About Talaat Paşa

Mehmed Talat (September 1, 1874 – March 15, 1921), also known as "Talat Pasha", was one of the first important members of the Committee of Union and Progress. He played an increasingly important part in Ottoman politics becoming deputy for Edirne, minister and finally in 1917 Grand Vizier. During World War I, Mehmed Talat was the interior minister who ordered the arrest of Armenian leaders with a order on April 24, 1915 and sent a request for the Tehcir Law on May 29, 1915, which initiated the large scale Armenian Genocide. After the courts gave him a sentence of death in absentia, he left the empire with Enver and Djemal Pashas in 1918. He was assassinated in Berlin in 1921 as a response for evading the war crimes committed under his order.

These different blocs in the Turkish Empire...always conspired against Turkey; because of the hostility of these native peoples, Turkey has lost province after province - Greece, Serbia, Rumania, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Egypt, and Tripoli. In this way, the Turkish Empire has dwindled almost to nothing.
