AHC Restore the Ottoman Empire

Exactly as it states in the title.

The POD has to be from either 1922 to present day

Find a way to do it please!!!!
Maybe Zog feels like he isn't cut out to be king and appoints Mehmed VI King of Albania. Seeing as how the Ottoman Empire was a dynastic rather than National polity it meets the bare minimum requirements. Have the TL proceed as an Albania wank from there to appear less lame.
 
Perhaps Atatürk is assassinated on very early days of his presidency and there is civil war and Ottoman claimant is able to establish government. Not necessarilty even to whole of modern day Turkey but perhaps around of Constantinople.
 
Decide that for stability, retaining the sultanate is preferable, and then have instability in the Arab world prompt pushes for some sort of federation or union with Turkey under the Caliph/Sultan.

That's a fun idea.

Maybe we couple that with the Turkish Republic being more successful in its Wars of Independence/Restoration and period immediately afterwards.

-Conquer West Thrace, Kavala, and the Eastern Aegean Islands from Greece
-Conquer Republican Armenia without Soviet help (as for the Armenians, maybe France puts them in Syria?) and back up the Democratic Republic Georgia
-Use the Armenian issue to get the French to help the Mosul question be settled in Turkey's favor


Ultimately this restored Nationalist Turkey decides it wants to influence Albania, so it agrees to restore the Ottomans as the (very very nominal) Sultans of Turkey and the "Ottoman Empire" is a ceremonial entity uniting Turkey and Albania like the British Queen is formally head of the Commonwealth.

Operation Barbarossa succeeds and then Hitler turns on Turkey and installs an Ottoman puppet ruler there?

I was thinking after an Axis victory, Mussolini would try to attack, and annex Turkey to get Constantinople to legitimize his Neo-Roman Empire, but Hitler would fight a war with Mussolini, because Italian Constantinople means complete control of the Black Sea, and after, Hitler would restore an Ottoman to Turkey, as a way to counterbalance Italian expansion in North Africa, and Arabia.

I don't know how plausible is Hitler attacking to Turkey but he wouldn't establish monarchy. He was very anti-monarchy so he wouldn't ever restore Ottomans.
