Everything else being good enough the allies didnt bother asking for Istanbul.

They tried the same shit they did with Israel/Palestine but with Greece/Turkey.
Unfortunately unlike the palestines turkey still had an army, that albeit not what it used to be, was still made up of trained soldiers and commanders.
And one of the generals declaring a republic and an end to islamic rule certainly invigorated them.

it was bad for the other orthodox's in the area. and also in the long run which made it a loss, but from a catholic pov where there is no more threat from orthodox and byzantine, its a victory. but i do agree that it was a loss just not in every point of view

It was, it is and always will be retarded akin to the Vietnam of Greece.

What you mean apathy/right kind of christian, what the fuck are you on about ? Everyone knows Eastern Orthodoxy is based AF and I think the 1922 campaign reached fucking Ankara before the front collapsed.
