Confidential memo to the Presiding Committee of the National Defence of Constantinople, by which its author informs about conversations he had with the Chief of Staff of the British Military Headquarters and the Secretary of the Commission, Mr. Kkoch, who discussed with him, among other things, the possibility of intervention by the Defence Forces, supported by the British, in order to change the status in Asia Minor and ends with his conclusions based on those meetings.

η Αγγλία να μας υποστηρίξει, τότε και μόνο θα ήταν δυνατόν να σκεφτεί κανείς μια τέτοια επιχείρηση. Ο κ. Συνταγματάρχης Κονδύλης ανέφερε τα σχετικά με αυτή την ομιλία στον Αντιστράτηγο ή στον ανώτερό του· εγώ δε […] τα ανακοίνωσα στον σύμβουλο επί των εξωτερικών κ. Καλανόδα, και γνωστοποίησα εν συντομία στον Πρόεδρο της Επιτροπής τις μεγάλες γραμμές της συνομιλίας. Δεν θεώρησα ότι ήταν συμφέρον να γίνει καμία ομιλία και καμία ευρύτερη ανακοίνωση, αφού επρόκειτο ακόμη για απλούστατη σκέψη. 2/ Χθες με παρακάλεσε ο κ. Κκοχ να τον επισκεφθώ στην Αρμοστεία, όπου μετέβην· μου ανακοίνωσε δε ότι ο Στρατηγός αφού επισκέφθηκε θεώρησε ότι το ζήτημα έχει πολιτικό χαρακτήρα και διαβίβασε τη σχετική έκθεση στην Αρμοστεία, και ότι αυτή έχει καθήκον να μου δηλώσει ότι δεν φρονεί ότι είναι δυνατόν να υποστηρίξει ένα τέτοιο σχέδιο. Ο κ. Κκοχ φρονεί ότι μόνο σε περίπτωση ήττας του ελληνικού στρατού θα αναγκαστούν κατά πάσα πιθανότητα οι Άγγλοι ίσως να χρησιμοποιήσουν Έλληνες αξιωματικούς και εθελοντές της Θράκης, αλλά ότι αυτό δεν είναι σχέδιο πολιτικό ζήτημα αλλά στρατιωτικό, το οποίο αφορά όχι την Αρμοστεία αλλά το Στρατηγείο.

İngiltere bizi desteklemeye niyetliyse, ancak o zaman böyle bir girişimi düşünmenin mümkün olabileceğini söyledik. Albay Bay Kondylis bu konuşmaya ilişkin hususları Korgeneral'e ya da bir üstüne bildirdi; ben de […] bunları dış işleri danışmanı Bay Kalanodas'a ilettim, Komite Başkanı'na da görüşmenin ana hatlarını kısaca bildirdim. Herhangi bir konuşma yapılmasını ve daha geniş bir duyuruyu yararlı görmedim, çünkü henüz çok basit bir düşünceden ibaretti. 2/ Dün Bay Kkoch Yüksek Komiserlik'te kendisini ziyaret etmemi rica etti; oraya gittim ve bana şunu bildirdi: General ziyaret ettikten sonra meselenin siyasi nitelikte olduğunu değerlendirmiş ve ilgili raporu Yüksek Komiserlik'e iletmiş; Yüksek Komiserlik de böyle bir planı destekleyebileceği kanısında olmadığını bana bildirmekle yükümlüdür. Bay Kkoch, yalnızca Yunan ordusunun yenilgisi hâlinde büyük bir olasılıkla İngilizlerin belki Yunan subayları ve Trakya'dan gönüllüler kullanmak zorunda kalacaklarını, ancak bunun siyasi bir plan mesele değil, Yüksek Komiserlik'i değil Karargâh'ı ilgilendiren askerî bir mesele olduğunu düşünmektedir.

England to support us, then and only then would it be possible for one to think of such an undertaking. Colonel Kondylis reported the substance of this conversation to the Lieutenant-General or a superior of his, and I […] communicated it to the adviser on foreign affairs, Mr Kalanodas, and informed the President of the Committee briefly of the main lines of the conversation. I did not consider it advantageous that any discussion or any wider communication should take place, since it was still a matter of a very simple idea. 2/ Yesterday Mr Kkoch asked me to visit him at the High Commission, where I went, and he informed me that the General, having visited, had considered that the question has a political character and had transmitted the relevant report to the High Commission, and that the latter has a duty to declare to me that it does not think it possible to support such a plan. Mr Kkoch is of the opinion that only in the event of a defeat of the Greek army will the English in all probability be compelled perhaps to use Greek officers and volunteers of Thrace, but that this is not a political plan question but a military one, which concerns not the High Commission but the General Headquarters.
