44 12th October,1920. Secret. Urgent. Translation of Telegram from M.Venizelos to the Greek Minister in London. Please communicate to Field-Marshal Sir H.Wilson following answer to the four points raised by him in his last message. 1. The time considered by our General Staff necessary to reach Eski-Sehir and Afion-Kara-Hissar is ten days and three weeks from that point to Angora, i.e. from a month in all. Within the same period the Pontus could also be occupied. 2. Once the occupation of Angora has taken place our troops will have to remain there for about six months to allow for the organisation of the gendarmerie as provided under the Treaty of Peace. 3. The natural ethnographical boundaries of the Pontus would consist firstly of the villayet of Trebizond, excluded the sandjak of Gazistan; secondly the Sandjak of Sinope in the Villayet of Kastamoni and thirdly the three Sandjaks of Amasie,Tokat and Karahissa in the villayet of Sivas. The exclusion of Samsoun would not appear to be necessary as Sinope appears far superior as an out- let to the sea for the Turks. 4.

44 12 Ekim 1920. Gizli. Acil. M. Venizelos'tan Londra'daki Yunan Elçisine gönderilen telgrafın çevirisi. Lütfen Mareşal Sir H.Wilson'a, son mesajında ortaya koyduğu dört hususa ilişkin aşağıdaki cevabı iletiniz. 1. Genelkurmayımızın Eski-Sehir ve Afion-Kara-Hissar'a ulaşmak için gerekli gördüğü süre on gün, bu noktadan Angora'ya kadar ise üç haftadır; yani toplam yaklaşık bir aydır. Aynı süre içinde Pontus da işgal edilebilir. 2. Angora'nın işgali gerçekleştikten sonra, Barış Antlaşması'nda öngörüldüğü şekilde jandarmanın teşkilatlandırılmasına imkân vermek üzere birliklerimizin orada yaklaşık altı ay kalması gerekecektir. 3. Pontus'un doğal etnografik sınırları, birincisi, Gazistan sancağı hariç olmak üzere Trebizond vilayetinden; ikincisi, Kastamoni vilayetindeki Sinope sancağından; üçüncüsü ise Sivas vilayetindeki Amasie, Tokat ve Karahissa sancaklarından oluşacaktır. Sinope, Türkler için denize bir çıkış noktası olarak çok daha üstün göründüğünden, Samsoun'un hariç tutulması gerekli görünmemektedir. 4. İngiltere'den talep edilecek yardım, ilk olarak, 1.
