A newly released book titled “İngiliz Yıllık Raporlarında Türkiye: 1922” (Turkey in AnnualBritish Reports: 1922), part of a series of the same name by Marmara University historyprofessor Ali Satan, includes a document drafted by the then-British high commissioner inİstanbul indicating that the Greek army had planned to invade the city in July 1922. According to the document, written by British High Commissioner Nevile Henderson , Greeceasked the allied powers for permission to invade İstanbul and was denied this approval on July31, 1922 . The British government along with France and Italy showed no tolerance for the planand stopped Greece from realizing its ambition.Great Britain recalled its fleet located in the Mediterranean to İstanbul to show its determinationin line with the other great powers to stop Greek troops from entering the capital city of theOttoman Empire , which was occupied by the allied powers at the time.Henderson stated in his report that the assignment of Georgios Hatzanestis as commander-in-chief of the Greek Army in Asia Minor instead of Anastasios Papoulas in May 1922 was the firststep in the occupation plan. Hatzanestis was known as a radical and a hawk in comparison to hiscolleague. Henderson indicated the attack on Samsun was a pre-strike prepared by the Greeks tofacilitate the implementation of the occupation plan.According to Henderson , the march of four Greek divisions to İstanbul was a very stupid movethat was designed to restore the morale of Greek soldiers and thus weaken and demoralize theenemy by directly capturing the capital city. The occupation plan failed roughly a month beforethe last big battle, which took place between the Turkish and Greek armies on Aug. 26. Ali Satanaddresses the significance of the document by implying that if the Greek army had succeeded ininvading and occupying İstanbul, the Turkish army would have had to fight to take İstanbul back before fighting for İzmir.
