same reason. In fact, we are settled on the shores of the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, and
the Indian Ocean, but we can not risk sailing through any ocean. We will never able to
defeat a naval force.” (During Dr. Jackh’s visit, Mustafa Kemal was ill and this
conversation was made in his tent. In his memories, Dr. Jackh says, “Mustafa Kemal was
very ill. He was malaria, so I went to his tent to see him. He was so weak that I could
