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.

It is confirmed that the Armenians should be transferred to the indicated region as communicated in the February 13th telegram. As the situation has been evaluated by the state, the probability of rebellion and protest indicates the need to take action. The increasing possibility of Armenian uprisings requires that every effective means of suppression needs to be applied.
