The author of this article would like to clarify a passage in paragraph three on page 70.
In the published article, the author openly and fully acknowledged the extensive archival
work of historians such as Stern (1977), Wallach (1976), and Yorulmaz (2014). In the
same paragraph, the author affirms that his approach deliberately proposes how IR schol-
ars may build on the archival research pursued by scholars in other disciplines without
fully duplicating the time-consuming and financially burdensome efforts already
expended. The author also states clearly in the same passage that “the ideal scenario is
for the researcher to work with the original documents, possess the language proficiency
required to read and understand them, and have the material resources to follow the
archival trail from them, as was done in this article.” The author would like to emphasize
that this sentence was not intended and is not to be understood as a claim to the discov-
ery, original translation, or a reinterpretation of the documents in question.
This article employs the archival material interpreted by historians as data for a network
analysis, engaging with those documents that demonstrate which individuals and interac-
tions warrant inclusion. In addition to published compendia such as Lepsius (1927) and
Gooch and Temperley (1928), this list included about two dozen ‘Ottoman Turkish’ docu-
ments that the author reviewed with support from a senior colleague who possessed the
necessary language proficiency. Consequently, the sources used were the translations, inter-
pretations, and record numbers provided in the secondary literature cited in the article.
In addition, the author would like to correct the following in the article:
• Page 67: The Congress of Berlin was convened in 1878, not 1881.
• Page 74: The quotation mistakenly cited as (Stern, 2007: 421) is corrected as
(Earle, 1923: 41) and Earle EM (1923) Turkey, the Great Powers, and the Baghdad
Railway: A Study in Imperialism. New York: The MacMillan Company has been
added to the bibliography.
• Page 88: The author has used the Turkish edition of Wallach’s book, translated by
Brig. Gen. (R) Fahri Celiker and published by the Genelkurmay Basımevi in 1985.
• Page 89: The visualization in Appendix A erroneously includes the names Fawzi
al-Qawuqji and Yasin al-Hashimi. These historical figures were part of an earlier
draft that included a section on the Ottoman Empire’s postwar legacies. These two
individuals were not included in the empirical analysis as presented in Appendix
B, and therefore have no bearing on the findings presented.
