representatives signed the treaty in Sèvres, France.  The treaty
had four signatories, Rıza Tevfik, the grand vizier Damat Ferid
Pasha, ambassador Hadi Pasha and the minister of education Reşid
Halis who were endorsed by Sultan Mehmed VI. The treaty was not
sent to Ottoman Parliament for ratification, as it was abolished
on March 18 1920 by the British, during the occupation of
Istanbul. The treaty was never ratified by the Ottoman Empire.
Of the Principal Allied powers it excluded the United States.
Russia was also excluded because it had negotiated the Treaty of
Brest-Litovsk with the Ottoman Empire in 1918. In that treaty,
at the insistence of the Grand Vizier Talat Pasha, the Ottoman
Empire regained the lands Russia had captured in the Russo-
Turkish War (1877–1878), specifically Ardahan, Kars, and Batumi.
