About Enver Pasha
İsmail Enver (November 22, 1881 – August 4, 1922) was an Ottoman military officer who formed one-third of the dictatorial triumvirate known as the "Three Pashas" (along with Talaat Pasha and Cemal Pasha) in the Ottoman Empire, which held de facto rule from 1913 until the end of World War I in 1918. Enver was an early member of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), a Young Turk organization that agitated against Abdul Hamid II's absolute rule. He was a key leader of the 1908 Young Turk Revolution, and along with Ahmed Niyazi and Eyub Sabri was hailed as "hero of the revolution". After the 1913 Ottoman coup d’état that brought the CUP directly to power, he became (4 January 1914) the Minister of War.

Additional quotes by Enver Pasha
We can then use Platonic means to quiet Armenians and Greeks, but in time of war we cannot investigate and negotiate. We must act promptly and with determination. I also think that the Armenians are making a mistake in depending upon the Russians. The Russians really would rather see them killed than alive. They are as great a danger to the Russians as they are to us. If they should form an independent government in Turkey, the Armenians in Russia would attempt to form an independent government there.
