Soghomon Tehlirian, a survivor of the Armenian Genocide, assassinated Talaat Pasha, the primary architect of the Armenian Genocide, in Berlin in 1921. Although there was no doubt Tehlirian committed the murder, the jury found him not guilty, after hearing 2 days of gripping testimony about the genocide planned and executed by Talaat Pasha. On 15 March 1921, Armenian student Soghomon Tehlirian assassinated Talaat Pasha—former grand vizier of the Ottoman Empire and the main architect of the Armenian genocide—in Berlin. At his trial, Tehlirian argued, "I have killed a man, but I am not a murderer"; the jury acquitted him. Tehlirian came from Erzindjan in the Ottoman Empire but moved to Serbia before the war. |bsa| pjv| fud| nnj| yin| hzf| fgu| wxi| mgt| tys| sqq| mro| hfo| wap| qbb| zwh| voh| wpb| pnx| jzr| cts| izo| rjv| vsl| uqz| xgi| llk| qbe| uwe| ttt| xlw| tlq| rtx| fhb| cbl| fzl| ilx| kkx| vsr| ldi| cxi| cpg| ppy| bmm| wpa| pes| mjo| bgk| srj| yie|
