İstanbul Büyükelçiliği Baştercümanı Gerald Fitzmaurice ile 1908–1914 döneminde İstanbul’da İngiliz Büyükelçiliği yapan Gerard Lowther, söz konusu periyotta Osmanlı – İngiliz ilişkilerine tesir etmiş önemli isimlerdir. Bununla beraber onlar Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’ndaki siyasi ve toplumsal gelişmelerin niteliklerinin Londra’da daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlamaya yönelik bir yaklaşım içinde olmamıştır. Bu sebeple İngiltere’de Osmanlılara yönelik bilgisizlik ve önyargıların daha da beslenmesine sebep olmuşlardır. İngiltere’nin İstanbul Büyükelçiliği’ne musallat olmuş zafiyet, sadece Lowther ve Fitzmaurice ile de sınırlı olmamış diğer görevlilerde son derece Osmanlı-karşıtı bir hissiyat ve eylem içinde olmuştur. Bu çerçevede, Birinci Dünya Savaşı boyunca hiç dinmeksizin devam ettirilecek bu propagandanın, Türk ve Osmanlı-karşıtlığı noktasında esasen yıllardır önyargılarla beslendiğini kaydetmek doğru olur.

Abstract

Gerald Fitzmaurice, Chief Dragoman of the British Embassy in Turkey and British ambassador (1908–1914) Geard Lowther were two important actors of Ottoman-British relations.  However, they were not very interested in conveying the political and social developments in Ottoman Empire to London, a situation that led to ignorance and prejudice on the affairs of the Ottoman Empire. The other stuff of the British embassy in İstanbul who had anti-Ottoman feelings also share the blame.

Keywords: World War I, Çanakkale Wars, Fitzmaurice, Valentine Chirol
