Concluded on 30 October 1918 and taking effect at noon the next day, the Armistice of Mudros (Turkish: Mondros Mütarekesi) ended hostilities in the Middle Eastern theatre between the Ottoman Empire and the Allies of World War I. It was signed by the Ottoman Minister of Marine Affairs Rauf Bey and British Admiral Somerset Arthur Gough-Calthorpe, on board HMS Agamemnon in Moudros harbor on the Greek island of Lemnos.[1]
Among its conditions, the Ottomans surrendered their remaining garrisons outside Anatolia, granted the Allies the right to occupy forts controlling the Straits of the Dardanelles and the Bosporus, and to occupy any Ottoman territory "in case of disorder" threatening their security. The Ottoman army (including the Ottoman air force) was demobilized; and all ports, railways and other strategic points were made available for use by the Allies. In the Caucasus, the Ottomans had to retreat to within the pre-war borders between the Ottoman and the Russian Empires.
The armistice was followed by the occupation of Constantinople (Istanbul) and the subsequent partitioning of the Ottoman Empire. The Treaty of Sèvres (10 August 1920), which was signed in the aftermath of World War I, imposed harsh terms on the Ottoman Empire, but it was never ratified by the Ottoman Parliament in Istanbul. The Ottoman Parliament was officially disbanded by the Allies on 11 April 1920 due to the overwhelming opposition of the Turkish MPs to the provisions discussed in Sèvres. Afterward, the Turkish War of Independence was fought from 1919 to 1923. The Grand National Assembly of Turkey, established in Ankara on 23 April 1920 by Mustafa Kemal Pasha and his followers (including former MPs of the closed Ottoman Parliament), became the new de facto government of Turkey. The Armistice of Mudros was superseded by the Treaty of Lausanne, signed on 24 July 1923, following the Turkish victory in the War of Independence.

We dont want to repeat the same mistakes. We will no longer tolerate the disregard of Turkey's national security. All these discussions stems from our desire not to take a step back on this issue. There is such great arrogance at the core of the matter.

Turkey has approached the NATO with as much responsibility and self-sacrifice as few other members can, and has fully fulfilled its duty all of these years. And today, We are the only NATO country that has faced the Russian forces militarily from the caucasus to africa. As for ISIS crisis, we were the only NATO country that fights against terrorism with its own army, not over with other proxy 'terrorist' organizations.
Can't claim all the credit. U.S. helped lead a coalition to deal with ISIS in Iraq and Syria with Special Forces and airstrikes along with artillery support and working with Iraqi Army. Not to mention taking on the Russians themselves by hitting Wagner when they attacked the U.S. Special Forces in Syria. Also the tense confrontation between the Russian and American troops at other times. Pretty chaotic in Syria with many groups and countries involved.


 
Swedish Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist attended the PKK terrorist organization's 33rd anniversary celebrations in Borlänge in 2012.

Hultqvist was the "member of parliament" at that time.

The rags of the terrorist organization PKK and Öcalan were hung in the “celebration” and the anthem was sung underneath.
