The ottoman Sultan had different priorities which didn't include saving his people and nation
Vahdettin (Sultan) was 61 years old when he married Mrs.
the bride lady was only 19 years old.
Vahdettin had 2 daughters, one 27 years old and the other 29 years old, when he bought himself a wife of 19 years old.
The more important point here is that on the day of Vahdettin's wedding to his 19-year-old bride, the Greek army had crossed to the east of Sakarya and was forcing the gates of Ankara.
Our national forces under the command of Commander-in-Chief Mustafa Kemal Pasha were defending every inch of Anatolia's lands in Sakarya with the philosophy of "There is no line defense, there is only the surface defense, that surface is the whole homeland".
1/3 of the army had fled the war at that time, unfortunately...
those who fled may have thought; "While we are trying to defend the homeland with our heads on the couch, our sultan and caliph are having a wedding with a crispy bride..."
Would a person who loves his homeland even a little marry under these conditions?
our ''ottoman'' friend here seems to be a big fan of this guy.
