After the Declaration of the National Pact adopted by the last Ottoman Chamber of Deputies, Allied Powers were concerned that this project would not be implemented and decided to take tough measures against this movement. Afterwards, on 16 March 1920, actual occupation of Istanbul was carried out by the British army. Upon this development, Mustafa Kemal Pasha, as the Chairman of the Delegation of Representatives of the National Assembly in Ankara, called for the immediate initiative and convention of the Anatolian provinces. Having gathered on 23 April 1920, the Grand National Assembly, tried, on the one hand, to manage the implementation of the new domestic policy and related activities and, on the other hand, made prior efforts to establish diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia. With the help of Russian support (money and weapons received from the Soviet Union), the armed phase of the national struggle for independence in Anatolia was completed and the Turkish Grand Attack (Great Taarruz) resulted in a political outcome with Mudanya Armistice. This Report, of documentary significance, from the Presidential Archive, is concerned with foreign policy developments from the opening of the Grand National Assembly in Ankara to the Lausanne Conference. The document was prepared by the ministry of foreign affairs and, most probably, submitted to Mustafa Kemal Pasha. It can shed light on some of the important details about the period beyond what is already known.
