The Sultan of Constantinople knew about the nationalists hoarding weapons in the mountains, but did not inform the Allies.  They would just use it as a reason to take more of his territory after all.  Instead, he sought to entrench his legitimacy by declaring new elections.  He hoped this would make the people trust his government enough that they would set aside the foolish notions of a national rebellion.  Unfortunately for him, the Allies did find out.
