Etwa zu dieser Zeit floh 1922 der letzte osmanische Sultan, Mehmed VI., an Bord eines britischen Kriegsschiffs nach Malta – damals unter britischer Kontrolle. Nach dem Zusammenbruch des Reiches verbot die neue Regierung der osmanischen Familie, in der Türkei zu leben, und die britischen Behörden gewährten ihr Asyl.

British granted their enemy asylum?
1565, the walls of Malta protected it’s defenders from the massive army of sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. 350 year later his descendant lands there, seeking protection.
Hopefully we will see the current sultan-wannabe run away like this, like a coward chicken shit that he is.
How ironic it is that an Ottoman sultan could only set foot on Malta after losing his title
Good bye, Ancien Régime
Good riddance
Mehmet VI was openly a British collaborator and sent an army of religious zealots to crush the Turkish independence movement.
There is a reason Ataturk became such a staunch secularist and brought laws from Switzerland, Italy, Germany and other countries to solidify a secular regime; English, as well as the Sultan, used religion as a weapon to advance their agenda.
Sultan was a palace boy, he was motivated by keeping his title and palace and did not care that rest of the country was about to get shared amongst English, French, Italians and Greeks.
Ottoman Empire was dead for a long time now.
Ataturk is the reason Turkey exists.
