The council of Ministers met and chose a comision was going to represent the Turkey in the National Assemblies . The comission , having been chosen wit Mr Fethi , President of Assembly went to Cenever after completed their preparations.

Turkey wanted Musul Province in Cenevre to be included in our National borders .The English had wished these land to be given them .England mentioned about the conquest to defence its thesis at Halic and Lozan Conference. This assension never could be accepted . Because during the Truce , The English Armies hadnt invaved the Musul Province. England tried to show the Turks in Musul Province to have constitued a feeble minority .According to the statics arranged by The English Officers , showed that there were several hundreds of Turkish people .The English Governtment , claimed that military of Musul province desired to join in King of Iraq.As if there had been a disagreement in this land,the military showed their requirement by this away chosing Emir Faysal as a Kingdom.Where as , neither the military Süleymaniye flag accepted the votes collected for this purpose nor the military of Kerkuk flag certainly approve Faysals kingdom.Although Lord Curzon in Lozan , Percy Cox in İstanbul showed the military of Musul provinces wishing to be unites with Iraq , both the men didnt confirmed assertion of militarys wishing united with Iraq ? We are going to Cenevre with a huge trust our man purpose is obvious.We want applied to the militarys votes. Because , we are ready to accept the militarys vates.We believe that our offer would be paid attention with an importial and National (Assembly would show the Assemblys decision to the world setting cut just from its justice idea .
England and Turkey expressed their opinions giving and engagement , Turkey defenced that it would be a justice way applied a militarys votes in Musul province,England proposed the Assemblys duty drawn a border pertaining Musul to Iraq. The First sessipn held to consider Musul ıssue on 24 September 1924 by The National Assembly Lord Parmoor, the Ministy of Justice meanwhile Representative of England made the first speech and summarized these :Musul has been a port of Iraq for a long time. The destiny of Musul cant be discussed any longer because it was sold. Now , it is requisite to draw its border , The Representative of Turkeys commission wants to be applied to the Public votes to solve the border ıssue.This border issue cant be found a solution with the Publics vates . This is a military ıssue . But as I said before , Firstly , a decision must be clarified for disagreement . for that reason I suggest that ask is set up neutrals should be censisted and a decision chould be taken by negatiation..
Speaking Mr.Fethi , after he informed that he maintained the right of response about the main points that Lord Parmoor pointed out during his speech , explained Turkish opinion Mr.Fethi about Musul Issue between Turkey and England disagreements reasons as indicating after he explained about the destiny of Musul Province what has the disagreement gone on since the Lozan Conference.
It was sent us to the National Assembly? For working out to the disagreement as England suggested , he explained that a commission which was going to be sent to Musul , immensely , couldnt find an opportunity to understand peoples feelings that the best was to apply a Plebicite He reminded this as a process to remove the disagreements in which the problems appeared. Mr.Fethi complicated his speech after explaining ethnic , strategics , historical and political evidences one by one Lord Parmoor, the representative of England repeated his opinions which he explained in his first speech.
After that speaking Mr. Fethi , indicating that there wasnt any possibility to leave from the base , explaining as the border issue of disagreement , said that : Musul issue was the border and the border issue was Musul issue as well. The issue was that: Was the border going to be ismited from south or north of Musul? After this conversation , the session lasted .The National Assembly joined together on 27 September 1924 , and went on discussing the Musul Issue. In this session , reporter Mr Brantig wanted this to be clarified whether to admit the decision from England and the Turkish Grand National Assembly by supporters. Essentially , England explained that it was going to accept the National Assemblys decision , but Turkey didnt express its view and decision for this issue , it was requıred from Turkey to inform its opinion. Mr Fethi said that he didnt consider as the England considered applying the National Assemblys referee but it didnt mean to cease from.sovereignty on Musul , but ready to accept the results being applied plebicite.
The National Assembly examined the Musul Issue . The commission dated on. 30 September 1924 and decided to establish a commission for three people who presented the necessary informations and suitable proposals.The commission in the event of necessity had a right to search and examined from its exact location. On condition that , the members would be appointed to help and counsel the commission by the two Governments. It would be paid attention being also neutral the three members who were going to be chosen from commission. The commission members for three people , who were going to constitute for examing the Musul Issue by Assembly were these: Kont Teleki ( the Former President of Hungary ) Af Wirsen ( Bucharest Ambassador of Switzerland ) A. Paulis (Retired Colonel Belgium)
The comission was set up on 19 November 1924 in Cenevre , verifed the style of working and arranged a list which was going to be given to the sideless. Before , it visited The Englishs official positions and took their opinion. After that , it presented necessary contacts on 4 January 1924 in Ankara in the mean time the commission visited to Pasha Mustafa Kemal being in Konya was accompanying with Pasha Cevad who was the former inspector behalf of Turkey. Also experts were given for helping Pasha Cevad . On 16 January 1925 , the commission reaching to Bağdat met with ranking officer . An engagement wanted to be given the Musul Province to Iraq , based on services of his government in Iraq printed with the Englishs dialect , presented to commission by King Faysal. The commission from the first day was met kinds of oppressions both from the English and Iraq officials . The commission pointed out these oppressions which he presented report to the National Assemblies.
At was going to be useful to give an example in these restrictions. Mr Henry Dobs , Ranking Police officer of England in Bağdat was ready in this session. He had wanted Mr. Nazım and Mr Fettah being from Iraq nationality and among the Turkish specialists to be taken out from salon because they were accepted hatre to the Iraq Government . Morever going forvard , he also requested them arrested. But , the comission didnt require and refused this wanting that having reminded two specialists being from Musul and couldnt be counted as Iraq nationality without being solved the border ıssue. In spite of this it was noticed that Pasha Cevats helpers and assistant were kept in an encompent and placed under house arrest. The members of comission going to environs of event with Pasha Cevats requirement indicating this situation had seen that Turkish comittee was being arrested a few kilometer from Bağdat and setted down in Military zone with barbed wire. This disgusting event pointed out the Ranking Police Officer.
Although all measures taken by the English and much oppressions made by Iraq Posts , actually folk not only was showing their gratitude to the Turkish but also wasnt leaving to show devation to the Turkish Administration . When commission came to Musul on Januarry 27 1925 , they had astonished in front of enthusiastic shows of Musul folk.The demonstrations done in favor of Turkey had changed to large shows in place . Happening a situation in Musul where the commission came , Kont Teleki had told on his commission report in this way : I wanted to wonder Mr. Rodollo and Mr. Şarrar together on Januarry 27 been day which commission arrived in Musul while leaving from our home , Pasha Cevat wearing his uniform suggested accompaning to me. As I wanted to see the effect of uniform was going to make on folk , I accepted Pashas offer when we went out the police had started chasing us that , surrounding Pasha approximately thirty people kissed his hand and on the other hand the voices started raising that Hurrah Turkey! The crowd went up behind us , they had been almost two hundred and the shouts were increasing , as well.
Passing in front of barracks interfering a few policemen tried scattering the crowd . While coming in front of shopping district , three policemen and one of them being the English mingling with people in there increased the crowd more and more. Pasha came under appluases and shows of love , again . The crowd was like coming into various component. Some of them had worn cleanly. Some of them were looking like biggers including children , too. The Policemen started endeavouring again to scatter folk. The folk started to conform to their orders , as well. At the same time we saw to policemen interfering with stick to the accuption and of them beated attacking an old-aged man who took shelter in one of shops in bazaar.I wanted to interfere violently.I called an officer and told him that:I prohibit you beating man in front of one of National Society Members
After this event , who where making demonstration in favour of Turkey were arrsted. Mean while , the commission members were taken under strict custody.The members being official in commission and entries exits of clerks and people who get in touch were started to control by the police. Under these striputions , the commussion understood being impossible to do investigation and it informed this to the auxilary members of the English and Turk , After all of these, the commission could have started its works at last. During these studies which the commission executed ; the folk region and people counting very important were listened ; their opinions were taken. The committee was doing overall investigation like centres of Musul , Erbil , Kerkük and it was sending sub commission to the residential districts around centres of Sincar , Telafer , Akra , Altunköprü , Kifri. Before going to Süleymaniye , from there to Erkük , Altunköprü and Erbil , later going to Musul , from there going to Zaha and Duhaka the members of comittee was going on investigation listening people who were invested over names given by both of sides . Sometimes , the commission accepted a group which was enrolled to both of the sides list. And sometimes they questioned the individuals by defining their identity.
After that , the members of the committe says We dont afraid neither English nor Turkish people and youll , say your heart ambitions to ours ears: Do you want to have Turkey or Iraq ? They are asking and inviting themselves to answer secretly and respectively. But , many of whoms answer The Turkish Morever , some of them didnt need to keep secret and said If they want to kill me , they can do , I cant be servart on subject , because I want Turkey. Some of them say to their ears : I wont Turkey but now while I am leaving from this door , I shout Hurroh Iraq , you never mind me. At one hand the members of commission said that We want Turkey but on the other hand they neednt have to ask a new question , because there had been already 70-80 village. In Selahiye (old Kifri) where members of the comission reached citizens answering the questions not secretly publicly.
The people seeing off the commission with azan , pointed that they wanted. Turkey with heavenly production and prayer to express. By them in Kifri , a historical Turkish city we want Turkey sounds were going up by English people and from the people whose names were given to the commission by the English.
