Turkish treaty aims and Sevres adjustments in London talks
Report from London notes that enforcement of the Sevres treaty is feasible with funds ready, and forces may campaign against Mustapha Kemal Pasha. Britain and France show divergent views, with Lloyd George likely to seek concessions on the Turkish treaty in exchange for reparations support. France may withdraw from Cilicia but keep the Syria mandate, while urging no more lives spent on Turkish matters. Venizelos seeks to preserve Sevres gains, and Grod Gouraud warns of prolonged Cilicia conflict.
