Arabs by the Committee of Union and Progress immediately

soon after they were invested in power. They broke the
promises they had made to the Arabs at the Paris Congress
of 1907. No provinces on the basis of decentralization
and autonomy were to be created in the Arab regions. The
principle of self-rule to which the Young Turks subscribed
before the revolution was altogether abrogated after the
revolution. These developments have disappointed all those
who counted on the good will of the Young Turks and
hoped to solve the national issue within the common framework
