Committee. In accordance with this, the following indictment was read out to the defendant: “You are charged with the fact that from November 1, 1920, and until August 26, 1922, in deciding after the United Ministers about an act of treason, you deliberately and deliberately supported the invasion of foreign troops, namely the Turkish National Army to the territory of the Kingdom, i.e. to the country of Asia Minor occupied by Greece, transferring cities, fortresses, most of the army and the most valuable war material to this enemy, etc. in the following ways.”
There are also extensive references to the dangerous situation that developed in Constantinople under Allied occupation after the actions of the Kemal administration: “The first measures taken under the new Turkish administration prove the decision to undermine the Allied power in all directions and weaken the control that the Allies exercise in the city. If persistence in the application of these measures is allowed, the entire economic life of the city will be in jeopardy. Already as a result of the introduction of the new tariff, the prices of bread and all essentials have doubled.”
“Allied commissars are working in perfect harmony with each other,” the newspaper wrote, since “the enormity of the situation is recognized by all.” Regarding Kemal’s side, Hamit Weiss gave “a clarification on the Turkish message requesting the withdrawal of the allied forces from Constantinople”, stating that “it is a request” that “gives the allies the opportunity to leave without violating their dignity”.
