Talaat Pasha and Soghomon Tehliraian: Genocide and Revenge

This one is a bit different. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to tell either of these men’s stories without talking about the other. Fate and hatred pulled these two towards each other in a way that is like something out of a movie. Talaat Pasha was a Turkish politician and military leader who was, bare minimum, one of the most evil people who has ever been, but most people have never heard his name. Soghomon Tehliraian wanted to get an education. The issue between these two goes back centuries before either where born, when the Turks decided that Armenia didn’t need to be a country and took half of it. Once the out guys came into the picture, Pasha decided that the Armenian People didn’t need to exist anymore. He was responsible for the extermination of damn near 2 million people. Tehliraian’s family was among them. Sometimes the bad guys get away with the evil they do. Sometimes they don’t.
