Today in history.

15th March 1921.

Talaat Pasha (his real name was Mehmed Talaat), architect of the Armenian genocide, and the Sayfo (Assyrian genocide) and de facto leader of the Ottoman Empire from 1913 to 1918 and chairman of the CUP was killed by an Armenian vigilante as part of Operation Nemesis.

Operation Nemesis was a project carried out by numerous Armenian politicians and intellectuals to assassinate those who they deemed responsible for the Armenian genocide along with Azerbaijani officials responsible for the slaughter of Armenian populations in their country during the Russian civil war.

It would last from 1920 to 1922 with seven such officials being killed. With Talaat Pasha being among them.

It goes without saying but that shithead DESERVED what he got!

I’m not a fan of vigilantism, but I will say that Operation Nemesis was a masterpiece of a thing.

Especially when it came to dealing with Talaat Pasha.

“We have been blamed for not making a distinction between guilty and innocent Armenians. [To do so] was impossible. Because of the nature of things, one who was still innocent today could be guilty tomorrow. The concern for the safety of Turkey simply had to silence all other concerns. Our actions were determined by national and historical necessity.” —Talaat Pasha, Berliner Tageblatt

It’s always the same reasoning, over and over.

Fun additional fact from Wikipedia: Israel–Turkey relations deteriorated in the late 2010s, but Israel's relations with Azerbaijan are close and the Azerbaijan–Israel International Association has lobbied against recognition of the genocide.

(Read through the articles about the WWI Armenian genocide with caution - there are graphic photos of bodies here and there.)

“Human shields” is among the most despicable phrases invented by human beings. I bet every time someone justifies the slaughter of Palestinian civilians in Gaza by calling them “human shields used by Hamas”, perpetrators of genocide from years past are kicking themselves in their graves for not thinking of that justification. Like, Talaat Pasha would have gotten so much mileage out of “human shields”: “The deaths of Armenian women, children, and elders are tragic and we condemn the Dashnaks for using their own people as human shields.”

Yes, I am saying that this argument in defense of Israeli policy is transparent apologia for genocide and that Benjamin Netanyahu’s government are committing genocide and have made rhetorical innovations that perpetrators of genocide past and future will make use of.

Armenian Assassinates Talaat Pasha

Soghomon Tehlirian (1896-1960), Talaat’s assassin, pictured in 1921.

March 15 1921, Berlin--The day after Turkey left the war, much of the Young Turk leadership, including Talaat, Djemal, and Enver Pasha, fled Constantinople with German help.  In 1919, courts-martial established under Allied pressure in Constantinople sentenced them to death in absentia.  Djemal had thence gone to Afghanistan and Enver to Moscow, but Talaat had remained in Berlin, and German authorities had no plans to extradite him to Turkey.

The Armenian nationalist Dashnaks decided to carry out justice for the Armenian Genocide themselves, and ordered assassinations of the leading Young Turks and other major figures deemed responsible for the genocide.  On March 15, Soghomon Tehlirian shot Talaat as he exited his house in Charlottenburg.  He did not attempt to flee the scene, and was promptly arrested.

At his trial, which included such witnesses as Liman von Sanders, Tehlirian testified:

I do not consider myself guilty because my conscience is clear...I have killed a man.  But I am not a murderer.

After an hour’s deliberation, the jury acquitted him.

Talaat Pasha's Official Orders Regarding the Armenian Massacres, March 1915-January 1916

March 25th, 1915

To Djemal Bey, Delegate at Adana:

The duty of everyone is to effect on the broadest lines possible the realization of the noble project of wiping out of existence the well-known elements [note: Armenians] who for centuries have been the barrier to the empire's progress in civilization.

We must, therefore, take upon ourselves the entire responsibility, pledging ourselves to this action no matter what happens, and always remembering how great is the sacrifice which the Government has made in entering the World War. We must work so that the means used may lead to the desired end.

In our dispatch dated February 18th, we announced that the Djemiet has decided to uproot and annihilate the different forces which for centuries have been a hindrance; for this purpose it is forced to resort to very bloody methods. Certainly the contemplation of these methods horrified us, but the Djemiet saw no other way of insuring the stability of its work.

Ali Riza [Note: the committee delegate at Aleppo] harshly criticised us and urged that we be merciful; such simplicity is nothing short of stupidity. We will find a place for all those who will not cooperate with us, a place that will wring their delicate heartstrings.

Again let me remind you of the question of property left. This is very important. Watch its distribution with vigilance; always examine the accounts and the use made of the proceeds.

THE DJEMIET
