Why do they want to occupy Istanbul?

Less than a hundred years ago, the Treaty of Sèvres was signed, marking the beginning of the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire and its ultimate annihilation.
The empire abandoned large parts of its territory to the Allied Nations and approved of their intervention in its internal affairs, to the extent that they wanted to modify the electoral system and proportional representational system of the Ottoman Empire.
In addition, the Allied Nations tried to take control of the empire’s financial resources – reaching the acceptance and supervision of the empire’s budget and financial laws, to later take full control of the Ottoman Central Bank.
The treaty was later rejected by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and some amendments were made on it in the Treaty of Lausanne. Ataturk approved of ending the empire, expelling the Sultan and his family and the adoption of secularism, all in exchange for the recognition of the Republic and the restoration of some of the lands with a new demarcation of the pan-Turkish border.
The Lausanne Treaty was signed on July 24, 1923, with a fixed duration of one hundred years.
Seven years from now, the treaty will become null and void along with all of its clauses that were unfair to the Turks. By then, the Turkish people will regain full sovereignty over the Turkish territory, including the straits of Bosporus and Dardanelles.
The treaty was signed following the end of a devastating war – named at the time World War I – and like all similar post-war treaties, the defeated is forced to sign along the desires of the victor.
The question that stands today: How will the 100-year-old treaty end?
Will the West approve of handing over the straits to Turkey and allowing it to have full sovereignty over its own territories, including the benefit from its natural resources, such as oil and gas?
Will the West accept an economically and militarily strong Muslim state which governs via ballot boxes?
It is difficult to find an answer to such questions today. However, let us observe the West’s reaction to the failed coup attempt, to which the Western countries did not make any quick reaction, as if they were waiting for the news of the overthrow of the elected government on pins and needles. Their statements showed a grave disappointment after the failure of the coup.
When the coup was officially declared a failed one and a popular campaign was launched against the putschists, Western statements surfaced, condemning the arrests rather than the coup itself.
Some officials went too far in their remarks, and threatened to reconsider Turkey’s membership in the NATO and stop the process of its accession into the EU. One of the authors of the EU constitution, Giscard d’Estaing, once said frankly that the European Club is a Christian club and therefore, a Muslim state cannot enter it.
The initial leaks in the details of the coup confirmed massive coordination between the putschists and major countries which were waiting for the return of the military rule in a state whose economy is strong and progressing rapidly with growth rates on the rise. These countries prefer the rule of the generals rather than that of a democratically elected government.
The coup in Turkey revealed the true nature of the major powers – which claim the promotion of the values of democracy and human rights – and confirmed their rejection of a powerful Muslim nation governed democratically.
The collective Western mind which is based on the logic of power cannot possibly bare the existence of real democracy in Muslim countries that were once under their influence. These powers supported the coups in Pakistan, Algeria and Egypt and they wanted for the coup in Turkey to succeed because they know very well that any successful coup attempt in one of the Muslim countries will become a model to inspire other countries.
Returning to the Treaty of Lausanne, it makes sense that the agreement will not end without the start of a new war. The club of the powerful in the world cannot accept the admission of a new member without a war to redraw the scene again as has always been the case.
