The counter-coup, led by a certain Dervish Vahdeti, reigned supreme in İstanbul for a few days. It was put down by Hareket Ordusu (The Army of Action) constituted in urgency with troops stationed in the Balkans and which rapidly departed from Selanik. Among the officers who entered the capital was Mustafa Kemal.
A few weeks after the re-establishment of order, Sultan Abdul Hamid II himself was deposed and sent to exile in Selanik, and replaced by his brother Mehmed V Reşad.
