Ahmet Riza and Ibrahim Temo believed that the July Crisis was the best way to dethrone the Three Pashas, and seeing Enver turn to Germany alongside Goeben and Breslau going towards Istanbul sent alarm bells ringing their heads. According to تهيپلوتوف۱۳۳۲ Riza and Temo sent telegrams to exiled and underground Ottoman politicians of the democratic opposition. They sent a notice to Mekertich Portukalian in Marseille to gather the European Ottoman exiles, however for some reason Portukalian never received the message. After the war, Portukalian remarked after hearing about the plot that had he received it, he would have likely supported it. With Portukalian bringing the exiles back home, and the underground politicians contacting Mahmud Muhtar Pasha who commanded the 2nd Division near Istanbul who agreed to the ploy, the idea of Riza and Temo was to finally gain the support of Mehmed V. Of course, Portukalian's absence otl dashed the entire ploy, but what if it didn't? What if in early August 1914, simultaneously alongside the exiled politicians returning to Istanbul and Temo and Riza detaining the Ottoman Parliament whilst the 2nd Division entered Istanbul, a coup was conducted to remove the three pashas and restore a Third Constitutional Era succeeded? What would be the ramifications of this?
